 Hi there and welcome to the Free Art Show, the show where I draw what you want and release it for free use under a Creative Commons license. My name is Kim Holm and with me is my beautiful wife Beanie and today we have a bunch of suggestions or six suggestions which we picked out of a record over 40 suggestions and many of them were good and it was really hard to pick this time and I had to make some sacrifices see I've drawn sacrifices here. Oh, a sacrifice? No. I thought it was just an angry, I don't know, three-year-old? Yes, one either or. Is there a difference? And we have new this week is that we have gotten suggestions from Facebook and from Twitter and from Instagram and also from my new account at mines.com which I will probably be talking about a bit later. Anyhow, we will roll the dice and the suggestion that wins will win this intro postcard and I will draw their drawing and release it for free use and they can buy it as well. I was curious. Do you load up the postcard as well for use? No, the postcards are exclusive for the winners because I don't scan them. Yes, that was what I was wondering. Yeah, it's a bit sad but some things have to be exclusive. Maybe they can scan them and upload them for free use. They won't do yet? Yes, that's a great idea. Okay, shall we go through the suggestions? Again, we had over 40 suggestions and many of them were good and I had to pick six and there are different reasons why I picked them. Not all of them obvious but you know all of them are good. They're good in his head. The reasons. Kasem suggested the myth of pan crafting the first pan flute which is a much more rapey myth than you'd assume about a flute. Yes. And then Morten suggests and I have not drawn Cthulhu here. I have drawn a squid, a wood squid happily at home in a tree which is a nice picture. Then Life Reid suggests the carcass, the poem by Charles Baudelaire and it's a bloody awful lovely poem. Victor suggested Cronus devouring his children reimagined because that's one of the iconic images of art history and he wants my take on it and I would love to do that and it's actually two who suggested Cronus this week but yes but Victor was first and he had the kid devouring in there so that's important for him to be devouring it politely politely yes and then bastard Andreas suggests suggest diorama of human suffering which will perhaps be used for the album cover for his band so I'm guessing that's the title of the next CD I should have asked which band it was maybe he wrote I didn't write it here that's the problem and last but not least we have Janna who has a new business here in Norway doing good work connecting people who fall outside the system and counseling them particularly children and such I think and her business is called Phoenix or food phoenix so draw brave and glorious phoenix and I will always love drawing phoenixes so let's the dice decide I'm excited I'm rooting for them even though I like the phoenix I do because I like that foundation I don't I know very little of it and I want to see an octopus in our who wouldn't want to see an octopus let's just roll the dice number four it's Kronos devouring his kids politely that will be that will be a good theme how will we do it now the problem with Kronos devouring his kids is politely politely is that you're up against the very best Goya painted a fantastic image of Saturn devouring his son and Saturn is the Roman name for Kronos and we will use red and we will use ink we will not use politely no that was not polite that's very unpolite eating of kids and you should also check out Rubens painting the same image maybe we'll edit these into the Goya first okay that's Goya and Rubens I think Rubens is Kronos not Saturn but that's not very politely no I want to see forks a fork and I there will be no forks and knives yes life is full of disappointment let's start with some some white ink and let's see if we see some shapes in this sometimes a good way to start an image just trying out see if you find the shapes in there because then then the image will be somehow more I guess more what's the word surprising what are you drawing okay so we will get my wife's take on it as well now do you know the figure a picture yeah do you know the myth of Kronos nope who is Kronos dear wife Saturn who is Saturn Kronos Saturn Kronos Kronos Saturn is the son of Uranus it's always so fun yes he is oh is it and the father of Jupiter who is in Greek mythology called Sevz so it's a very it's got to do with the heavenly bodies in some way I'm guessing and now the myth goes that see on says father time father time probably Kronos oh yes yes probably I'm guessing now Uranus was married to or had children with Gaia and he locked away some of the the creatures like the Cyclops and the hundred-handed giants luck them away in Tartarus and not fathering anyone out of Uranus or mine who wrote that see on now now Uranus Kronos decided to rebel against his father so he got a sickle and castrated his own dad and out of the blood and the testicles grew all sorts of creatures like the nymphs and such so so it's kind of akin to the to some of the aspects of the later Norse mythology where things crawl out of the body of the giant emid but Kronos doesn't actually actually kill Uranus but he takes the throne he marries Rhea rare and he gets and he gets the word that his own children will topple him someday so all his little god children like Hades and Hera and Poseidon he eats in order for them to not topple him so sort of maniacal little scheme he's got there to keep the power okay he's got a fuck you know a titan they had condoms no the titans didn't have condoms they were very bad at they should have legalized abortion yeah but so where we yeah Rhea doesn't quite dig her husband eating her kids all the while so when Seves is born Seves he she hides him in a cave in Crete and and you can visit the cave I haven't I've been close to the cave I've been in the mountains but I haven't visited the cave lovely mountains and in there Seves grows up meanwhile she takes a stone and swaddles it like a baby and lets Kronos eat the stone instead because yeah he doesn't chew his food so then Seves grows up and becomes a tiny little adult god and decides to free his children no his brothers and sisters I mean by making Kronos puke them up I'm not quite sure the means of making the titan puke but he managed it and then all the gods are let free and a great war ensues that hi tanamaki I think it's called and then and then the gods win and become the Greek gods we know but this is most of this is in what are they called the theogonies by Hesiod but the Greeks had loads of different variations on their origin stories there so it's not they weren't married to one single origin but it's a good story let me see my wife is much quicker at drawing than me well will you release it for free use you haven't even signed it finished it looks finished I think I'm going to have to borrow the kids I think I'm going to have to have some wine now we've spinning spinning spinning spinning let you see if there's some problems here I'm hoping that we're back it had jumped offline so drawing Kronos and and Seves or at least one kid sort of fits Seves was Kronos cupbearer and poisoned the wine with that herbal potion thank you says Mr. Seon thank you the Greek theme fits well with me playing Assassin's Creed Origins no Odyssey these days which is which is a game that I love a lot more than it deserves in some way it's got all the worst aspects of modern gaming modern triple a gaming and still I love it because it's silly and full of Greek history and there you have Persians as well I want to see more of the Persians the Achaemenid Empire is sort of my favorite among among the ancient civilizations but the Greeks were cool as well nothing Odyssey is a great game since Tom at the ball yeah yes indeed I am I shouldn't say I'm addicted because I haven't played it in almost a week but that's no fault of my own but yeah just the way they recreate the Greek world and it just feels lovely and it's super silly in a very serious way let's drink some wine and so you start talking about that new new social media platform and on yeah so for a while I'm like everyone else in the world I'm getting tired of the shenanigans of Facebook Facebook is a lovely platform in many ways and I will continue using it it's utterly strange that it has grown to be so so important yeah but it's very bad that a private company should control our means of communication and we're more and more we're we're seeing the effects of that in terms of deep platforming censorship much yeah a lot of different shit happening and also as a creator it's getting harder and harder to use Facebook in a good way without throwing in too much money in it and I don't mind I don't mind spending money on Facebook or on any other platform I run a business and I need a way to communicate with my people and Facebook has allowed me to communicate with 10,000 of you so that's fantastic but my own ethics I mean I use open source software I release stuff for free use this is sort of the opposite of everything Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and Google is doing so I've been searching for a better more open platform and last week on the Joe Rogan experience Bill Ottman the CEO of a platform called Mines was the guest and Mines is an open source platform that's based on blockchain so it's decentralized so it's by its nature it's not controlled the same way the closed platforms are blockchain blockchain is the technology behind Bitcoin and the other it's sort of I don't know how to describe it I don't know enough about it but it's a fascinating way of encrypting information and making you able to anonymously pass along information like money or like a blog post or whatever so some blockchains are very much just the the money aspect of it and some carry a lot of more information like contracts and such and some can also be used in a social network so that you don't store things on central servers but it just lives on no this is very impolite eating anyhow the Joe Rogan experience podcast convinced me to take a step and join Mines to see how it is and so far it's been really good no you're all wrong all wrong we're doing Kronos we're pro-greek anti-Roman this is just bolted yes it's Saturn as well but the request was Kronos so gonna keep it to that but Kronos is something with time right I believe so if someone can explain to me the chronologically speaking yeah he's in the beginning but it's not in the very beginning because he first castrates Uranus nice sentence yeah I've read most of it and I keep forgetting it because I have stories of my own in my head yeah just started my own company and I class the other day on how to make it as a company using Facebook and they I think she pressed enter too soon mm-hmm we're waiting we're very excited for the rest you know Kronos night but that's one of the pros would have been a better name than mine yes one of the problems with with Facebook is that you now have courses also state sponsored courses and professional courses in how to do this very temporary very privately owned stuff and they said Facebook is out of the top ten social media platforms but there is no good alternative as of now yes that is true that is definitely true I'm not saying that mines is a good alternative as of now but the problems with mines right now is kind of obvious it's a free open platform with a lot less censorship and so everyone who gets tossed away from Facebook ends up there and that's it the whole spectrum the whole beautiful spectrum of loonies are there to welcome you hmm and you and me yes so I went in there and I just didn't understand no it's I don't understand it it's supposed to be so free but then they're all talking about the money you like to give to each other no that's we'll get into that it's it's not money it's tokens you can't exchange it at least not yet there's no people persons I have to make a channel yes I don't want to have a channel no that's one of the problems here but so the way that mines seems to work is that for doing for being active and productive on mines you get rewards in tokens and those tokens you can use to boost your posts that's what you would pay Facebook or Instagram or Twitter for they said people have to spend more and more on Facebook and Facebook will be more expensive expensive so I'm pretty pissed yes that's now I got on Facebook I got from zero to five thousand followers without using a single dime and then from five thousand to ten thousand I experimented a bit and ended up using something like three hundred dollars in the end that's a bit if some of it was directly on growing some of it was trying to promote events and stuff like that but you know that's a bit and but I'm okay with that but by my estimates the way it works now I would have to use over five hundred dollars if I was to reach 20,000 and if I'm really good I would have to spend maybe 500 to a thousand that basically paying one dollar per extra person on Facebook that seems standard now on mines which is still small and still filled with all the lovely weirdos you get these tokens for being active which means that as an artist and artists are not that good at being active but we're good at giving a platform value some of the first things that happened to me on mines was that people started giving me tokens because maybe they have more tokens than they could use and yes I'll talk influences I'll just finish the mines talk I just finish it by saying that it's potentially a genius system for artists I'm not sure if it's a genius system for anyone else so I hope that somehow they find a good way of making it a good system for everyone else as well and I can't give a wholesome recommendation everyone go to mines and I'm going to try out other social media platforms that are run by the same principles but I can say that if you're adventurous on the internet and and if the loonies don't bother you then it's a pretty interesting platform and I'm very satisfied with the response I've gotten there so far so I'll be continuing on now my influences as an artist Mark Mark also wants to know have you ever seen Steven Gamble's illustrations in scary stories to tell in the dark yes I've seen his illustrations because other people I think on free the free art show when it was called free art Fridays said the same thing have you ever seen Steven Gamble's illustrations and yeah there's an definite affinity our art hate each other our art would be friends not best friends but good friends now my influences are my influences are my influences are basically all comic book artists and basically most of them were big in the 90s so Frank Miller is a God for me artistically and storytelling wise and Sam Keith was huge in my and also I've been reminded how much I love Simon Bisley when he drew slain and when he drew Lobo it was just gorgeous stuff and melting pot is just so good so crappy so good it's wonderful and John Jay Muth was kind of more refined but the stuff that he did for sound man the wake has a lot of a lot to do with how I am use my brush today and Jens Costileva whom I'm happy to call my friend now he was huge for me just by showing me how good and ugly drawing could be and other people who were big for me I'm guessing and will Eisner John Bushema huge I fucking love Bushema the few Conan stories which he got to ink himself is the most beautiful thing in the world Jack Kirby of course Möbius and a lot of others a lot of others Greg Ruth some sillier cartoon as well was this great comic called Gregory about a boy in an insane asylum he couldn't speak and it was trapped in a in a straight jacket and one of the comics was about the day he discovered his arms and didn't know what to do with them and it's just so lovely stuff so that's basically my influences but now when I've failed I failed my comic career last winter and decided to admit the fall and become an artist a stinking artist instead which is good I like it but now I'm searching for new influences so I was with my seven year old son at the museum with this is there his class as a museum and saw the paintings of Nikolai Ostrup which is an amazing Norwegian painter from 1890 up to 19 something 1920 ish tennis and he did amazing stuff and that was very much inspirational and let me see if I can think of any others should we do some white ink on this or is it or some red ink colored you mean color see my wife has also drawn Kronos eating his son politely very politely and you can see the Sun isn't happy no is it Poseidon I don't know no no no he would not because it's after they are freed that they go they free the Cyclops and the Cyclops makes the the the liking bolts for ceds and the crown for Hades and the fork for two things okay Yana wants to know if you have tried the Neatom's liquid charcoal I have not I have seen it demonstrated and it looked very fascinated but I'm fascinating but I've not tried it should I use red on this I don't know but I want to know or Muhten wants to know if a duck fails to heal a wounded person is it a quack yes it is a quack that is absolutely factually correct should it use red or is it good in black and white I think it's good in black and white you can just need to tighten in some stuff here and then I'll leave it without anything except the ink which is doesn't often happen anymore which was sort of yes right the American artist George Pratt would be up your alley George Pratt updated enemy ace George Pratt is definitely up my alley and enemy ace also yes yes to the red going for the red would you like red Kim isn't certain now I'm very uncertain but you should stand up and look at your picture far yeah I'll stand up and look at my red wine see if it's it looks good on the did it you see the shadow doesn't look oh red oh yes it looks good it will not look like that then you are some poor artist sorry maybe red mix with a bit of black and you know I trust the artist leave it I just poured more red I actually I think I'll I'm not finished I know I'm not finished because there's some things that are unclear but I think that red would take too much focus and it doesn't really belong there it looks horrible it looks horrible as it is yes maybe red would make it look kitty yeah I don't dare do red now but how are we on time 2150 should we try to do a quick one would you like to I could okay but then the next row blah blah won't get a postcard the next no only the one that the dice decides gets a postcard oh then you have to what the dice decide the next one I can it can I should we do dice again Mark says what a joy to watch you paint thank you mark and Yana says maybe you would enjoy the work of Kim I have recently found out about Kim Yong Gi and I absolutely hate his guts because he's so much so much better than me dice is law okay we'll sign this one and we'll roll the dice again I think I like this oh no no no I thought I was finished but I'm clearly not you haven't splattered I haven't there's no spatter splatter spatter there is a difference between splatter and spatter and my use of proper is correct and proper it's called a splatter film because they splat movie it's called fake blood everywhere when what's he called Dexter works he works with spatter spatter Dexter doesn't like blood it's all in his head Gary Shiloh wants to know what today's drawing what today's drawing is and the mochten Sander says court shouldn't use them dice yes okay today's drawing is Cronus devouring his kids the focus is off is it often your people it looks so way I'm sorry we'll just like this and down here that's better okay so that was the first drawing we'll sign it and we'll try to do another Cronus devouring his kids I said so do you enjoy splatter movies I do enjoy splatter movies I haven't seen one in ages because my wife that's not true it's not ages since I saw a splatter movie what splatter movie have I seen a horror film is not the same it wasn't a splatter are you talking about get out yes it was barely horror and we was barely blood and it was fun I liked it but it was barely it was a comedy okay shall we roll the dice one more time and so we have a pan we have squid we have the carcass we don't have Cronus we have a diorama of human suffering and we have Phoenix the carcass that's the poem that's the poem by Baudelaire and now you have to google it and read it meantime mochten Sander asks if you enjoy splatter movies and I just want to say one thing he does enjoy a splatter film I do not so if he watches a splatter film if you we watch a splatter film then we have to see a pink film afterwards yeah but we've seen 500 pink films is that my fault okay let's do a quick carcass mochten Nansen says yes okay carcass okay it's a lovely poem the carcass Baudelaire if you yes because if I google carcass it would have been a nice if you google carcass you will get the death metal band which you recently heard about on your favorite show friends carcass were supposed to be the wedding band for no they weren't it was a Phoebus yeah okay but it would have been good and carcass is a magnificent band the carcass poem okay I read it in preparation so I know what what I will like to draw because it's a lovely poem it starts out with it's a part of the Le Fleurs de Mal as I'm sure it's pronounced by Charles Baudelaire and it starts out with like do you remember this thing we found as a side of the road then it goes into deep description of the carcass and the worms and French and everything okay there's a French and then it takes a twist towards the end not a zombie twist but a good twist lovely I would say a carcass my love do you recall the object which we saw that fair sweet summer morn at a turn in the path of foul carcass on a gravel strewn bed it's let waste in the air like the lustful woman burning and dripping with poisons displayed in a shameless nonchalant way it's bellies swollen with gases charming it gets better the sun shone down upon the putrescence as if to roast it to a turn and to give back a hundred fold to great nature the elements she had combined and the sky was watching that superb caterpillar blossom like a flower so frightful was the stench that you believed you'd faint away upon the grass the flow the blow flies were buzzing around the putrid belly from which came forth black battalions of maggots which ooze like the heavy liquid all alone those living tatters all this was descending and rising like a wave or poured out with a cracking sound crackling one would have sent the body swollen with a vague breath limped by multiplication and this world gave forth singular music like running water or the wind for the grain that winnowers winnowers with a rhythmic motion shake in their wind baskets the forms disappeared and were no more than a dream a sketch the slowly felt falls upon the forgotten canvas that the artist completes from memory alone crouched behind the boulders an anxious dog dog watches us with angry eyes waiting for the moment to take back from the carcass the morsel he had left and yet you will be like this corruption like this horrible infection star of my eyes sunlight of my being you my angel and my passion yes thus will you be queen of the graces after the last sacraments when you go beneath grass and luxurant flowers to molder among the bones of the dead then oh my beauty say to the worms who will devour you with kisses that i have kept the form and the divine essence of my decomposed love okay see that's a love poem that's a love poem that is a love poem it's not exactly shall i compare the two of summer's day yeah shall i compare the two carcass bubbling with maggots in a summer's day yes that's a splatter in poland it is um i'm sad i can't read it in france in france i'm sad i cannot read it in france i can try and leave it silly yes no uh but but uh it is rather lovely um and i would have liked to be finished with it um in france it rhymes all the way yeah it does not so in english no but sometimes you shouldn't make translations rhyme you should if they if they rhyme sometimes you shouldn't uh uh because um sometimes the next one rhymes ooh shall you read it again there's another there are several poems yeah yeah no there are several translations yes you want to english it's not my first language it's not my second either it's my third shall you look back and see if um let's see if uh there's any comments oh i can read that ha i was thinking about the band ooh mononigo says ralph Steadman maybe not the next the best move to eclasania right now that's the best move the best of the best moves it's uh i don't know if i like this um maybe i'll not upload it maybe i will uh gotten some things right here but some things are off and i'll see if i can see if i can rescue it in some way if i can't then this was a failed attempt and that happens this is a bad carcass are you drawing her now this is the carcass oh that's an accidental tit it wasn't but why does it have human legs human legs yes it looks yeah with sneakers even no it's not sneakers it is a human carcass oh so you're drawing her no the poem or is it not it's not a human carcass it's like like a woman yeah like a woman so it's not a woman no it's not a woman i have not drawn a woman okay i've just drawn an accidental tit i've erased a tit now spatter it up real good and hope it comes out somehow now sometimes the spattering of ink is an integrated and vital and technical part of the drawing sometimes it's splashing ink on the paper hoping it will save whatever you failed at drawing you're liking it better now so it's somehow well we do like large chests sent the pirate i will not be attempting a second drawing just as you oh come on please i'm liking this a lot better now oh so the splatting yeah this was a pure technique uh this was just my not luck at all could you possibly the white ink is this the white ink if there's no that's a wetting agent no wetting agent on the carcass it's the one with something in it i i had a good idea now this is what i tell you what oh no you use the wine oh yes see you could have gotten that color yes i could no there's another like this isn't there no there is not that is a lie okay then we'll have to do this retarder new no retarding the corpse and then it's this so you do not want me to read the rhyming poem you can read the rhyming poem i can not if you don't want i can hear the tail again since you won't draw it a little bit of wine on the drawing to make it smell good so if you the thing with these drawings is that i will release them for free use but that's just the download version if you rather would like the version that smells like red wine then you can the organic version as long as you claim it before the next free art show you get it for a hundred euro including international shipping and the way you can claim it is just to say claim here or on any of my other social media sites and also if you want to have a request for next week i will be posting my request on facebook and instagram and twitter and now on mines but you can also as soon as this is up on youtube you can post your requests there in the comments the wine added a very interesting touch i like it now yes it got better with the wine that's many things too are you talking about our first date oh yes that was no that was beer yes but the day we met there was lots of wine oh yes we had a cart and a wine oh yes you did okay shall i read yes okay the object that we saw let us recall this summer mourn when warmth and beauty mingle at the path's turn a carcass layer sprawl up on a bed of shingle legs raised like some old whore far gone in passion the burning deadly poison sweating mass opened it its paunch in careless cynic fashion ballooned with evil gas on this putrin's the sun blazed in gold cooking it to a turn with eagle care so to repay to nature a hundred fold what she had mingled there the sky as on the opening of a flower on the superb obscenity smiled bright the stench drove at us with such a fearsome power you thought you swore outright flies trumpeted upon the rotten belly once larvae poured it in legions far and wide and flowed like molten and liquefiesent jelly jelly down living rags of pride okay this one was more disgusting yeah everything that rhymes is more disgusting the mass the mass ran down or like a wave elated rolled itself on and crackled as if as if frying you'd think that corpse by vogue vague breath animated drew life from multiplying through that strange world a rustling ruble ran like rushing water of a gust of air a grain that went oars with rhythmic fan sweep simmering here and there it seemed a dream after the form screw painter or like a sketch that slowly seemed to dawn on forgotten canvas with the painter from memory has grown from which the painter the memory has drawn behind the rocks a restless curl that's slunk eyed asked with fretful greed to recommends his feast amidst the bonework on the trunk that he had torn from dense you'll resemble this infection too one day and stink and sprawl in such a fashion star of my eyes son of my nature you my angel and my passion yes you must come to this oh queen of graces at length when the last sacraments are over and you go down to Mulder in dark places beneath the grass and clover then tell the vermin as it takes its pleasant and feasts with kisses on the face of yours i've kept intact in form and godlike essence are our decomposed amores it's lovely yeah i
