Billy Connolly reprice and trade-in options

From the Glaswegian shipyards in the 1960s to the world stage, Sir Billy Connolly's creative journey has traversed the arts. Originally finding fame as a folk singer and comedian, Billy gained a Scottish BAFTA award in 2012 for his contribution to film and television, and received a knighthood in 2017.

His debut visual art collection, Born On A Rainy Day, was launched in 2012 and soon won critical acclaim, with Billy’s style being likened to the cave paintings of the Aurignacian period. The spark of inspiration originated whilst Billy was touring around Canada in 2007, when the wet weather limited his exploration of Montreal. Buying felt-tip pens and a sketchbook from local art shop, Billy began to sketch figures which transformed into this spectacularly eccentric collection.

Speaking on his work, Billy says: “Art, for me, bears no relation to comedy or music. My art is pure and unjudged: I am creating it for myself.”
