The Accidental Artist Drawings & Stories From The Nation's Favourite Comedian

Binding: Hardcover
Description: My 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 felt - tip pens and a sketchbook then went straight back to my hotel room and started to draw. I've 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 far - flung places and shares his life - long obsession with music wildlife and fashion. People think I paint or draw things on purpose. I don't I just draw. It is a portal for my imagination. And just like my stand - up I never know where it will lead. The Accidental Artist brings together the best of Billy's drawings with a selection of his most beloved stories. It is a joyful collision of color creativity and storytelling and an exhilarating new portrait of Billy's extraordinary life.
