Sold for £800
Estimated at £800 - £1,000


 
Billy Connolly / Malkie's Day Off Giclee, a Signed, Limited Edition of 295 (this being number 57) of Billy Connolly's 'Malkie's Day Off' glicee on paper. 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. This, the sixth 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. Comes with signed certificate of authenticity. Framed, with Framed area measuring 33 ½" by 26" and paper area measuring 30" by 22 ½" - all in Excellent condition
