Billy Connolly
Clay for M. Tussauds, 2000

Billy gave two sittings for this portrait figure, the first only for photos and measurements. Fortunately he had shaved his beard and moustache off by the second sitting, so I was able to resolve the mouth area. I was often working against the clock at Madame Tussauds and found that I was able to increase the intensity of the expression after I had removed the hair for the mould to be made. There was no time to re-apply it for the photo. The sittings were fantastic fun with such a hilarious raconteur.
