Update from a hike...

I took my first vacation in a long while, completely in glorious isolation for 5 days. Here's an update from the trip.

Friday update...

Also including this cover art I just did for Karsk Gutan. This is the third time I do cover art for them, so check out if you want to hear some humoristic Norwegian hobbyist country/folk. 2020-11-13 05:38:11 +0000 UTC View Post

RPG update, on a Friday!

So no video update today, but this one instead. I've only been working on the huge tabletop RPG project, so I thought it'd be cool to show you how far I've come thus far. 

So here's all ...

Friday update

Here's a quick update, mostly about being overworked an missing a few updates.

Friday update on a Saturday...

Did I make and upload the Friday update yesterday? Yes, I did.

Did I forget to post about it to you all? Yes, I did.

Friday Update on a Monday...

Things got a little out of hand with #inktober starting and everything, so I forgot the update. 

Also, first few #inktober shots up in the pre-release gallery, for all you 10$+ patrons, ...

Inktober/October plans...

So everything is late as per usual, but here's the plan for #inktober, and for the Daily Ink Monsters all through October. You guys get a little preview a few hours before the rest. 

For...

The Rape of Persephone...

The art for this weeks podcast is up, and it is of Hades kidnapping Persephone, alternatively Pluto kidnapping Proserpina, if you're more of the Roman inclination. I really wanna do more with that ...

Episode 2 of the podcast is up!

This time I try to give an extensive overview of how to start at art, for beginners and masters alike.

Hope you like it.

Friday update!

Wow! Such a great preview image on that video! :D

Anyhow, short Friday update. Also, new ink monsters in the pre-release gallery for 10$ + patrons. Will be released to the public in a few day...

Video podcast up!

So... yesterday's news about me starting a video podcast? Now the video is up on YouTube!

The Free Art Show podcast?

Stupid is as stupid does... so as a reaction to being overworked and not knowing what to do, I've decided to start a video podcast. Ummmhhh... yes, that makes sense. 

Have a sneak listen...

Friday update 2! Ummm... in portrait mode.

So first of all... I've scanned the 330 first ink monsters, and the 93 latest of them are now resting in the pre-release gallery for a couple of days.

Friday update #1

In order to keep you guys up to date, I'm committing to doing weekly videos from the studio(now, my cellar), going over some of last week's work. This weeks was very impromptu, but hope you like t...

Solstafir "Drysill" video.

So just a quick post... The second video I've been working on, again with Dave Hall, but this time directed by me and fully animated... is out! 

I won't post much now, because...

A tease and some news...

First of all a little tease... I can't say that band, or what, or anything, but I can say that you will see more of this image on the 28th. It's one of the projects I've been teasing for a while. K...

Some TikTok art...

Just a quick post... I've done some random art on TikTok livestream, and here it is for all of you to see. Also, it's uploaded to the pre-release gallery for you 10$+ patrons.

I'm ...

Bastard Sons of Buddha and more...

Quick update on everything. Working on a secret album cover for a tiny new band/project, where I'll most likely won't even be credited. So this is a secret inside glimpse just for you. It's fun! 2020-06-30 07:54:28 +0000 UTC View Post

#coronart 57: Instinct

Did you think my #coronart effort was dead? Oh no, just sleeping. And I guess it kinds of relates to the keyword for this piece. 

I did this piece at the tail end of May. That's over thr...

Metal Cruise poster...

Quick post... just to not forget again... life going well, but hectic... Today I finished a poster for a Metal Cruise, to be revealed soon. Here is the finished art, before it's scanned.

Portrait Artist of the Week....

So I did it! I used the #mypaotw hashtag and entered my portrait of Noel Fielding into the Portrait Artist of the Week contest.
I'm definitely not a portrait artist, and I knew that going in. I...

Cthulhu and more...

A bunch of small stuff.

I did the Dark Art Society monthly challenge again, painted another Cthulhu, and came in... second place! My sixth consecutive second place! 😂
(Very happy with...

Nyarlathotep...

I've been teasing this a long time, but finally it's getting somewhere. It's still unreleased and SECRET so SHHHH!!! Don't tell anyone. 

Many years ago I did a 24 hour comic book night, ...

Have I left you for TikTok?

Ummm.... Almost. Life has been heavy, but I am trying to refocus, and will be posting two updates tonight, one for 1$ Patreons and one for 10$ Patreons. Both on the same project. Just wanted to g...

Artist mentorship.

Sorry for the sudden lack of updates. The corona-lockdown was over for me last week, with kids back in school/kindergarten, so I decided to take a little break. The break was... harder that initial...

#coronart day 54: Even.

As above, so below. For some people the whole focus on darkness in art seems strange, like an unhealthy obsession. But it's not about obsessing over darkness.
Whether it's my natural inclinatio...

#coronart day 53: Borrow

As my renown as an artist grows, ever so slowly, it's tempting for an ego like mine to listen to the praise and believe my own hype. One of my major dysfunctions is that I believed myself a master ...

#coronart day 52: Main

So moving on, what is my main thing? Is it the ink? Is it the brush? Is it the concert art? Is it dark art? Is it variety? Is it self expression? Is it free art?
Thinking long and hard about it...

#coronart day 50: Loop.

The best thing about the lockdowns? A lot of people have lived their adult lives like being led around a circle. I know I have had periods where I couldn't see past the daily grind. But now, on an ...

#coronart day 49: Beyond

Despite all the things we gain with age, it's a sad thing to loose the unfiltered connection with our fantasy. By nature I'm a dreamer, and by vocation I have to train to keep my ability to fantas...
