Hi! My name is Lars and I make handmade sculptures and dioramas based on all the nerdy pop culture stuff that I like.
The content of this channel is 50% lessons in how, 50% cautionary tales of oh my god why, and 50% oh cool look at that. That's 150%!

I'm still here! And elbow deep in a new project, maybe my biggest diorama (size wise at least) yet, and I think it might just be pretty darn tootin' cool #lotr
(it's still a little ways away but I'm sharing a lot of the process with the fine folks over at patreon.com/keepkraken. We'd love to have you! And even the free membership tier gets access to most of the posts so you really don't have any excuse not to. Except for intentionally hurting my feelings I guess which is pretty mean. OK time to close out this parenthesis)

HEADS UP! For myriad dumb technical reasons, we are now back to the old channel name again! 😅
The Patreon will stay as Keep Kraken but the YouTube channel is now and forever back to just plain old Lars. It's confusing, I know. Let's just pretend it never happened.
Other than that I guess please keep enjoying videos and come hang out with us on Patreon 😄

NEW VIDEO! Hey kids, do you like Pokémon? As YouTubes notification system seems all kinds of broken these days, I'll give you guys a heads up here as well : I have a new video and it is up on my channel right now! It's horrifying in all the ways we all know and love, and I really hope you'll enjoy it!
Hugs & tentacles,
Uncle Lars

It's happening!
New video coming tomorrow! 😮 Hope you'll like it a bunch, especially as I expect to be exiled from the country for the cheese crimes committed during the project..

The next video project is done and filming is wrapped! But while I finish up the editing, the vote for the next project is now up on The Keeps Patreon!
Some real bangers to pick from on this one if I may say so myself, so head over to patreon.com/keepkraken to check out what's on offer; and thank you so much for your support <3
(the current vote will be up for about another week or so)
Yours truly, caretaker of The Keep, uncle Traveling Lars

New name who dis? A quick look at the numbers reveal that about 85% of you fine folks missed the last video, so a quick recap: This is still your good old neighborhood beardy Norwegian Lars, just with a snazzy new name and hastily drawn octopod logo! So you can safely watch the weird video that popped up in your feed a few weeks ago, or at least as safely as any of the previous ones I guess...

A quick reminder for those who might have missed my extremely poorly announced channel name change yesterday : If you see Keep Kraken in your feed, fear not! You have not been hacked, it is just your old pal Lars, only now with a fresh coat of paint!

🦑NAME CHANGE! Hello hello, welcome to the new channel name! And don't worry, the current logo is very much a temporary on that I scribbled down today for the occasion, I am in the process of begging my much more talented illustrator friends to redraw it more goodlier. I can offer them a very generous budget of a tin can filled with rocks, old shoelaces and twelve shiny paperclips.
Of course, behind the scenes it is still the same old bearded face you know and love, in a tiny room slowly chipping away at something weird, and hopefully cool adjacent, nerd stuff.
And not only that! There is a new video coming TONIGHT (I hope)! I think you'll like this one!
Spoilers : it might also contain a cheeky launch for something starting with "P" and ending in "atrion"..😉
Welcome to Keep Kraken. I hope you like it.

🔥 Have you had the chance to watch the new video yet? This was the theme voted for by all of you fine folks, and I think it came out pretty OK!
What do you think? What's at the top of your wish list for whenever we do the next Lord of the Rings themed project?
