World renowned artist and the man who brought so much of Sir Terry's books to life, Josh Kirby would be celebrating his birthday today!

I am late to the party, by around 40 years.
But I have recently delved into Terry Pratchett's Discworld and although I'm only 2 books into this 41 book epic, I feel this is becoming a new obsession.
The world building in these books is wonderful. And I've never sat and giggled to myself as much when reading. These books are weird and wonderful and very silly in the best way.
Can we please appreciate Josh Kirby's original artwork for the series and how sick his designs are. The attention to detail is 🔥
