Josh Kirby - The Josh Kirby Discworld Portfolio - 1993-1993

The Josh Kirby Discworld Portfolio, volume costituito da una raccolta di 28 tavole a colori su carta patinata in grande formato 42 x 29 cm realizzate da Josh Kirby durante la collaborazione con Terry Pratchett. Prima edizione del 1993, con prefazione in lingua inglese. Le condizioni sono eccellenti. Spedito con imballo accurato e corriere tracciabile. Breve presentazione dell'opera Opere d'arte originali di rara distinzione, tutte nate da una collaborazione davvero speciale tra un autore e un pittore che fedelmente dà vita al suo universo fantastico attraverso le immagini. Quando Josh Kirby ricevette l'incarico di realizzare la copertina per il primo romanzo di Terry Pratchett, Discworld, non immaginava che questo avrebbe portato a qualcosa di molto più grande di un incarico unico. Tuttavia, da allora, la loro collaborazione si è estesa oltre la serie, includendo due precedenti libri di fantascienza e diversi libri per bambini, oltre a Eric, un racconto interamente illustrato. Qui, con colori ricchi e abbaglianti e disegni vividamente energici, compaiono i maghi, le streghe, le creature bizzarre e (ovviamente!) le fanciulle voluttuose che popolano questo mondo insolito: un disco di mare e terra in equilibrio sul dorso di quattro elefanti, a loro volta cavalcati sul dorso di una tartaruga cosmica che nuota nello spazio. In più: una selezione di dipinti tratti dalle loro altre collaborazioni.

Brief presentation of the work
Original works of art of rare distinction, all born from a truly special collaboration between an author and a painter who faithfully brings to life his fantastic universe through images. When Josh Kirby was commissioned to create the cover for Terry Pratchett's first novel, Discworld, he did not imagine that this would lead to something much larger than a single assignment. However, since then, their collaboration has extended beyond the series, including two earlier science fiction books and several children's books, as well as Eric, a fully illustrated story. Here, with rich and dazzling colors and vividly energetic drawings, appear the wizards, witches, bizarre creatures, and (of course!) the voluptuous maidens who populate this unusual world: a disc of sea and land balanced on the backs of four elephants, themselves riding on the back of a cosmic turtle swimming in space. Additionally: a selection of paintings taken from their other collaborations.
