Sculpture artist builds giant TROLLS w/ recycled materials - hidden around the globe

Thomas Dambo, the world's leading recycle artist has been taught from a young age the value of recycling, sustainability, and unlimited imagination. Thomas' vision is to create art that inspires people to go explore, have adventures in nature, and demonstrates that trash can be turned into something beautiful, and he has done so by creating 125 wooden troll sculptures built from recycled wood pallets.

[@donnabarnett6539]

WOW! This is a fantastic video. I have been following this artist while he worked on the Seattle Trolls. I have watched your unique home videos, but I am an art lover, so this video especially appealed to me.

[@jennyfulcher8035]

Awesome sculptors with a mission to express how humans are trashing this beautiful world. So beautifully sculpted out of compostable recycled materials. I've seen the Troll at the Nordic Heritage Museum and hope to see more soon. Jenny Seattle, WA

[@lavondacarter7228]

Variety, is the spice of life, this is different, and enjoyable .

[@janicerudeen210]

[@LaughterOnWater]

This is great! Thanks for doing this Jenna!

[@elizabethrobles9934]

Absolutely fabulous. I had no idea. ❤❤❤

[@janeysiegrist5061]

I love these trolls. So fresh and innovative.. plus there are a number of them in the Seattle area.. I've got new reasons to explore. Also.. Ryan Henry Ward (a Seattle muralist) might be a good artist to showcase.

[@gemini022]

Cool

[@barbaraknuth8095]

How absolutely amazing are these!! Wow!

[@clairebarry838]

so nice

[@sunnybtheempress4417]

Wow different from the usual episodes I really like the concept of troll I would have a large plot of land I would have installed everywhere on my plot it's magnificent thank you for sharing.

[@weston.weston]

I enjoyed this so much.

[@caterwauller]

[@katrinmurnain9197]

Just Brilliant thank you xx

[@dumbwaiter3644]

Best thing I've seen today.

[@soaring1]

Awesome! Love this and there is an ancient concrete troll under the Aurora Bridge in Seattle. He's got hubcaps for eyes and is hand is on top of an old Volkswagen beetle. Worth a visit. Cheers

[@happilyamused3829]

Absolutely amazing and beautiful, reall enjoyed watching this video, you are so talented.

[@kellyhunsaker3775]

He just built Rita the Rock Planter in my county in the CO mountains.

[@Cchjjejeeuueuusdhjdddh]

❤

[@vickyabramowitz2885]

Yes. Yes, I would.

[@Chirita008]

WOW! How creative and a great way to reduce our garbage. Do you draw and plan out where each piece will go, or do you draw a base and then place the pieces as you go? On average, how long does it take to complete one? Just incredible work!! 🥰🥰

[@rgbii2]

I was so busy looking at the troll I almost missed that that was you at the Seattle one :)

[@wilmaschramm2451]

wonderful great good jop

[@DorothySteward-hx3ms]

Good job

[@cathylynnpietranton]

This is so cool👍👍❤

[@jicolourist]

Amazing

[@paulajarman9314]

Some of them are in Atlanta GA.

[@davidbaron6647]

amazing

[@splashesin8]

Fun! 😄

[@belindaroberts3090]

That's so cool

[@joanneganon7157]

I love it🎉 I lived in Londonderry VT for 23 yrs🤭. Did any one find

[@whitneybrown4067]

🔥🔥🔥👍….

[@theuglykwan]

Watch Attack on Titan and make some of those giants. They'd be such a hit.

[@GloriaBurke2011]

Do you have tiny homes ready for sale, we have to move for work in 3 weeks in Vallecito, Bayfield.

[@pixidust]

Beautiful but a wast of wood

[@liberaldisdain]

Why not make troll houses for the homeless and really help solve a problem.

[@Gaff256]

From what I see he made these trolls from wood. Wood is not a trash.

[@1957Dirogo]

Who funds this?

[@thehypocrisy]

Terrifying...megalaphobia is real

[@WesternkindArt]

I was so excited until you said humans are the invasive species.

[@Natefirethemagnets]

Why does this statement bother you? I'm far from a hippy tree hugger but it is hard to deny humans do far more damage to earth than any other species. I guess the truth hurts?

[@Imagin8io]

Would you prefer him to lie and say we humans are wonderful magical creatures that actually make the planet better?

[@oakstream6041]

Now that is cool as hell! 👍😌
