“Put your left hand on the table. Put your right hand in the air. If you stay that way long enough, you’ll get a plot.”
Margaret Atwood on How to Write a Great Novel.

Late one NYC night, West Village bartender Burt Britton found himself alone at last call with Norman Mailer. Wanting to close up, Britton attempted to usher his sole client out of the bar. “What do you want, kid?” the writer grumbled. So Britton asked him to draw a self-portrait.
Mailer drew him one, then finished his drink in peace, and left.
Since then, Britton has collected over 200 celebrity self-portraits, including ones from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Muhammad Ali, Woody Allen, Margaret Atwood, Jorge Luis Borges, Roald Dahl, Joan Didion, Allen Ginsberg, Stephen King, Cormac McCarthy, Paul Newman, Maurice Sendak, John Updike, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Wolfe, and this, by Gloria Steinem.
For a full catalog of the self-portraits, see here.
