They look friendly, but they aren’t. If you hang these little creatures in a child’s room, the child will have a bad night. That instantly tells us what they are: Boemannetjes—creatures that make sure children stop misbehaving or prevent them from going to certain places. Essentially, a tough form of discipline.

Boemannetjes are also known as “Kinderschrik,” which translates to “children’s fright,” a fitting name. In Iceland, it was actually made illegal in 1746 to scare children with a Kinderschrik. So the fear was real. In Austria, there’s still the Krampus, a devilish figure that accompanies Saint Nicholas. Very frightening, but the masks they make for it are spectacularly beautiful. And so are these Boemannetjes. Plus, they smile kindly. They know they are nothing more than folklore.

What makes Streetshots unique?

  • This edition () is limited to a maximum of prints. This means that no more than prints of this photo will ever be made, making them unique.
  • Additionally, the same photo can never be taken again, as the artwork captured changes daily due to weather conditions or new layers of graffiti.

With your artwork, you will receive a certificate of authenticity, which also includes the signature of the artist, Gert Willem Haasnoot, as well as the specific number of your artwork. (Photo number between 1/15 and 15/15)

By purchasing a Streetshots print, you help the neighborhood. A part of the proceeds goes to a local cultural project. In this way, graffiti not only colors the streets but also sponsors initiatives for a better and more creative community.

Shipping is free within the Netherlands, and as an introductory offer, we now provide a free installation service. This means we will come to your home and hang the artwork for you at no extra cost. (Wadden Islands incur an additional fee)

For example, if you want a square image or a narrow, tall print, you can work with the photographer to create your own custom composition.
