A TERRY Pratchett fan and student illustrator has made a huge impression at the latest Discworld convention. Saoirse Towler, from Canford Heath, was thrilled to land a commission designing a series of DiscWorld stamps. Her break came after a birthday visit to the Cunning Articifer’s Discworld Emporium shop in Wincanton, Somerset.
Bernard Pearson’s shop mainly sells Discworld-related merchandise, including a range of the hugely popular stamps. He is a personal friend of Terry Pratchett whose Discworld fantasy novels have sold millions.
The former Bournemouth College of Art student also created a range of Dragon race illustrations for the Discworld convention and a range of postcard illustrations to raise cash for the Alzheimer’s Society.
