“It’s Krampus Time” digital illustration by first-year student Freya Emery (IDEA Grad 2024)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from IDEA School of Design!

Here’s a digital illustration of Krampus by first-year student Freya Emery (IDEA Grad 2024). Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure in Central European / Eastern Alps folklore.

Originally, for the holidays, I wanted to create a traditional art piece using gauche. Instead, I decided to stick to my roots and play around with Adobe Photoshop using my Wacom Tablet. I found this project fun as I had the opportunity to incorporate elements from other pieces of mine into this one. Overall I’m pleased with how it turned out as Krampus is one of my favorite holiday spirits. Happy Holidays and Winter Season!
