Note 2: Jack Vettriano, Rachel Maclean and John Byrne were asked to create original works of art to be displayed in the People's Palace in Glasgow and also to be reproduced as 50ft murals to be displayed throughout Glasgow City Centre. If you are in Glasgow you can find Vettriano's Dr Connolly, I Presume? in Dixon Street. Rachel's Big Yin can be found in Gallowgate and John Byrne's portrait is in Osborne Street. The BBC documented each artist and Billy's reaction to the murals in a programme "Billy Connolly: Portrait of a Lifetime". Vettriano released Dr Connolly, I Presume? as a Limited Edition Print. The print sold out within a few hours. Publishers stated "we believe this to be the fastest selling Limited Edition of Vettriano's to date. Not surprising with such a loved Scottish icon as Billy Connolly."
