I took part
in a Kickstarter campaign for the release of the 2018 Attic Cards Inked
Nightmares Krampus set and just got the cards, perfect timing.
If you aren’t
up on your European folklore, Krampus is punisher of bad children. He travels
around punishing bad children by some severe measures like spanking, chaining
them up, eating them or tossing them in a sack. In some tales he travels with good
ole Saint Nick during the Feast of St. Nicholas. Unlike Santa and his cold milk,
Krampus is offered Schnapps so he has that going for him.
The set from
Attic Cards is made up of 9 base cards, 3 metal cards and sketch cards. There
are also printing plates and progressive proofs for parallels and 3 promo
cards. I went with one of the lower end donations, so I got the base set, 3
metal cards and a sketch card but they tossed in the 3 promo cards and 2
progression proofs so that was a nice add in bonus.
The cards have a UV coating and are highly detailed with the full sized image on a red background, it appears like a burlap sack texture but it is smooth, and the backs are a snow globe type appearance with the front image repeated in the center but a closeup.

Proofs:
Those are really nifty. Are we gonna get to see the sketch card?
ReplyDeleteI will be posting the sketch tomorrow morning
DeleteVery nice! Looks like you avoided the Krampus this year!
ReplyDeleteKinda glad my parents didn't raise me with Krampus. That guy would have given me nightmares.
