 okay I think we are live hello everyone hello hello let's see here if everything looks okay is the audio okay no hmm yes now I can see everything okay how does this look okay let us see if we've got this all set up correctly oh thank you leafy for sending a super chat and please do send super chat I'm just in the business almost of trying to whoop whoop whoop whoop trying out a new set up for the chat no not for the chat for the stream so I don't know how everything is working hopefully we will get through this I thought I would be well prepared this time but I've been messing around with the volume and trying to get everything to work and so I don't know quite what where what who I am anymore and I'm not as prepared as I had hoped okay so first of all thank you all for joining me audio is good great to hear my name is Kim Diaz Holm I'm an artist I make art for free use that means anything you see me draw during this live I will be putting up on my website for free use so you can download it and you can use it even commercially I use a creative comments attribution license so so you can use it however you want as long as you cite me as the artist now for these draw what streams I the idea is to ask you guys what you want me to draw but also ask in a poll so that I can prepare something some of the requests do take more preparation unfortunately on this week's poll I included the request for a baguette spider yes you heard that right it was a baguette spider I don't know what more to say because of course the baguette spider won the poll so that will be the drawing we start with today and it's everything is a little bit cramped now even mr. dragon here almost can't find a spot in you can be here mr. dragon mmm spaghetti spaghetti okay baguette spider so I thought I wouldn't have to prepare with a baguette spider but now I'm drawing a blank let's just start with this color seems okay and I need my tissues this is a slightly baguette-ish color right okay I've seen less spaghetti scholars spaghetti scholars spaghetti colors spaghetti spaghetti I these words confuse me so let's let's continue this thing a little bit here like this a little bit up here honestly your process is so fascinating just as interesting as the art itself thank you I do hope the art is more interesting than the process but you know in a lot of these pieces yes how could it be how could it be because the art is made in just a few minutes and there's limited chance to put all that much thought into it but hopefully for my bigger works hopefully there is a lot or at least a bit more interest in the painting than the process yeah but I appreciate the compliment I really do okay looking good so far now if you like my art and if you like these lives I will be trying to you know expand them and do them better and better and better all year and today is the first time with the new setup I don't know if the camera is in the good position it's but but I thought this setup would be perhaps a little bit better than the more regular type gaming setup that most people seem to use on their live streams hopefully you like the new setup and we will be improving on that you know even later this week when we do the sunday study stream the how draw stream and um yeah I'm excited to finally I'm excited to finally start taking the youtube thing a lot more seriously than I have before not that I didn't take it seriously the past few years or at least the past year but to really go all in and learn all this this stuff have you ever knocked that pot of ink over yes I am a messy messy artist and I knock things over all the time and I've messed up so many drawings because of knocking things over okay what kind of ink do you use it is just a regular indian ink um the brand I use is called talents I use talents from Amsterdam it's a good ink it's very hard to find bad indian ink you do find it but usually it's all good it's all good so if you go to a art store and buy indian ink either you get some good ink or you get some ink you don't like because you might not like all the ink types yes so to this week's poll had a couple of different options so we had the option of leviathan of um um cobalt of a tengu and of the baguette spider and of course um of course the baguette spider one but the leviathan came really close so I thought maybe I'd mix in a little cityscape and make it a this camera isn't quite well placed maybe it'll be better now team leviathan yeah so I thought I'd draw in a little skyline here and the spider is the baguette spider is crushing it because it is huge so then it's sort of a baguette spider leviathan what inspired you to include the baguette spider so every every um option on the poll was taken from your requests I didn't sit down and say yeah I'll include a baguette spider it was your request your to blame it's a french city yes but I will not draw uh the verset because it's easier just to do some generic skyscrapers and make it look like a city of sorts of sorts what's the favorite my favorite thing I've ever created my kids I see for the next time I'm streaming I will probably place the camera somewhere else because now you're just watching me staring down and we could do we could do better it's a learning experience do anyone have any topics or questions that I can dive into while I'm drawing what pronouns do I use he him they everything is fine don't much care thank you for uh another super chat leafy I have a one-eyed cat what would you name it um one see no um what would I name it I know I think we should ask the chat what what would you name a one-eyed cat um thank you for all that you share thank you and yeah remember that that all the art is available for free use that's the point of art so that you can use it and you can use it commercially you can use it personally you can use it however you want are there any Norwegian full or glory creatures that part you to particularly the particularly resonate with um asking because I'm Norwegian and because I've always looked like Kittlesons version of nook and yeah are there any I resonate with I mean I do feel hmm that's a good question um hmm I would probably uh I I I've probably this isn't quite Norwegian folklore but but it's a Swedish movie reference um but I've always uh felt a little bit like those small guys in Ronja Röver dotted who go around saying oh for order oh for order oh for you and put it to visit that's uh that's my life uh would I ever consider making a comic I have I used to be a comic book writer in a past life not writer but writer as well comic book creator in a past life and then I quit or I didn't quit I failed and became an artist and now I'm suddenly become an influencer which is very weird australian grand for the win certainly certainly okay okay so that's how I feel okay um yeah I was really in the beginning of this dream I was trying to get to the point where I would plug my stuff because if you want more lives like this and better videos and if you want more art for free use and if you have money to spare then please consider supporting by giving a super chat influencers I like that or by becoming a youtube channel member and I'm unlocking more and more perks for that or by supporting on Patreon or by going to den ungeherholm.com and buying my art or merch or stuff like that so um because this is how I make my living and I want to be able to continue making my living making free art making art that everyone can use and um you know I do have a lot of offers once in a while for to make art that someone else would pay for the rights for and and I do that occasionally but I would like very much to be in a position where I can expand this thing we're doing here uh where I can make the art that I want and that you want and do the things that I love and spread free art spread the good word I bought your solidarity painting from you last year it's on my wall now and it looks amazing thank you and it didn't take as long as I thought it would to get to Colorado from there excellent that is so good to hear um your voice is so calming thank you making art with a live chat is some of my favorite always it is always a bit unhinged yeah and that is a spider baguette so the Norwegian message or comment said ask if it's a cheesy with cheesy poof cheesy i what are those called in english uh who's my favorite rock or metal music artist uh judas priest were the ones who got me into into metal and music and they're still my favorite band and I'm so looking forward to tons of rock and I'm hoping that I get a chance to draw the mighty judas priest cheese puffs yes cheese puffs thank you for another super chat leafy and it is possible yeah it's so appreciated when anyone gives a super chat um do you know the band rammstein of course uh I know their music I mean I don't know them personally but yes they are huge and I like them cheetos yes thank you they are is a myth of a man that smoked with the devil there are that there are there is there is a myth of a man that smoked with the devil till the devil fell unconscious and that is where clout the clouds on table mountain came from you rock where is table mountain uh have I uh ever done a drawing of satin rose I've done things uh inspired by that but but I I need to research Celtic mythology more you listen to mother mother I don't know what mother mother is I know the dancing song mother tell you children not to walk my way this spider baguette is taking a lot longer than I had planned because of those damned skyscrapers I see you on youtube shorts does that mean you are also on tiktok yes tiktok was where I got my first taste of that tiktok fame and it's still the platform where I have the most followers but for a lot of us that got big on tiktok early uh it stopped working unless you you know buy into their whole paid thing and yeah and I expect the same will happen with youtube as well but I think that that you know going towards making more long form content and more permanent content is probably the best way for me forward I think so that's the focus right now mother mother is like angry emo cowboy music never never heard them but I might check them out I haven't heard the wrecks either table mountain is in Cape Town South Africa yeah I've actually heard of that now that you I think I've heard of that maybe I'm just imagining things I think long form content will come back as it used to be it is really popular still but but but all the platforms are pushing short form content for obvious reasons I love that you have free royalties on a lot of your art uh not a lot of it all my art that I own myself is available for as you call it royalty free but but it's really for for free use I use a creative comments attribution like attribution license so so all you need to do is attribute me say who did the art and I think all art should be like that I think art is communication art is in essence speech and we know why it's wrong to censor speech yet we still think copyright is okay it's not do you consider yourself to be a socialist yes definitely solidarity but I am an anarchist so that means that I am not a state loving socialist I think that in practical terms to in the world today I would rather live in a welfare state a social democratic state like Norway than most other places but I don't think there is any long-term future in social democracy because it's we're seeing it turn to a more and more a more and more split society right now because of how capitalism works I definitely agree that art is communication I would argue it's more direct communication than anything else maybe in a way yeah I can see that words are difficult and you know art is as well what's your opinion on hamburgers I like food people from Hamburg ah no I have nothing against people from Hamburg or hamburgers oh on the subject of copyright have you drawn steamboat willy mickey now not yet I need I definitely need to do something on on that because it's extremely interesting that mickey finally has gone to the public domain but of course disney being disney who knows they probably knew very well what they were doing when they made it public domain so so but yeah I should definitely do something about that does I will change the perspective on art so will AI change the perspective of on art yes definitely you sort of you can't quite go back to the perspective you had on art before when you start figuring out the AI stuff and I'm I'm currently trying to slowly learn to experiment with AI and to find my how to use it or abuse it in a way that that serves me and that that isn't destructive because I actually don't think there are much problems with AI in itself there are huge problems with AI within capitalism because you know a fair and reasonable system would you know if a job is made redundant then that would mean that people got more time off but in capitalism if a job is made redundant if a job is made more efficient then that means someone has to be fired and not able to support themselves so the problem is not AI it is capitalism but that being said toying around with AI I am noticing that the most scary thing about using AI for me is that in some way it feels very much like creativity but it is the opposite of creativity unless you know how to use it there really isn't a plagiarism issue in AI art there there is a plagiarism issue with with copyright with capitalism with I'm not saying plagiarism doesn't happen I'm not saying AI can't plagiarize but but the way the AI art has gathered and collected in pulses is it's no different from how the creative process works or you know it's like a collage in a sense but but what now I agree that there are problems with AI and attribution under the current system I need to check out which number my last ink monster was it's number okay so we've gotten that far plagiarism is the problem of humans yeah indeed so what was I saying yeah so so I'm not saying that there aren't real problems associated with AI and and how it will affect people's ability to have a job and support themselves because obviously as that's the problem with anything within capitalism is if the tools become more efficient that means people will be laid off but back to the creative problems of AI the way I see it after having tried it and I don't know enough yet I haven't trained an algorithm on my own art yet but I would love to try and I would love to see other people try the problem is that when you click on the AI and it gives you you know so most of the time it gives you something that is not all that great it has some novelty value but you know usually it's hard to make something really with the AI if you look closer but it it gives you a reward and it it gives you this feeling like if you've made it but you haven't made it so it gives you a false sense of accomplishment for something that is as I said not creative it's the opposite of creative and I I'm not formulating my thoughts on the AI well enough right now I should write a script and then then ask chat gpt to clarify it for me but I'm going to experiment with AI and see how it can help how it can hinder what it can and can't do and what the problems are because I'm sure that I will find umpteen problems more problems once I really start understanding it okay we have our first how do you feel about the Norwegian railroad railway company having used AI art for their Christmas illustrations I didn't know that I didn't know that that is completely ridiculous okay so uh I think that today's live stream will not be all that long because I still have a bad back and I need to move it around a little bit but I think I will do one more drawing which will be an ink monster and you get to decide a color okay oh which color ink monster do you want me to do yeah okay so so sorry okay green green green there was a lot of green and I love that green let's see if I can find the green we have a green where is the green yes this will be a lovely green oh and now I found the wire I was looking for does it look green well I assure you I assure you it is green okay what do you see in the ink plot you're doing all the work for me today what do you see in the ink plot yo I'm loving drawing birds to this stream excellent I'm going to draw a lot of birds this spring so what do you see a man crunching snake dog where do you see the dog sloth butterfly alien like the dog's nose is that particular dark bit on the upright oh that's the nose someone is coming Darth Vader is coming no uh Darth Maul Darth uh it's a uh kit springs it's a kit chutney it's uh talula banks it's uh what's he's called uh what's his pain face what I we just saw the movies Kylo Ren Kylo Ren has joined the chat muted at kermit okay of course we can't do kermit because that would be wrong we would be breaking copyright by you no my light died I need a better solution for for oh well ask Kylo Ren what he sees what do you see Kylo in the ink plot a muted at kermit okay we'll we'll do something in between a muted at kermit and Jabba the hut I can see you're drawing here I can see it everywhere it is here and there oh root life become an art backer thank you so much that is one of the new levels on my youtube membership tier and that is a the level where you once a month will get a art update where I show a little bit of what I'm working on uh and if you are worried that uh creating content for these tiers it will that I will be locking away good content no that's not what I'm doing I'm doing things that are useful for me and that might be interesting hopefully for some but that will not be be viable for the algorithm so it will not work on the youtube main channel that can be a little bit more loose I can be a little bit more kermit the hog that is perfect I will call him that's a good name right kermit the hog yes perfect germ it's a hog do you like my new streaming setup the kilo yes yeah are you going to mess with my stream can I move yeah if you move me back afterwards but do you like the overall layout like this if I had that camera a little bit more here um I think it's a good layout isn't it flip so that I'm on the other side yes move me move me to the other side how long how long will I slide on this god damn la kylo kylo and is moving me now you can see where I am on tv the no what oh oh let me see here uh uh uh uh yeah you are right it's better with me on that side yes use a right use a right use a right use a right um can you give me that box um use a left yeah because use a left yes give me the box it's a heavy box give me the heavy box the heavy box of ink the heavy box when it could have just used with the force yeah hey move it a little bit towards there so we think on the camera there I'm still setting up my news to deal but what I was going to say when I got the art backer is that now you can support for the five dollar tier and I will be revealing new things for that and probably in some ways the five dollar tiers will have the most value because I will do some very cool things on the five dollar tier but the ten dollar tier will get these art updates and the reason why they are only on the ten dollar tier is that if there are fewer people subscribing at that level and fewer people who get to watch the the shorts then it's less of a problem showing things that maybe aren't officially announced yet so so it's very much a practical thing and then there's the twenty five dollar tier which is the vanity tier where I will be talking about my fitness and health and mental health and that is more personal and again it's a question of how many people are going to see it and when it's even less people then there's less trouble talking about things like my kids Kylo Ren did you know that I'm Han Solo Kim Solo so the reason why the tiers are the way they are is not because I'm of course I am trying to extract as much money as possible because I'm trying to make a living and I'm trying to grow my team so that I can do more cool stuff but the main reason why I've decided to go into these three tiers is that the five dollar tiers will get the coolest stuff in one sense because on the five dollar level I will be releasing video sketches which will be sort of a very basic versions of videos that I might be planning to do and these I need to get before many people come holo him solm no both very bad names I think germit the hog is the best name so far and this certainly does look like a germit the hog doesn't it what do you say kylo germit yes you said but I said germat you said germat yeah and germit is much better okay germit unchained I said I I'd pay to see that movie now kylo should we add a d to the germit name so it's like the germit unchained comment there's a comment saying germit unchained now unchanged unchained and they write germit with a d and a j so it's kind of like jango but I think germ I like germit with a d but I think that that the best name is probably with a j germit is scarier than jaba yeah I'm absolutely loving this yes it is so I'll be experimenting with the layout and and with adding more features to the lives I will be doing a poll before the next Thursday live about what I should draw based on your request so please do leave your request one day one day we'll find it the rainbow you can leave requests wherever you want on this video leave it on go back when the live is over and leave it on this video isn't isn't that smart is it smart maybe I don't know are you watching my stream kylo germit hog and that will be the last drawing for uh this live give me heart give me all your hearts but but but I I was in the middle of uh singing one day we'll find it the rainbow connection tapa not a job but we solo who I'll come back to these lives it's really nice to hang with you kim thank you uncle trash and thank you all for uh watching if you have the money do become a member uh I will try to make that as cool as possible without rubbing the other audience the non-paying audience of anything why are you god damn it uh the next time uh before the live I will lock my kids on the roof because I'm drawing in the cellar and if they're locked on the roof then there's very little except when I hear the thump thump okay well I will dispose of them some other way okay um let's wrap this up uh if you like my art then please do support uh and do follow and do leave a comment and say what you want me to draw next time I'll be back on sunday with some art learning uh with some draw how draw a stream and um the art is available for free use it will be uploaded uh and the originals will be sold on den ungeherholm.com uh you can find the uh free versions through there as well and uh yeah uh then it is time to actually finish this this we did two silly drawings le spider baguette and germit the hog so I'm very satisfied and it's been very fun and I'll see you all on sunday for a how draw stream and on thursday for another draw a what bye bye yeah but I'm going to stop the stream I said goodbye
