This Pin-Ups For Puerto Rico piece is a very special one. And to me a very important one.

On December 27th 2016, the world lost Carrie Fisher. In a few days it will be a year since that loss, and honestly I am still mourning her. 

Carrie taught me to be strong and to sneer and laugh in the faces of those who may try to discourage me. Her sardonic wit and big heart lifted me up and carried me through some awful times.

Awful times are here again and she’s gone. But not forgotten. As I was thinking of the next set of prints to put up for vote, I really hoped that Leia would win. I really hoped that Carrie would win. Because I look at what’s going on in the world right now and all I can think is ‘Carrie wouldn’t stand for this.’

In light of that, not only will the money from this print be going to Puerto Rico, but also to Planned Parenthood, The International Bipolar Foundation and Stonewall.

This piece was lovingly and beautifully put together by @gorlassar A wonderful artist who i just knew would be able to do Carrie Fisher justice. And I was right.

This print, as said, is a very special one, so it will be available until the 15th of January. Please note that is also the day they’ll be sent to be printed.

As promised, here is the full version of the Carrie Fisher tribute by @gorlassar

There’s still some time left, so if you want to pre-order your book or grab yourself a limited edition tea or maybe you just want one of these lovely prints that you’ll never be able to get again... 

Bucky Barnes drawn by @gorlassar Black Widow drawn by @asillu and Steve Rogers drawn by @lydiabutz for the Beastly Art Book ‘Tea~se’ 

This tea-tilating title will showcase the work of thirteen fantastic artists from fandom and fantasy, working with Beastly Beverages to put together a stunning sixty-five page, full colour pin-up book for your tea-time delectation.  Fun, fancy, and a little bit saucy, Tea~se is a tongue-in-cheek take on ‘naughty’ advertising, with rose petals and strategically-placed teapots upon some of fandom’s favourite characters.

Tea~se will feature characters inspired by film, games and comics - a full list is hosted on Beastly Patreon here.

"Am I not with hosts making a din?

I would not cease, between two hosts, without gore.

Am I not he that is called Gorlassar?

My belt was a rainbow to my foe.

Am I not a prince, in darkness,

(To him) that takes my appearance with my two chief baskets?

Am I not, like Cawyl, ploughing?

I would not cease without gore between two hosts.

Is it not I that will defend my sanctuary?

In separating with the friends of wrath.

Have I not been accustomed to blood about the wrathful,

A sword-stroke daring against the sons of Cawrnur?

Have I not shared my cause.

A ninth portion in the prowess of Arthur?

Is it not I that have destroyed a hundred Caers?

Is it not I that slew a hundred governors?

Is it not I that have given a hundred veils?

Is it not I that cut off a hundred heads?

Is it not I that gave to Henpen

The tremendous sword of the enchanted?

Is it not I that performed the rights of purification,

When Hayarndor went to the top of the mountain?

I was bereaved to my sorrow. My confidence was commensurate.

There was not a world were it not for my progeny.

I am a bard to be praised. The unskilful

May he be possessed by the ravens and eagle and bird of wrath.

Avagddu came to him with his equal,

When the bands of four men feed between two plains.

Abiding in heaven was he, my desire,

Against the eagle, against the fear of the unskilful.

I am a bard, and I am a harper,

I am a piper, and I am a crowder.

Of seven score musicians the very great

Enchanter. There was of the enamelled honour the privilege,

Hu of the expanded wings.

Thy son, thy barded proclamation, Thy steward, of a gifted father.

My tongue to recite my death-song.

If of stone-work the opposing wall of the world.

May the countenance of Prydain be bright for my guidance,
