Billy Connolly The Accidental Artist : Drawings & Stories from the Nation's

ORDER now to secure your special edition with Billys signature sprayed edgeMy drawings started by accident. I was on tour in Montreal a few years ago and found myself sheltering from the pishing rain in an art store. I went in to get dry and came out with an armful of felttip pens and a sketchbook, then went straight back to my hotel room and started to draw. Ive never looked back. Welcome to the visual world of Billy Connolly comedian, actor, storyteller and artist. In elegant, simple lines Billy conjures up a land of fantastic beasts, mysterious inventions, and blissful calm. Some drawings are charmingly simple, others feel complex, strange or rebellious. Through them, Billy offers fascinating glimpses of his childhood and his Scottish homeland, takes us on journeys to farflung places, and shares his lifelong obsession with music, wildlife and fashion. People think I paint or draw things on purpose. I dont, I just draw. It is a portal for my imagination. And, just like my standup, I never know where it will lead. The Accidental Artist brings together the best of Billys drawings with a selection of his most beloved stories. It is a joyful collision of colour, creativity and storytelling, and an exhilarating new portrait of Billys extraordinary life. | Billy Connolly The Accidental Artist : Drawings & Stories from the Nation's
