Author of Discovering The Golden Compass: A Guide To Philip Pullman’s Dark Materials George Beahm has very kindly offered BridgetotheStars a number of signed prints of Lyra by illustrator Tim Kirk to give away to fans worldwide. You can see below a sample of the exquisite artwork. To get your hands on one of these brilliant pieces of artwork for free, simply send your name and full postal address to this address: podcast@bridgetothestars.net . We’ll be picking names out of our magical hat over the next few weeks to receive the free print.
The “Lyra in Oxford” print is by artist Tim Kirk and was originally published in George Beahm’s recently released book, DISCOVERING THE GOLDEN COMPASS, which is now available in all good bookshops.
I got mine in the mail today! Thank you so much! I love it. It’s so beautiful… much better than the jpeg.
Well, I’ve shipped out all the remaining prints–turned out that Ian Giles provided me with a list in January, which dated back to December, so I was able to get off a final batch of 20 prints.
The contest is now OFFICIALLY CLOSED, but since we have some left over, I may decide to do something with them, after I see Tim Kirk at his home in February. I will keep you apprised through this website. We may have a few, hah, SURPRISES in store for fans.
I hope to visit Tim Kirk in late February or early March, and will ask him if he’d do some original sketches of Lyra and Pan on some of the prints; if he agrees, I’ll put up the scans through this website of the art and we can have another drawing. Probably FIVE prints or so, with a little hand-coloring by Tim, as well. Please check back periodically and I’ll update everybody on the status of the new giveaway.
To my surprise, there was a tube in the mail yesterday and inside was the print.
Thanks,
Neil

Many thanks for the update George! I hope Tim will do the sketches, I’d love to see more of his beautiful work.
We may do another giveaway on the print in the near future, so please check out my website, http://www.georgebeahm.com, for more information.
I am doing a print giveaway on my new book about Indiana Jones. The print is by Tim Kirk and it’s the same size as the Lyra print–11×14 inches. I’ll be posting information on my website in the next few days.
Go Indy!
Thanks for the news!
