About

Kim Diaz Holm


I'm Kim (aka denungeherrholm on social media), an artist from Bergen, Norway. Perhaps best known for my loose inking technique. Monsters, Norse myth, Lovecraft and heavy metal. Mostly ink on paper, with the odd detour into acrylics and oils.

Art should be free


I've worked as an artist since 2004. Since 2020 I've posted ink monsters on YouTube and TikTok, and my channels now have more than 2 million followers combined. I've made books, comics and exhibitions, and drawn more than 2,000 concerts from the side of the stage, and worked on cover artwork for bands like Solstafir, Vreid, 1349, Abbath and Primordial.

I think art should be free. Not necessarily free of charge, but free to share, use and make new art from, like old fairy tales and folk music. So I release my work under a Creative Commons attribution licence, and make originals, prints and merch for those who want to support me.

The shop and my patrons are what make that possible. They also keep things steady when my bipolar disorder makes work harder. I'm a family man with a wife and two kids, and everything I do, I do for them.
