Born On A Rainy Day Portfolio 2020 (Framed set of 6)

 Whilst on tour in Canada in 2007, Billy was inspired by Montreal’s drizzling rain to buy some felt-tip pens and a sketchbook. Over time, his drawings of little islands became intricate yet honest shapes – and Born On A Rainy Day began.

The fifth release from the sell-out series reflects Billy’s idiosyncratic, no-holds-barred comedy. Black-and-white lines, Escher-esque surrealism and an increased use of colour are underpinned by a sense of liberation. His anonymous characters boast a charming simplicity. 

Billy says: “I just want to keep honing the thing that I’ve got and make it better and better – that’s all. That’s the only ambition I feel."

This set includes all six framed titles: 

•  Egyptian Love Story
•  First Position
•  Marshall Art
•  Roman Candles
•  Scotty Poser
•  The Wreck Room

This set comes  displayed on deckle-edged Aquarelle Arches-Torchon 300gsm paper, elegantly float-mounted in handmade black paint and silver foil, pine and spruce frames.
