Krampus

Happy Holidays! Krampus is here to give the boys and girls their Gifts

The lore of Krampus originates with the Germanic peoples of Europe and stretches back to pre-Christian times. However, as Christianity took over Europe, Krampus was turned as a kind of counter balance to St. Nicholas. While good ol' St. Nick was going around rewarding good little boys and girls with gifts, Krampus was out there beating the hell out of the bad ones! If you were an especially rotten little boy or girl, Krampus would actually KIDNAP you and carry you away in his sack to his lair!

He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake.

In German-speaking Alpine folklore, Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure who punishes children during the Christmas season who have misbehaved, in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards well-behaved ones with gifts.

What I love about the Celtic style is that it conveys a sense of mystery. Like the artwork depicts something ancient and lost to time and history. That's why I think the Krampus is a perfect character to be portrayed in a Celtic style. The history of Krampus, as with most folklore, is shrouded in a past that isn't totally clear, and yet, it's presence continues to be known into contemporary times. This version, to me, looks kind of like a Tarot card. It's more simplistic and two-dimensional, but it's meaning implies centuries of history and hidden meaning.
