#coronart day 19: Hand.

What's the one way no artist should ever draw hands? Surely it's tracing your own hand like a child would. So for me, the #coronart challenge isn't just about posting art every day, but challenging myself to do new stuff and do stuff I normally don't do much. So my first challenge was simply to not use ...

#coronart 18: Cloud.

The whole #coronart thing is living it's own life on Facebook and Instagram, so I better start figuring ways of dialling back the insane sale-pitch I've been on, internet-yelling "JOIN #CORONART" to every corner of the net. So I'll try to mix up the formula a bit. There'll still be some copy-pas...

#coronart day 14: Fantasy

As I hoped, the signs of depression I felt yesterday morning, were gone today. So the measure I took seemed to help. Yay!Carrying on!#coronart day 14: FantasyStay home, make art, support artists, join #coronartToday's art is for sale for 200$ as part of the @artistsupportpledge #artistsupportpledge as started by @m...

#coronart 13: Faraway

So first... Did I say I would post something cool for the 10$ + patrons today? Well, I meant tomorrow, or... soon.Second, I did a little art & meditation experiment before the lockdowns began, but forgot to show it to you. I want to release the video and an accompanying article pretty soon, but struggling to find the m...

#coronart day 12: Flight.

So I got something really, really cool today, that just pleased me to no end, for a project that's been so long in the "unpublished project gallery" that you might have throught it was dead. I'll be sending out a post about it to my 10$ patrons tomorrow some time.Anyhow...Coronart day 12: Flight. Stay h...

#coronart day 11: Seed.

First of all, my intuition that TikTok might be the right place for my ink monsters may have been correct. It's been between 100 and 800 views each day, and 35 new followers first week, and then suddenly yesterday my ink monster got almost 24 000 views and over 4000 likes, and I'm up to over 300 followers. That...

#coronart day 10. Global.

Today, after I post this, I'm gonna chill out, turn off my internet, and just be present. And then turn on my internet again in the evening. See how that goes. So here's today's #coronart.#coronart day 10: Global.Make art, support artists, from home!Today I'd like to give a shout out to the mighty Jens ...

Coronart day 9: Reach, with music!!!

So after I posted the timelapse with original music by Stian Søberg yesterday, the great Victor Brandt, of Dimmu Borgir and Firespawn, formerly of Entombed AD and Totalt Jävla Mörker and more, asked if he could do a piece of music as well, and what kind of metal I would like. I blurted out some different things, and...

Coronart doom!

The #coronart is rolling along, and some are even contributing music. So I made a little timelapse video with the music by Stian Søberg. Follow him at:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIYqE3juAUnNg3LBrOfPmUwInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/kevaso On another note, I'm pushing myself too hard, with homesc...

Happy Yellow Day!

So, it's one of my friends and patrons birthday today, and she asked me if I could do something yellow. And of course I could! In fact, I got so excited that I forgot I have made a keyword list for #coronart and just painted this lovely dragon spirit. And... lucky me, totally by accident, the word of the day (Which...

#coronart day 6: Together.

Loads of stuff happening. A bit too much perhaps, especially while the kids are homeschooled during the pandemic lockdowns.So quickly:- I wrote a #coronart manifesto of sorts? https://www.minds.com/denungeherrholm/blog/what-is-coronart-1086773209191645184- I made a #coronart challenge Facebook group. https://www.facebo...

I'm on TicToc???

First of all, I'm on TicToc. With all the kids. Yikes! A friend tipped me off that there's a ton of art and timelapse videos there, and that you can easily put music on your work. So it's a worthwhile experiment. And it might be a perfect place for my Daily Ink Monsters. Swiping through videoes does make me...

#coronart 04: Golden Mountain

Today's #coronart is a Golden Mountain. Join me in challenging yourself to create something new every day, share a little beauty and creativity and fun, and shine a light on all the artists and freelancers all over the world who are loosing a lot of income due to the lockdowns. Today I wanna ask you: Who's your...

#coronart 03: Sun Snake.

Here's todays Coronart! And I thought I'd write the text that I will use later on social media here, so that the work is done:Every day of the Corona-lockdown, I will try and spread a little creativity and beauty. Join me and use the #coronart hastag.Artists and freelancers over the world are struggling because...

#Coronart 02: herd.

So I'm continuing trying to spread a little beauty each day of the Corona-lockdown, by drawing a new drawing and challenging myself to not use any black. Here is day 2.I thought I'd share them first with you guys on Patreon. Last night one of you wanted to buy it, but it was already sold. So sorry about that!I...

Coronart

I'm starting a new challenge for myself, while being stuck at home with the kids waiting to ride out the corona pandemic. Every day I will post a new artwork, challenging myself to not use any black and to celebrate the beauty of the world. Due to the support from you guys and the big job I recently landed, I&#3...

I can't yet talk about the big news...

So two big stories, that I can talk about, but can't quite talk about yet.We'll start with the smallest. Me and the great Costin Chioreanu are looking to do a collaboration, him making music and me doing live painting, and we're currently pitching it to festivals. The gods- and Corona virus - be willing, an...

Studio update...

It's been a productive period, but little actual time in the studio. Today was the first studio day in a while, and I finally got back to the big mountain troll. Not too much progress, but he got a new face. Also touched some new Marefjes drawings, and am liking the direction they're heading.I'll make a p...

Freak Show!

This piece was created for the informal little contest over at the Dark Art Society Cooperative. It came in at number two, which is my third number two in a row! Oh grief! Oh Sorrow!No, honestly, I find the contest delightful, and a great way of pushing myself, and I'm very satisfied with the result so far. One day...

Jose in the studio....

I got a visit from my old friend, artist / street artist Jose Alejandro Retamal. You can find him on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jose1kunst/I know Jose from when we were small-time criminal teenagers hanging around Bergen in the late nineties, but our pasts have recently crossed again.He's going to get fea...

Update from the darkness...

Quick update .. bills paid, thank you!

Desperate times...

Despite your amazing support here on Patreon, and a general upwards trajectory in both jobs and sales, the finances for February do not add up, and it's getting critical (More on the reasons afterwards). So here's two things I'm gonna do:1. I will be opening up for 10 commissions at 100$ per commission. Thi...

Loads of new uploads...

Uploaded a bunch of random sketches, and the last 39 days of Daily Ink Monsters from www.instagram.com/daily_ink_monster10$ + Patrons may go see everything in the pre-release gallery: https://denungeherrholm.smugmug.com/Patreon/Pre-release/Password the same as earlier.

Update...

Just a stort update. Finished a little Nosferatu drawing commissioned by a musician for his project. Have a few things in the air. Also starting a new project about the Sumerian goddess Inanna, which should be cool, but might take long. I don't want to beat a dead horse, but also a little update on this depressive...

Postcard landscapes...

During the last year I've done a bunch of postcard sized landscapes, some done en plein air, some done from photos. Some are already sold, but the ones I didn't sell I've finally scanned and uploaded to the pre-release gallery. 10$+ patrons can find these and more there: https://denungeherrholm.smugmug.com/...

Exhibition submissions...

Gonna submit these three to an open call exhibition tomorrow. Two of them I think I showed last month when I submitted them to another exhibition, where I didn't get in. The last one is new of today. But fingers crossed....Also uploaded them to the pre-release. Password same as the one sent out earlier to the 10+...
