yak shaving

Done in the style of Despair Inc., here is a yak shaving poster I designed. Shaving the yak was a technical term coined at MIT refering to: "Any seemingly pointless activity which is actually necessary to solve a problem which solves a problem which, several levels of recursion later, solves the real problem you're working".

I must say this is one of the best inspiration posters I have seen in some time.

Although
The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen always needs a clean yak it is in the regulations.

I love this poster!!! This would totally be on the wall of my cube at work if the yak image were less pixelated in the largest size.
