AS Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton fight it out to be President of America, artists from the Scottish Cartoon Art Studio have captured both candidates in caricature.

Drawings of the Presidential candidates have been revealed to the public at the People’s Palace.

The artworks will be new additions to the exhibition Fizzers: 10 Years of Caricature, which features drawings of over 120 international icons and Scottish celebrities.

Studio Co-ordinator Terry Anderson, who created the Trump caricature, said: “I was an art student in the USA during the 1996 Presidential campaign - Bill Clinton was running for re-election against Bob Dole.

"The two provided a decent amount of material for cartoonists and satirists to work with, but I don’t think there’s ever been a race as bizarre in tone and dense with incident as this one.

“We waited in anticipation as the two parties selected their candidates. Now that the outcome is known, and the real campaigning gets underway in September, we’re happy to complete our display with the caricature of Clinton and Trump."

The drawings will sit side by side in the gallery until America votes on November 8.

Then, when the winning candidate is announced, the display will be updated and the President Elect’s caricature moved to the ‘top spot’ currently occupied by Derek Gray’s drawing of President Barack Obama.

Councillor Archie Graham, chairman of Glasgow Life, said: “In January 2017 America will have a new leader.

"When the US picks its president, it is not only choosing a head of state but a head of government and a commander-in-chief of the largest military on the planet.

“Now the two candidates are confirmed they will be dashing from state to state in a frenzied campaign to win votes.

"Although this is happening thousands of miles away across the pond, you can’t help to get caught up in the excitement and spectacle of the American election.

“We are witnessing an immensely important time in world politics.

"It is fitting that the People’s Palace, our museum dedicated to social history, is engaging with what will be regarded as an enormously significant time in history."

The name ‘Fizzer’ is adapted from the Glaswegian slang for face.

This exhibition reflects a decade’s worth of Fizzers selected from the existing collection of more than 400 caricatures created in a mix of traditional and digital media.

A programme of activities and events inspired by Fizzers will take place alongside the exhibition, including a chance to try creating a caricature at workshops.

Fizzers: 10 Years of Caricature at Glasgow’s People’s Palace runs until March 26, 2017.
