Billy Connolly reprice and trade-in options
From the Glaswegian shipyards in the 1960s to the world stage, Sir Billy Connolly's creative journey has traversed the arts. Originally finding fame as a folk singer and comedian, Billy gained a Scottish BAFTA award in 2012 for his contribution to film and television, and received a knighthood in 2017.
His debut visual art collection, Born On A Rainy Day, was launched in 2012 and soon won critical acclaim, with Billy’s style being likened to the cave paintings of the Aurignacian period. The spark of inspiration originated whilst Billy was touring around Canada in 2007, when the wet weather limited his exploration of Montreal. Buying felt-tip pens and a sketchbook from local art shop, Billy began to sketch figures which transformed into this spectacularly eccentric collection.
Speaking on his work, Billy says: “Art, for me, bears no relation to comedy or music. My art is pure and unjudged: I am creating it for myself.”

As the popularity and demand for these humorous giclées increases, our publisher Washington Green has revalued the early Born On A Rainy Day collections. Subsequently, the recommended prices of these pieces will be increased to represent that which could be achieved on the secondary market.
Here at Castle we offer a very exciting opportunity to give your home the perfect art refresh. We’re pleased to offer a trade-in service against this collection at current prices. By returning your current piece to us, you can trade this in for up to 50% payment towards your next piece.
