It pays to be nice to people — just ask Donald Robertson, the Andy Warhol of Instagram.
The illustrator, who has worked with everyone from Brian Atwood to Bergdorf Goodman, tells The Post how a little kindness helped him gain one boldface fan.
“I literally try to be as nice as possible to everyone,” says Robertson of his many in-shop appearances.

The “shy girl” turned out to be Queen Bey’s stylist — and the next day, to Robertson’s surprise, Beyoncé posted all of her painted gear on Instagram.
“[Beyoncé] is Jesus,” says Robertson. “And the fact she was going through the trouble of celebrating people making stuff, I have to say that was awesome.”
