Description
“She heard him mutter, 'Can you take away this grief?' 'I'm sorry,' she replied. 'Everyone asks me. And I would not do so even if I knew how. It belongs to you. Only time and tears take away grief; that is what they are for.”
― I Shall Wear Midnight
I discovered the works of Terry Pratchett 25 years ago, and have never stopped loving him. Not just for the laughs and the adventure, but also because of the truth and the insight he deftly wove into his stories. The world is a lesser place without his brilliance.Related content

Have you ever seen linocuts by George Malakov? They are similar in style to this your art.

Surely the ripples he caused will never completely die. I know for a fact that my kitchen drawer goddess will live long and prosper until this house falls down. This is a wonderful tribute to him.

Awesome tribute, and from a Tiffany Aching book too. I was hoping there would be a new one, but it seems as if there wont.

No, not RIP - GNU Terry Pratchett. The Internet is sort of like the Clacks and we will not let sir Terry die for the second time, we will not forget.

All of this beautiful art has come out of such a big loss. And yet... as selfish as this sounds, I'm so grateful not to be sad alone. I'm glad people out there are able to express how I feel.

I sure have to read his works.

I discovered his books probably about 20 years ago and found a (flat) world of great wit and satire but mainly fascinating characters, my favorites being Commander Sam Vimes and Moist Von Lipwig.
One of the funniest lines I have ever read came from his book 'Making Money':
'Students, eh? Love 'em or hate 'em, you're not allowed to hit 'em with a shovel.'

Well... he made deep ripples that will not dissipate while his books are loved by so many.
What a writer. And what an thought provoking image in tribute to him.
Rest In Peace. Or onwards to the next great adventure.

I started reading his book when I was 20, 7 years ago...I felt like I found a friend. And now it's the same, a friend is gone. But I'm sure his books will bring all the magic of his mind to the generations to come.

It's all true. I've never even gotten around to reading any of his books, but I can't deny the way the way he's influenced me anyway.

Wow, the author of Discworld and The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents and a whole slew of other great books died?! He was brilliant! And, wow, that's a great quote from him; I'm drawn to the last sentence "The span of someone's life is only the core of their existence". That makes me think about how one's life is not just what you experience, but the ways you touch other peoples' lives, as well. That can be haunting or inspiring, depending on how you live or treat others.

Beautifully done. To me, everyone died two times, The first when they die, the second when the last person that remember them spoke their name for the last time..

Death is not the penalty of life, merely the by-product of dying.
