• AOD - The Art of Discworld by Paul Kidby

Paul Kidby has been illustrating the Discworld series since 1995. Has done one-offs, cover art and fully illustrated publications for Discworld.

Pratchett states that Paul sees things his way about 75% of the time (and seems to imply that the late John Kirby, who also illustrated Discworld up until his death in 2001, saw things slightly less truely to Pratchett's own vision).

The general aesthetic fits with my view of Ankh Morpork - it's always been timber-framed houses for me.
However seems somewhat monotonous to have all houses in this style. Perhaps variation would be good.

Kidby's view of Pseudopolis Yard doesn't quite fit my image. I always saw it as a single building with a walled-off yard outside that one would enter via a gate (assuming that 'Pseudopolis Yard' referred to the building itself and not the street on which it was located).
