And On Monday, God Made The World (Large)

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.

A reimagining of the sold-out artwork released in 2018, ‘And On Monday, God Made The World’ is a special edition graphic inspired by Billy's past as a welder on Glaswegian dockyards. First appearing as sketches in his earlier Born on a Rainy Day collections, the world-famous musician and comedian later transformed these abstract artworks, from sketchpad- to stainless steel- to Giclée artworks! Billy Connolly's iconic artworks have continued to evolve and are now transformed into a colourful fine art limited edition.

Charmingly and unmistakeably witty with distinctive bold lines, as 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. Billy’s art is simplistic, his 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. Speaking on the famous collection, 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 piece is a Double Hit Flatbed Giclée Limited edition on Atlantis Watercolour Paper framed with museum glass.
