Are everyone one of us an asshole?
From that last thought, we have made a list of brilliants/ loved/ admired public figures who in sometime of their life were "that asshole" . As you are going down the pages, it will get by surprise with personalities who don´t expect to be on the list.
The best way to represent those "fallen heroes" was in a minimalist vector portrait.
*We do not express any personal opinion of the personalitys below. All the sources are cited at the end of the publication.
