 New print design by James G. Mundie: GRUSS vom KRAMPUS While creating a label for a special Krampus-themed ale of my own concoction, I decided to also use the design for paper lanterns to be displayed in my home on Krampusnacht itself (December 6th) but also during the first annual Krampuslauf Philadelphia on 10 December 2011. In the meantime, reaction to the design was so overwhelmingly enthusiastic that I decided to make prints available, too. For those unfamiliar with Krampus, he is a goat-like horned devil with a long red tongue traditionally associated with St. Nicholas — however, this kinky Germanic yuletide spirit's folkore tradition actually predates the Christian era. The people of Europe's alpine regions had been marking the annual arrival of Krampus for many centuries before the concept of Christmas came along, and well before a certain former bishop of Turkey stole the spotlight. Traditionally, Krampus serves to punish naughty children by whipping them with switches or tossing them in icy rivers. Like Black Peter, Krampus is the “bad cop” to St. Nick's “good cop”. This large print is perfect for the naughty child on your holiday list. Season's beatings! You may now purchase one or more for your very own through PayPal, or contact us to make other arrangements. For a limited time, shipping for these prints is only $1! |
