Fans of late fantasy writer Terry Pratchett have taken to the streets of London and Bristol to create some appropriately colourful artworks in tribute.

Bold graffiti featuring both the author’s face and characters from his Discworld series has popped up in the capital’s Brick Lane, while a further display can be found in Stokes Croft in the South West city.

The London mural depicts Josh Kirby’s book sleeves for popular Pratchett books Reaper Man and Death, with the likes of wizard Rincewind and Death himself seen on the walls of the Pillow Cinema.

Pratchett was a passionate advocate for assisted suicide and a vocal supporter of the right to die campaign. He will be remembered for his wise words about a range of issues, including his thoughts on graffiti:

“You ignore graffiti at your peril. It’s the heartbeat of a city. It’s the voice of the voiceless.”
