Busy Doing Nothing is a signature work by James McQueen that was released during lockdown. Referencing Bing Crosby’s 1949 song, famously featured in the film A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, this work reimagines a classic Penguin book cover with the iconic phrase. Hand-finished in a striking yellow and blue design, this mixed-media work on watercolour paper features paint splashes and drips that create a dynamic, textured backdrop for the bold central typography. This piece is one of McQueen’s highly collectible works, valued for its internationally recognised phrase and unique, personalised touches, including being signed and numbered by the artist.
