SKILL: Artist Susan Harrison holds up the caricature of Bill Randall SKILL: Artist Susan Harrison holds up the caricature of Bill Randall

Not many people would be prepared to poke fun at a city leader. But caricaturist Susan Harrison captured all of Brighton and Hove mayor Bill Randall ’s most identifying characteristics.

Coun Randall was one of the artist’s first subjects to lay their flaws bare during her exhibition at the Fishing Quarter.

The renowned artist’s beach collection includes dozens of graphic nude portraits but she preserved the mayor’s dignity by sketching him in his chains.

The exhibition is open daily, 11am to 7pm, until August 21.

P ussy, really? I think you over there at the Argus can turn down your filth-filters from ABJECT HORROR!!! Heaven knows what would happen if there was a story about migratory birds encroaching onto a paltry farm, what with all the c*cks, t*ts, b**bies and sh*gs!
