The Billy Connolly mural on Dixon Street features a massive, monochrome portrait of the comedian wearing a brightly colored suit, rendered from a photograph by John Bellany. This image appeared in two thousand seventeen to celebrate Connolly's seventy-fifth birthday. The artist, Jack Vettriano, chose the pose because it shows the performer in a moment of quiet reflection, distinct from his usual manic stage energy. It stands at five stories tall, overlooking the Clyde and capturing a local icon permanently in the city center.
