Guest Reveal 4 - Answer!

Below is the puzzle explained by the artist himself, drMikey. You can click the images to see them full sized. This is your spoiler warning in case you'd still like to solve the puzzle yourself!






























************************************************
Solution:

1. The compass IS the key. The spiral in the upper right corner with the alphabet indicates that you need to place the alphabet around the compass in a clockwise fashion, starting with east. AIQY -> E indicates that you are on the right track if you end up with AIQY on your east line. What does this mean? This code is what you need to unravel. Each pair is a direction and distance from center. So E2 = East 2 = I. SW3 = SouthWest 3 = T, Etc. You find itpointsnorthjohn.com...

2. Just a standard jigsaw puzzle here. The final result  is one of Rousseau's maps of the island.

3. A new puzzle forms. The compass can be dragged around, turning transparent when you click it. The original url appears on the bottom, followed by a code for the rest of the url, what comes after the slash. Clues appear on the left to tell you that...

 4. This puzzle uses the same key as the first one. When the compass is placed over a Dharma station, it jumps to one of the 8 primary directions and one red dot turns white on the compass needle. Using the same code... Flame = NW2 = NorthWest 2 = N. Swan = N2 = North 2 = O. Etc... you find nonotthroughthepool.These two pieces are Richard Alperts two one-line zingers. The final url is  http://itpointsnorthjohn.com/nonotthroughthepool where you will find the print of none other than Richard Alpert!
