Designing Terry Pratchett's Discworld

By Paul Kidby

Book Overview

A gorgeously designed full-color visual biography that brings Terry Pratchett's universally beloved Discworld to life as never before and pays tribute to an enduring creative collaboration. "It's still magic, even if you know how it's done." -Sir Terry Pratchett Designing Terry Pratchett's Discworld is a celebration of Discworld art and a brilliant homage to the decades-long collaboration between artist Paul Kidby and Sir Terry Pratchett that takes readers behind the scenes of one of the great creative partnerships. It shows how the Discworld was brought to visual life--from the earliest sketches to the final magnificent masterpieces--and how Pratchett and Kidby were influenced by art and pop culture, fusing them into the Discworld universe. While Pratchett was the undisputed creative fountainhead, for three decades Kidby has been the artistic force taking the people, places, and pieces of man-eating luggage from Terry's ever-fertile imagination right into our world. Packed with never-before-seen art and the stories behind it, it is a must-have for Pratchett fans of all ages.
