billy cBilly Connolly is a man of many talents it would seem. The Scottish comedian, who was previously a folk musician of some repute, has just opened his first exhibition to showcase his ink drawings, entitled Born On A Rainy Day and tells us that although he’s very attached to his work, he doesn’t analyse it. “I don’t want the drawings to be judged,” he reveals to Day & Night. “I love them. They’re little pals of mine. I don’t want to offend the drawings but I really don’t know much about them. I’m lacking in information. I don’t know any art-speak so I can’t waffle on. I believe there’s a website that teaches you some art lingo so I’m going to learn some pretentious rubbish for the next time.”
