Although we have a large range of Discworld prints for sale these are rather special. We published these in conjunction with Josh Kirby so that there would be some really authentic reproductions of his work available and which, being limited to only 500 copies signed and numbered by him, are collectable items. They are all printed to a very high specification using hand presses in the old traditional way to get the sharpest definition and as close as perfect colour match to the originals as possible. In the initial stages a number of "wet proofs" were produced to be matched against the original Discworld paintings by Josh Kirby to select the best possible colour match (No one can do this better than the artist himself). These Discworld prints are printed on a very heavy 350gsm acid-free board that won't wrinkle or yellow over time. The inks used for these Limited Edition Discworld prints are 'light-fast' which as you've already guessed means they don't fade but if you stick them in the sun to prove this you will find that Josh Kirby's signature might fade so not a clever idea! Artists UK are pleased to have been involved in producing the only high quality fine-art limited editions available of Josh Kirby's Discworld paintings. Josh always said, "they are excellent quality prints". Only five hundred people in the world will get to own one of each of these fabulous Discworld reproductions. There are a few artist's proof copies of the Discworld Limited Edition prints ... until they sell-out (and yep, they're much rarer and cost more!).
