Hot artist KAWS took a page out of the Jean-Michel Basquiat playbook and drew a custom-made picture on scrap paper for a fan who couldn’t afford his art.

We hear that 23-year-old Roni Willett approached KAWS (real name Brian Donnelly) at a Whitney Museum gala and congratulated him on his recent $14.7 million sale at Sotheby’s in Hong Kong.

Then she said it would be a dream to own one of his works some day.

“He took out a piece of paper and did a little drawing for her,” said a spy.

“It was basically a doodle that said her name and had his signature and the date.”

Basquiat was known for doing small drawings for people on scraps of paper or napkins.

He gave one to Palladium doorman Wass Stevens — who previously recounted to Page Six that the late artist sketched him something to get into the club.

“Every time I would see him, he would draw me a little picture on a napkin or a VIP ticket, which I, of course, threw away, thinking it wouldn’t be of any worth.”

Former Mayor Mike Bloomberg was honored at the museum’s gala, which brought out guests including his daughter Georgina Bloomberg, Leonard Lauder, Cindy Sherman and Michael Kors.
