Paul Kidby Discworld and Beyond : a Retrospective

Paul Kidby is best known as the illustrator for Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. He started his artistic career in freelance illustration before committing himself to work full-time on Discworld in 1995. Today Paul balances his output between Pratchett and his own projects and lives and works in the north of the New Forest.This exhibition showcases the wonderful book covers and illustrations for Pratchett's novels including favourite characters like Rincewind, the Wee Free Men and of course Death. It also reveals Paul's own projects influenced by British folklore and landscapes. All his work is marked by a staggering quality of draughtmanship and effective use of colour: bright for the book covers and muted for his faerie paintings.Discworld is the registered trademark of Terry Pratchett.
