Join Nat & Aly as Aly tells Nat about how haunted the Alpine Region of Europe is. Topics from today’s episode include: Glacier corpses, Devil landmarks, mountain demons, the Tatzelwurm, the Faeries of Val Gerina, and his highness, The Krampus! This episode also includes FIRST-HAND SIGHTINGS of Krampus from around the world, as told to Aly by the people who experienced them.

You can see all my previous Krampusnacht drawings here!

Pizza Party Printing has two Krampus shirts on sale for $20 each. Jimmy Giegerich’s design is in the style of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth’s Rat Fink, while Andrea Kalfas parodies Venom’s Black Metal album cover.

here’s a Krampus I made for the holiday season  

I thought it might be fun to show a bit of the process on my latest illustration, so here we have some of my initial sketches, the Jules Cheret poster I used for inspiration, my color study and the finished piece. There’s a bit more messing about that goes on in between these steps but you get the idea. >>
