Recap, 2025. Truly I produced a prodigious amount of work [much unseen] in 2025. But while it was a banner year for art making 2025 broke my heart in so many ways I can't bear to recount them. Hoping the new year brings something better. A brighter life, even whilst darkness reigns.

Forced myself to finish Stranger Things because I'm a filthy completionist and the cherry on the crap sundae was the obvious AI generated ending credits effects.

I want to fill my house with more beautiful things, but now the beautiful things that only cost a little money now cost hella money and the rich want us surrounded by meagerness and austerity istg.

Greetings new followers! 🍂✨ Thank you so much for deciding to follow me! My name is Jo, I also go by Yugend, and I'm up on Goblin Hill! I'm an illustrator and designer from Wisconsin, specializing in fantasy art inspired by European and Japanese folklore with a rich textured midwest-gothic twist!

Actually getting on a high-horse here now- art v artist isn't all that great because 'normal' people don't celebrate a persons BD struggles, they think: "Ah, this is the face behind the art I like. Now to reevaluate that arts worth against the physical attractiveness of the artist!"

My new sona art was kind of a small protest against artvartist because I hate the idea that my face has to have anything to do with my art- because people are babies want a pretty face to spoonfeed their culture back to them instead of seeking it out for themselves.

Spotted this nasty bugger in my library the other night.

I'll occasionally make these elaborate lil trading cards for my characters! Here's one for Lemuel, a dock worker cursed to be the avatar of a fell crawling god, and my Goblin rogue Raggs who I've had forever and is a menace.

Apologies to those who may have found my last piece of fursona art a tad risqué, that is about as spicy as things will get.

A few of my personal fav pieces that I made this year!

New Year's resolution is to draw my fursona even more and draw him being even hotter. The time of inhibiting myself for industries based in capital heartless capital is over. Harper Collins can eat my whole ass.

Normally I don't make Christmas posts but I am very thankful for all the amazing friends, colleagues, and followers who've chosen to follow me this year. It's truly helped bolster my esteem for my own work, and convinced me that my Almanac project is worth working. Thank you all, new folks and old!🙏

ARTISTS ARE ESSENTIAL WORKERS. IF YOU DOUBT THAT, TRY GOING WITHOUT BOOKS, ART, MUSIC, TV, MOVIES, OR ANY OF THE THINGS THAT SHAPE HOW WE COMMUNICATE, RELAX, AND UNDERSTAND THE WORLD. ALL OF WHICH EXIST ONLY BECAUSE OF CREATIVE CRAFTSPERSONSHIP.

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

Oh hey look, I love when when an example of exactly what I was talking about in this post appears: bsky.app/profile/upon...
