I was invited to make art for a game in the works called Santa Corp, a North Pole warehouse simulator.

A cartoon illustration of Mr. and Mrs. Claus eating a cooked elf at their dinner table while other elves watch horrified from outside the window. Caption reads "It was a tradition they eventually grew to see as both barbaric and counterproductive, but in the early days the Clauses started each New Year by cooking the lowest performing elf in the Toy Shop."

Here at Twelfth Night, my Yuletide Adventure draws to a close! I discover the villain behind our miseries, & return to the North Pole for a final bit of Christmastide joy. For the full story, head to the Scriptorium, & HAPPY TWELFTH NIGHT🎅🎄🧙‍♂️

#Christmas #anarchist #art #SantaClaus #TwelfthNight #CIA

The red wizard descends into the strange facility at the Other Pole; he holds his wand aloft, aflame, in the icy dungeon. Behind him, a door leading back the way he came; above it, encrusted in ice, a large seal of the C.I.A., with "OPERATION SCROOGE" along the bottom. Next to it, three old clocks, fallen to ruin, labelled "JAKARTA," "NORTH POLE," & "TEHRAN," though the label for "TEHRAN" long ago fell to the floor.

In the center of the room, the mummified corpse of Allen Dulles, complete with pipe & bowtie, sits entombed in a crag of ice. In front of him, two reindwarrow guard his corpse. Finally, in front of them, sits an ancient anvil, upon which sits a second Kringle-stone, displaying the photograph of Noam Chomsky embracing Steve Bannon.

In a room at Santa's Workshop, the red wizard makes hot cocoa cheers with Santa Claus. A barrel of "SANTA'S OWN COCOA" sits nearby. On a table are a skull with a bow, & a store-bought panettone. A white dove with an olive branch lands on a golden cage, hung from the ceiling. A snowy forest is visible through a window.

On top of the picture, I wrote in futhorc runes, "WES ᚦU HAL!," or "wassail!" Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, & WASSAIL!
