Extra! Extra! Hot off the presses Paul Kidby news!

The biggest project this month is still my work on Terry Pratchett’s new book, ‘The Folklore of Discworld’. This month I aim to complete painting the cover: Take a squint at the finished underpainting below.

Seasons Greetings!

We wish you all a wonderful month of festivities and goodwill. We hope you enjoy this month's Paul Kidby update as much as we are enjoying the run up to Christmas.

I am now cracking on with the colouring up. I am also making good headway on the Folklore of Discworld chapter headings; here is someone who’ll hopefully make it into the final line up…

When I'm not drawing at the moment, I am sculpting! I am creating a three dimensional version of Nemesis the Griffin. As you can see, he’s still in the early stages and doesn’t have his wings on yet, so come back soon to see how I’m getting on. Once he’s finished he will be cast in bronze in a special edition of only twelve.
