People are kind of wrong, Paul Kidby is no longer connected to running PJSM Prints, it is run by Sandra Kidby (ex-wife) as stated here:

Well to be fair - Sandra didn't do the artwork did she, so she can't trade on her own name as such, but I think it's a licensing thing anyway and she's still able to trade with the merchandise up to the point where they parted company I suppose.
When Paul set up the new site there wasn't any Discworld stuff on there at all at first and there's still not an awful lot, but of course it's his copyright and you'll notice that most of the Discworld stuff is from his later work, which Sandra doesn't get to stock on PJSM (like the UA stuff).
It's very sad really because Paul now seems to be disassociating himself more and more from things Discworld for things like the conventions - is good artistically I suppose for him to branch out into other things, but at least he's still the UK artist of choice for the books

Following on from UA I'm guessing the crime here is going to be something to do with the genocide (gobicide) of the goblin race and we're going to see just which leading Ankh character was behind it (how about the much-villified Lord Rust).
And in answer to the earlier post about Vetinari using a cane, that's not down to aging but his injury in Men at Arms. We know from Night Watch that he's a student at the Assasins guild when Vimes joins the Watch as a teenager so they are roughly the same age.
By-the-way, does anybody else tip Moist as the next Patrician??
