Just a reminder that the Goat did not burn in 2019 or 2024.

The Gävle goat - a Swedish tradition of building a giant straw goat every year that has been set on fire (or pecked apart by birds) many times.
It's labelled "If you're cold she's cold - set her on fire"

The joke is that the burning is a sacrifice that ensures a good year (according to the internet). It did NOT burn in 2019, 2020, 2022, or 2024. I am just saying.

Group of illustrations featuring my goat-like Krampus design. One with him wearing small specs looking grumpily over his shoulder holding the Naughty List.

Another head shot with an unamused expression.

A full body of him wearing a red fur-lined cape, a utility belt of pouches, arm braces, and carrying a large red sack (presumably filled with coal)

A last image of Krampus grumpily saying "Someone will die", and a jolly Santa standing by him saying "of fun!" Like that Parks & Rec meme

you should buy Y0 before this btw; the Director's Cut is a markedly worse experience and isn't even done BY the director of Y0

Q+D, graphic design is my passion, etc etc

A 3x3 grid titled "What is a social media site?" It has "reach purist", "reach neutral", and "reach radical" as its columns, and it has "structure purist", "structure neutral", and "structure radical" as its rows. There are descriptors for each label.
Reach purist says, "A social media site allows users to post messages that can be seen by anyone".
Reach neutral says, "A social media site allows users to post messages that can be seen by a target audience."
Reach radical says, "A social media site allows users to post messages."
Structure purist says, "A social media site is a live service that lives on the Internet, providing feeds of posts to users."
Structure neutral says, "A social media site is accessible via a computer."
Structure radical says, "A social media site is anywhere people can send messages."

The blocks are:
Structure purist, reach purist: "Bluesky is a social media site."
Structure purist, reach neutral: "Discord is a social media site."
Structure purist, reach radical: "Nostr is a social media site."
Structure neutral, reach purist: "Craigslist is a social media site."
Structure neutral, reach neutral: "AIM was a social media site."
Structure neutral, reach radical: "A BBS is a social media site."
Structure radical, reach purist: "A skywriter is a social media site."
Structure radical, reach neutral: "The post office is a social media site."
Structure radical, reach radical: "The bathroom stall at your local dive bar is a social media site."

My credits paintings for our #HoYoFair MV 'Dawn Again' (out now on YT)! I've had the pleasure of working as director, producer, and animation lead on this! With a bit of songwriting and production on the music side too ❤️☀️👁
