yours are basically what i doodle in high school except yours are 1000x better. eyes, teeth, scary and menacing, things like that. Always draws me in.

Just found your videos today and I’m mesmerized by them. The art and your quixotic narration. Fantastic!

[@moniquebish]

U r amazing....🏆👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Your brush resonates a soul comforting song of clarity. I see oceans, clouds, mountains, caves, rivers, and forests within this painting on a horizontal plane. There are no words to describe the emotion you enabled me to experience and for that, I not only thank you, but I will proudly support you when I am able.

[@marcusrowan7212]

honestly ive been loving seeing your work. its unlike anything I've seen. your take on mythological creatures and how you seem to "bring them into being".

Thank you for showing me Arne Anka, I would have never discovered it otherwise. I don't understand a single word, but the art style is great.

[@hobosorcerer]

Your self-criticism & humble attitude towards your own work really surprises me, because throughout all the points where you go "oh I know I'll have to go back & fix some of these with black ink" I'm just thinking "It looks quite fine as it is." Then you add the actual black ink corrections & I see what you mean :D you never cease to amaze me.

[@TheGermanFabian]

The comments centered around the "domesticated troll" were really insightful and are part of the reason why watching you is so much fun. Awesome video, once again. :) Hoping to attend one one of those festivals once I find some free time from my surprisingly busy university life.

Tons of Rock sounds huge Kim and so much fun for you ❤ I really enjoyed thos drawing as you explained your use of acrylic 💕

[@soanalaichnam344]

I love your process. Drawing in the way you are used to first, to get a reference is something I never thought about and it looks like it really helps, I will try it out myself, when I draw black on white again :)

[@joshuadavis5568]

Dude you are one of my idols. I fight with anxiety and depression and I love art. I connect with you on a spiritual level and love it! You're one of the reasons I branched my art out. The wendigo I drew for my profile picture was inspired by you and your philosophy of letting canvas speak to you

[@misterdank941]

It's a great drawing! This man has also inspired me to work outside my comfort zone. 🙌

[@ryuujitakasu4602]

As someone who loves trolls. This is super cool! Even if I hated trolls this is super cool!

[@simondancaster8334]

As always, highly informative and entertaining to see you create, mate! 😊 The counter-intuitive approach is a great way to evolve one’s art. Good point on tree lines. Timber is hard 😁 See you at Tons of Rock. I once drew a negative self-portrait. But it was crap 😉

[@calsannepotgieter4200]

Awesome! I liked learning a bit about your process and the extra preparation you did before your drawing. ❤❤

[@colin-me]

Dude I love the moment when I finally saw the same troll as the artist. First I saw a different troll in the splatter and then I thought they were drawing at least two different trolls and then Boom! I saw the face he was making

[@GorblinRat]

Amazing

[@limpusshrimpus9810]

Much love

[@doncoyote68]

A distant tree line wasn't a good idea from the start - the troll seems shrouded in darkness and very close - if the right side was kept darker and the distant trees were replaced by branches coming in from the sides you could have maintained a close by, shrouded feel. As if the troll was in front of you in a dark forest, with a torch or some moonlight illuminating the paintings left side. It looked very fun to paint.

[@danzashadow]

i love your art . :)

[@spikespiegel7458]

Thank you. Deep thanks. For sharing your art. From a Colombian living in Argentina, touring Spain. Not about me. It is meant to be a statement of your Art's reach. It soothes, helps heal and reveals solace. Again, thank you

I am constantly amazed with your artwork. I also love the troll history lessons we get! And you’re an anarchist!!!! I love it! You’re awesome, comrade!

[@remcovanhartevelt588]

What I love about these longer videos is that I personally is that the slower process chages my perspective. Like at 6:41 you start spattering ink around the troll, and it starts to breath more.

[@IlvaraMyrtle]

I really like the videos.

[@sagewright3614]

Your art reminds me a lot of Stephen Gammell. At the same time, I love how your work takes its own shape and your own unique style and techniques. I loved your video on Cthulhu as H.P. Lovecraft is a favorite author of mine. I would love to see your ideas on some of the different Night Gaunts and such from his stories. Honestly, I feel much of his work has this grandiose unfathomability or idk other worldliness that leaves a lot up to the imagination. I personally really enjoy this and would love to see your interpretations. You're so talented and I love all the information you give in your videos! Thank you for all your hard work!

It totally boggles my mind how your brush moves across the page and behind it there is somehow art on the paper. Wonderful stuff.

[@Basuko_Smoker]

Such a good artist and commentator

[@Mocking_bird]

Great art style ❤

[@soanalaichnam344]

I was on the Ghost Konzert here in Germany, it was great :)

[@TSIRKLAND]

Thinking in terms of highlight- white on black- rather than in terms of shadow- black on white- is definitely such a different mindset. Obviously, you are a man of great talent, great skill, with plenty of practice behind your technique. Hearing that even accomplished artists struggle, when trying something outside their usual wheelhouse, is comforting. I also enjoy working light on dark sometimes, even though dark on light is more common. I quite enjoy the difference. I find it can actually help enhance my understanding of "normal" drawing: remembering where the highlights should be, when filling in the shadows, can be immensely useful to keep in mind. Always a balance, between light and dark. I've fairly recently been playing around with painting with bleach on black t-shirts. That's a light-on-dark method. It's extra challenging, because the bleach takes a little while to fully activate, so it's like painting in *super* slow motion. You can never quite tell exactly how a brush stroke has gone, until it "develops" several seconds later. And then continues to lighten over time, or maybe does not lighten as much as you thought it would. It's a challenging medium, but it's been fun to play with. Great drawing, as usual! I bet this guy would look PHENOMENAL as a bleached t-shirt!! With your fair use permission, I may just try it, and see how it turns out!

maniacal is man-eye-a-kull, one of those tricky english words

[@algrant5293]

I like the idea that trolls are part of the landscape and are always there, waiting. Have you seen the film Troll hunter? All the trolls were elemental, as if Norway was held together by trolls. Wonderful movie. I know drawing negatively can look odd but this is perfect, caught in the light of a full moon ❤

[@Seiffer55]

I just want to say that I genuinely appreciate your art and your openness with your mental health. You've quickly become one of my favorite artists and you helped me come to terms with my being bi. I appreciate you sharing your story and your art. Thank you, genuinely.

Apologies for my attempts at phonetic spelling here lmao. As an English speaking American, how you started to say "maniacal" sounds like the way I usually hear "maniac" pronounced, as MAY-nee-ack. Which you'd think would be the basis for how something related would be pronounced, but no, English isn't logical, hah. I usually hear "maniacal" pronounced like "muh-NAI-ah-cal".

Soon Oslo Pride is upon us! Can you make "kink monsters" for the occasion?

[@DenUngeHerrHolm]

Explain the reason? I'm not sure I get it?

[@TheMerov]

@@DenUngeHerrHolm Primarily it is a nice pun on «Ink monster». Secondly many people believe kink does not have a place at pride, but kink does have a place there. It has been a part of the celebrations in Oslo since 1990 and is an important «seksuell orientering» or sexual identity for a lot of people that people often hide from the people they love. Many kinksters feel shame about their kink. In addition some conservative people claim BDSM-ers are monsters or have experienced abuse and that is why we are that way. That however has been disproved in the 1980s, but the myth and stereotypes from early psychiatry is still there. So there are loads of monsters to take from.
