NEW pictures by Billy Connolly are to be displayed in an exhibition at a Glasgow gallery later this week.
The drawings by the comedian and actor will be on show at the city's Castle Galleries from Friday.
He said: "I am flattered that my pictures are being exhibited at Castle Galleries.
"My drawings bear no relation to comedy or music and are just big personal doodles, but I'm delighted to share them with the aesthetically astute people of Glasgow."
There will be around 40 pieces, 12 of which are new, in Connolly's spare, black and white, style.
They will be on display until Monday 31st March.
Billy Couper, director of the gallery, added: "This will be our third consecutive year displaying Billy's works however, having never been seen before, this time round it feels much more special - it's a huge coup for the gallery"
Connolly began producing his art in 2012, and he draws faceless figures and animals.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
