Looking through Kram puppy stuff totally unconnected to him turning TWO this weekend and this video is killing me

Kram sees a mirror for the first time

So like.....what exactly is Krampus? Is he a demon or a cursed guy or something else?

He's a percht (plural: perchten), which I classify as a fae in my mythos! He's a child of the goddess Frau Perchta. Many of his kin take wooly goat-like forms with large horns, but some, like the schnabelperchten, take other stranger forms.

The perchten serve Frau Perchta in the Wild Hunt, and delight in terrifying and punishing naughty children. Krampus is unique among them - he is shadowbound and married to Nicholas.

Apparently I'm supposed to root for The Rock and not the delicious horned man with chains that could absolutely wreck me.

The world is a messed up place. 😩

My village had our Perchtenlauf today ❤️ This is my favorite winter tradition.

This tradition predates Christianity in the Alps; it’s something that’s been passed down from our pagan ancestors. Village men dress like Perchten (these goat-like creatures) and parade around to chase away the evil spirits as winter approaches. And they use their dried branches to hit viewers which makes it all the more exciting!

*sitcom theme song* *riotous applause* It's Mari Lwyd!! Been a while since I've drawn her and 'tis the season! I wanted to draw a more fleshed out Jocul Caprei dancer and Krampus but I ran out of time, so these doodles will have to do (and theres always the future!)

Hope everyone has a nice Christmas, and if you don't celebrate Christmas I hope the rest of the year is a pleasant and peaceful one. See you guys in 2024 <3

Just a friendly reminder that if you see my often used Krampus design in the wild uncredited to please be super chill when calling it out! It is usually a case of people thinking it is a vintage copyright free clip art piece and being kind about it helps me have a more successful, pleasant encounter. I modeled this illustration to look like an old Gruss Vom Krampus postcard and I guess it is a little too successful.

Now I don't want to make an excuse for the folks tracing the piece without acknowledging the source but a lot of non artists slap it on stuff and are most likely under the impression it is not a modern illustration. It’s been around since 2009 and used to be a source of anxiety seeing it used so much around this time of year but it's something I have made peace with ( also I'm just very tired lol) Looking back, most people who did accidentally use it ended up being decent and pleasant to deal with so that's pretty cool....

I’m glad that it’s seemed to have have a lot of influence on Krampus depictions and has sort of snuck into being accepted as this authentic antique artwork. It would be nice to see my name attached to all of the posts that use him but much like many other online artists, sometimes a dumb thing you made just gets out from under you and fighting it is like fighting the sea. A sea of clippty cloppity, long tongued naughty goat men! Anyway if you want me to get paid for this illustration you can buy the shirt here: https://shirt.woot.com/offers/greetings-from-krampus
