One of the main reasons he's so memorable is because Williams designed a brilliant, treasure-hunt puzzle-book in 1979 that set the stage for geocaching today, not to mention a bunch of other types of 'hidden treasure-type' puzzles.

The ultra-famous picture-book of his was called Masquerade. Indeed, I had a copy as a kid, enjoyed the pics, but didn't have the slightest clue how to solve it. Actually, the 'solving' turned in to fiasco of sorts, which you can read plenty more about online...

So let's just do a bit more of Kit Williams' art:

A delightful mashup of design, puzzle, and symbolism; that's me loving it, yes!
