St. Nikolaus and the Krampus "Year of the Dead" Painting and Print



Happy Saint Nikolaus Day! In Europe they believe today's the day when Saint Nikolaus rewards good children with presents, and his pal the Krampus punishes bad children by beating them with thorny branches, putting them in a basket, and bringing them to Hell. Talk about incentive to behave! Here's my new 14" x 11" acrylic and fluorescent painting on Bristol for $350. 14" x 11" signed matte heavyweight prints are $20 with $6 s/h from now until December 31st. Contact

Welcome to Mister Reusch's "Year of the Dead"



I'm starting a large new series of paintings and prints inspired by Mexico's "Day of the Dead" celebrations. Every holiday and greeting card category I can think of is going to get the Rooshified skeleton treatment. Starting things off we've got a Santa with teeth made of red and green hard candy riding a sparkly ski-mobile covered with Christmas lights and a chrome Rudolph skull ornament. The red fir trees below are inspired by the red foil fake trees that my hometown supermarket has been putting up on their parking lot lightpoles ever since I was a kid.

The original is 14" x 11" acrylic and fluorescent paint on 2-ply Bristol, for sale @ $350 plus shipping. Same size signed art prints on matte heavyweight paper are available on my ebay seller's page:

Watch for many more new "Year of the Dead" paintings coming soon.
