The form of a Paisley-based actor has been immortalised on the side of a Glasgow building.
Cultural icon Methadone Mick, played by Buddie actor Scott Reid, now graces the side of city centre-based Cass Art.
Mick - famed for his dazzling set of oversized blinding white gnashers - became a cult hit as star of iconic BBC sitcom hit Still Game, where he was taken under the wing of OAP lead characters Jack and Victor.
The pair masterminded the infamous makeover which led to the creation of Mick's trademark teeth and saw him land a job after an interview at Glasgow's City Chambers.

Down-and-out Mick captured imaginations when he joined the show in 2016 as a replacement for Pete the Jakey after the character's death.
The looming mural has been introduced at the Queen Street store, complete with resplendent dentistry, replacing the image of a girl smoking a cigarette.
It bears the image of actor Scott, 28, who also starred a DC Mick Clark in the 2020 hit White House Farm - based on the story of Jeremy Bamber, who was jailed for life over the gruesome 1985 murders of five members of his family in Essex.
But now the urban artist known as 'Tapend Tef', famed for creating bold images of pigeons on the city's buildings, has created the work at the art store site.
It comes as part of a project run by art charity Colour Ways - the brainchild of Paisley-born artist Andrew McGlone, known as 'Panda' - which aims to find spaces for urban artists to showcase their work without fear of sanction.
Panda, originally from Glenburn, said: "Since he started painting, Tef has been doing all of the characters from Still Game across Glasgow. Methadone Mick is the second last and they are all in abandoned factories and things around Glasgow.
"But he actually got to paint that one in public without fear, most graffiti artists to practice have to find somewhere out of the way or away from the public but it is great that there are opportunities now to practice in public. It shouldn't really need to be the case in Glasgow they have a mural trail and there are murals around Paisley as well."
Colour Ways aims to support urban artists to link up with owners of public-facing walls who feel their spaces would benefit from the addition of some colourful artwork.
Added Panda: "It can be hard for artists, it's a bit of a grey area, when I was growing up in Glenburn, my mum was a single parent and I didn't have any artists around, by looking at art works like these, people can see it and it's attributable. We can see art around much more with these sort of projects and relatable for people who maybe don't see a lot of art and don't go to galleries."
