Illustration of Izzy Hands from Our Flag Means Death. He is holding his necktie with a relaxed but resolute expression. The style is reminiscent of art nouveau.

Izzy forgot he was messing with a master tactician. Big romantic kiss between Ed and Izzy with dramatic gold lightning. Ed is holding Izzy's face and Izzy's arms are kind of stuck out behind him like the kiss took him by surprise.

Digital color drawing of Ed Teach in a hammock above Stede Bonnet who is on a daybed, next to which Izzy Hands is sitting on the floor leaning on the edge of the bed. The light is warm and golden and all three characters look calm. Ed is just chilling, looking at his boyfriends, Stede is reading, Izzy is whittling.

Bit of admin before we go back to showcasing our artists.

The physical calendar is approximately A4 in size (8.5x11) and the day spaces will be large enough to write things in. This photo is to scale. 💚

A wildly detailed cross stitch of a grid with numbers from 1 through 100, with tentacles, a sailing ship, dragons, and flowers decorating the edges. There are several rope or rigging ladders running across it. The piece rests on a wooden background with a piece of black ribbon curled to the right side.

Digital cartoon art showing two panels. In the first, Calico Jack Rackham is saying: Y'know, I think that you'd make a perfect First Mate on my ship. In the second, Blackbeard is smugly sipping a drink, Izzy is on a counter wearing one of those spiky, anti-coyote vests people put small dogs into, and Jack is touching a spike while saying: Too bad your captain is a selfish prick.
