Chrimbo cards, 2023

More festive filth.

It’s been one hell of a busy year and at one point I did think I might not get any cards made. Happy to say I did though and here they are.

1. The Christmas Inquisition

A medieval style drawing of Santa laughing heartedly, surrounded by scenes of sheer brutality as elves torture people in various gruesome manners

Imagine Santa holding court in the style of a religious fanatic. I did, and here’s what I thought it might look like. Charming, I’m sure you’ll agree.

2. Chrimbo Crew vs The Puritans

A defiant Santa stands clutching an oversized candy cane as a weapon

Santa has assembled a formidable bunch of rogues to fight the evil forces of The Puritans whose agenda of oppression even includes the banning of Christmas. Not on this crew’s watch!

3. The greatest gift is your soul

A 'black metal' album cover-style portrayal of a horned Santa with long pointy fingers holding a screaming ghostly face

The annual tradition continues of creating at least one ‘black metal’ album cover-style design. Here the wintry Santa demon devours some sweet, sweet soul food.

4. Flesh be damned, gift in hands

A grisly sequence of three pictures

There’s no time to lose in making sure these gifts reach their intended recipients. Nothing shall slow Santa down. Not clothing. Not even his own flesh.

5. Santa’s hats

Six pictures depicting Santa's search for the perfect hat

Aaaaw! Nice. The other annual tradition of creating at least one design which is unlikely to give children nightmares or give them cause to ask a grown-up awkward questions. It’s perfectly simple; Santa needs a hat, but which one?

Inside (family friendly version)

Santa's fingertip has a bogey on it

Ergh! Santa’s got a booger on his finger and he’s wiped it on some letters!

Inside (horror version)

Santa is horribly twisted and contorted as blood explodes from his head

Either Santa has an evil entity bursting from within or he’s having one hell of a migraine. It is whatever you want it to be really.

Merry Chrimbo to you and a Happy New Year!
