Billy Connolly

Born On A Rainy Day, a superb new coffee table book | 2023

After much anticipation, we're delighted to reveal Sir Billy Connolly's debut deluxe coffee table book, Born On A Rainy Day. A must for collectors, the 496-page book features witty anecdotes from The Big Yin alongside his incredible portfolio of graphics, including original and never-seen-before titles. What's more, each book comes with a hand-signed limited edition graphic of Billy's self portrait.

The book is hard-bound in black faux leather, and comes in a black clamshell presentation case. The book itself is printed on exclusive, uncoated 180g/m2 paper, and the pages are edged with neon pink, one of Billy’s favourite colours, which reflects the incredible vibrancy of his work. The large-edition publication weighs 7.1kg, and contains images of all the drawings and sculptures which Billy has produced for Castle Fine Art, plus a foreword by Billy's wife, Dr Pamela Stephenson Connolly. This incredible portfolio of work not only includes all the pieces Billy has released, but also unseen works from his prolific career.

“Drawing has given me a new lease of life. I managed to get pictures together and people like them,which surprises me and amazes and delights me."

The artist

Billy Connolly

The world-famous musician and comedian's iconic artworks have no less impact than one of his legendary comedy sketches. The faceless figures possess an extraordinary self-awareness and humanity. Devoid of emotion or expression, their anonymity opens them up to individual interpretation, creating a unique bond with the viewer.

Featured by The Times and documentaries including Billy Connolly: It's Been a Pleasure, his minimalist drawings have been described as 'poignant', 'funny' and 'enigmatic' by critics.
