Today, Sara speaks with Norwegian artist, storyteller, and influencer Kim Diaz Holm. Known online under the handle Den Unge Herr Holm, Kim has built a passionate following by sharing videos of the creation process behind their striking ink monsters while discussing topics ranging from mythology and music to mental health and politics.
In this episode, Sara and Kim discuss Kim’s portrait project, where they offered free custom paintings to followers as a way to practice their craft and connect more personally with their community; the decision to make more than 4 GB of their artwork freely available for individuals to use without being limited by cost or copyright; and the collective grief currently being felt on a global scale.
You can hear the song Kim talks about, Til Ungdommen, via YouTube:

And explore an English translation of the song lyrics using a rhyming scheme.
