More Krampus postcards from olden times

THIS JUST IN: The previous post (and this one) feature postcards from the Czech Republic. My guess is anywhen from the early '20s to the late 1930s. These scans showcase a different artist from the previous. One that pops up in a few of my older posts (like THIS ONE). I like the whimsical style in these. The Krampus seems to be depicted as a cross-dressing elf rather than a straight-up devildude.

My latest Classic Krampus cards

These have been added to my collection. I received them yesterday. I have no idea what year or the exact location. Any help is appreciated. Thanks and I hope you had a goodly day.

More to come…

Krampus on Infinite Earths

My buddy Andrew Devitt sent me this image. I love this so much. That is, if I believed in loving something that doesn't exist. Which seems par for the course this time of year.

You can see more of the artwork directly after this sentence.

The Solstice Celebration for Dilettante Pagans


This link from The New York Times was sent to me from my father-in-law. It's a Bohemian Spritz and it comes with a certain holiday demon cheer. I may try this, actually. The other drinks looked good, too but they didn't have that certain krampus-may-care flare.

If you decide to try it, please let me know what you think in the comments section. I'm intrigued.

NEW Krampus Kards NOW available!

SPOILER ALERT!! if you are a friend or family member that knows that you will be getting one of these new Krampus postcards in your mailbox - I urge you to AVOID going to my Etsy shop until a week or so. But, if you're not a friend or family member and would like to see and, more importantly, PURCHASE the NEW, limited edition, collectable and reusable Krampus postcard, I urge you to visit my Krampus Etsy shop for delirious birch-wood splinter making action.

And don't forget to be good. You know, in case.

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.

Pencil and marker.
