Another very splendid Krampus illustrator is Melita 'Miss Monster' Curphy. I really love how she designs her krampus cards. Even with her modern character design style I think these could have fit in nicely in the old world. I missed out on this print because I see that it is sold out now. I hope she prints more. lots more.The Gruss vom Krampus! at the bottom means "Greetings from Krampus". Something that was commonly written on most holiday cards that depicted the krampus (also written on the old postcards was Krampuslauf, which roughly translates to "march of the krampus"). You can find more of Miss Monster's work at her website www.missmonster.com
She's got a yellow version of the card available, and is taking pre-orders until Friday. I totally missed out on the red & green cards.
ReplyDelete4 days till Krampusnacht...
Dude, I totally bought this t-shirt when it was featured on shirt.woot :-D I'd never heard of Krampus before.. gotta love the darker side of Yuletide. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI totally bought one, as well. It's rad as hell. Tomorrow is, as spiritualmonkey says, Krampusnacht! Or, as I and my ilk like to call it, Mergy Krampus! check this out: krampusnacht
ReplyDeleteHey BLDawley, she's bringing back this guy on a t-shirt this winter (I would bet on olive, since last year it was on red at shirt.woot <-- that's the one I own.) So keep checking on twitter.
