Getting close to the holiday season yet again, and since business has been so very slow the past several months, I’ll be sending out another promotional postcard. The image above I worked up this week for an Xmas mailer. This is a depiction of the Austrian-Hungarian Xmas character Krampus who is said to accompany St. Nicholas on his rounds, scaring bad children with the prospect of getting whipped with birch branches and being taken away to a fiery hell (some of this survives in our modern day ‘Santa Claus’ in the form of ‘coal in the stockings of bad children’). You can click on the image above to see a larger version.
