Synopsis"I'm one of the very few [writers] who wait anxiously to see what new delights the book cover will bring."--Terry Pratchett. Original artworks of rare distinction--all born from a very special partnership between an author and the painter who faithfully brings his fantastical universe to life in images.When Josh Kirby received the commission to do the cover for Terry Pratchett's first Discworld novel, he had no inkling that this would lead to something much bigger than a one-off assignment. However, since that time, their partnership has expanded beyond the series to include two earlier sci-fi and several children's books, as well as Eric, a fully-illustrated novella. Here, in richly dazzling colors and vividly energetic designs, are the wizards, witches, bizarre creatures, and (of course!) voluptuous maidens that populate this unusual world--a disc of sea and land balanced on the backs of four elephants, which themselves ride on the back of a cosmic turtle that swims through space. Plus: a selection of paintings from their other collaborations. 9 X 12. 64 Color Pages, Josh Kirby's long-standing collaboration with Terry Pratchett, author of the phenomenally successful Discworld novels, has earned him rare distinction in the fantasy art genre. Some of the very best Discworld paintings are featured in this portfolio, in addition to a selection from children's books. Includes artworks featuring such classic Discworld characters as Eric the Demonologist, Death, and Luggage, The Josh Kirby Discworld Portfolio is a must for any fan of Terry Pratchett's fiction and Josh Kirby's artwork.

Beautiful album with early Discworld graphic
The album is paper back, slightly larger then A4 format. It has 28 reproductions of Kirby's covers for Discworld series. The prints are on heavy matte paper. Great colors.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
