Description
A favourite (and suitable?) quote by the late Sir Terry Pratchett written painstakingly by hand. I wish the spacing were better but I sadly have other things I wanted to do this weekend. I also screwed up the attribution; the quote is from Mort, not Reaper Man. Oh well.Bleed-proof white and gouache on black Ingres paper. About 53x33cm.

I thank you. I am a bit unhappy with it, but it was a "now or never" kind of thing.

Just wonderful. Great Capitals. Pen written? What a wonderful writer he was, and how sad that he will not know the touching tributes paid to him, including yours. Mind you, he'd probably have said something funny about it - his greatest gift was to remind us to poke fun at ourselves. Fab.

Yes, steel penβa Speedball C-3 or -4, I forget which.
I agree, he had a wonderful self-deprecating humour about him and his works, and though he is gone now I am confident his legacy will endure for a long time to come.

Beautiful work, I thought it was typed in computer font until I read the description, a lovely tribute and the quote is sadly fitting too.

Thank you. I'm not convinced it's quite that consistent but I am glad you enjoyed the piece, and the quote.Β
