Happily, on digital media. So it won't be preserved for millenia

I'm definitely a fan of Josh's artwork I knew of him before his Discworld covers, but I also like Kidby's stuff as well.

They're all really good. I can spend ages looking at his covers. It doesn't bother me that they aren't much like the DW or it's characters that I imagine. I thought it was hilarious that he drew Twoflower with 4 eye's. I liked in The Light Fantastic when TP is describing Herrena and he says something like, the reader will no doubt cast their eye to the illustration on the cover of this book. Bloody funny.

I have other books by Craig Shaw Gardner that I bought because of the Kirby cover illustrations. The Cineverse Cycle if you ever come across them. Good for a laugh.

I have all of them as well SIs J, Josh also done some for Robert Rankin and Tom Holt as well as some for various SF books, I have a set of postcards with his artwork on them.
