Black Pete

If yesterday was Black Friday then today is Black Pete Day here at Krampusblog.

The Netherlands have their own version of the dark side of Christmas. His name is Zwarte Piet and he's fun to draw.

Krampus Blog Revised!

Hallo, krampuslovers!!

As you may have seen, I've updated the look of the Krampus Kards blog. Now with real commerce action! Easier access to the krampus storefronts and less hassles when you want to buy that t-shirt or other printed matter. Now don't you feel special on this day-after-thanksgiving-black-friday-fiasco?

No?

Well, thank you, anyways. Also, no thank-backs.

Kreepy Krampus

Starting Black Friday I will be doing my best to update this blog with all sorts of Krampus goodness until the New Year. Keep an eye or two out for old world postcards and new drawings by your humble blogger.

Stay tuned and be good.

(also, I have just been informed that the new Birch postcards have been shipped. YES!)

Krampus season 2010 is HERE!

I have a new store for all things Krampus. Please check it out at Krampuskards.net. The Etsy store is still located at krampuskards.com which will only offer the new + improved postards which you can read about at my sketchblog (SPOIL ALERT!! for those of you who are a friend and/or family member. Proceed with caution).

I will continue to post updates at this blogspot on new old world cards that I get.

Valentine's Day Krampus 2010

I thought it would be sweet and nicey-nice to post a somewhat romantic old-timey Krampus postcard from my collection. you know, in honor of St. Valentine's Day as well as these days of wintery devotion. Nice for us. Not so nice for the young lady or her shins being seized. Now that I'm looking at this postcard I'm rethinking my entire motivation in this being neither sweet nor nice.
Ah, Krampus. You've tricked me once again. Jerk.

(If there is anyone who feels compelled to translate the text in this post, please do so in the comments section or send me an email and I'll update the post. Thank you.)

In addition to posting the NEW Krampus postkard in my Etsy shop, I have just placed the previous krampus kards (greeting cards only) on a 50% markdown for the first week in January (starting January 1st)!

You don't want the friends and families to sneeze on the matte finish. Or maybe you do, you strange human being.
