Erik Krenz

Hello! I’m Erik and I paint with gouache and acrylics

I’m not sure what the solution to this is, but I can not be swiping through TikTok and run into a live stream of Perez Hilton viciously stabbing himself with a knife. I’m legitimately not gonna be able to sleep it was so gruesome

Signed up to take a 3 week atelier course in Florence

Doing some deep cleaning in the house and found some cool marvel black light posters

Found out that my great grandmother was Québécois and I had absolutely no idea. Suffice to say, I’ll be applying for duel citizenship asap

Went in for an adhd evaluation, and not surprisingly, he said I showed telltale symptoms. This line from his assessment made me laugh in particular cause uff “Erik was open and responsive to questions, but he sometimes provided lengthy and tangential response” Sir, must you drag me like this

I gotta be careful with what I say, but I know what I’ll be working on for the next 15 years of my life

Being kinda serious? The Yukon–Kuskokwim Delta is not an easy place to get to, but I’m sure I could figure out logistics

Does anyone want to come with me to Alaska and take reference photos of ducks for the duck stamp competition?

I was trying to keep myself occupied and do my best to not to think about what is happening in my home city, so I painted this portrait study. Tempted to fuck around with it a little and experiment, but I’ll probably just hang it up in my studio and put it up for sale

I tabled at an anime convention this weekend and two little girls came up to my table and said my work was high in atheistic. Not sure exactly what that means, but I took it as a compliment

The end is coming... handmade Dala Horsemen of the Apocalypse! #swedish #swedishamerican #minnesota #TCCon

Everything's fine! 🔥🙃 Hanging with @dreadfulk.bsky.social at Twin Cities Con 💖

Our table markers for our food

Very tempted to take an atelier workshop in Florence since it sounds like my work will pay for it

A few years back I made a poster for one of Minneapolis’s parks, and I finally got around to doing another one. Really happy with how it turned out

It’s been a long time since I’ve done a piece of fanart, and I’m not sure why, cause they’re so much fun to do

Can I get some recommendations on a good cintiq?

Holy crap guys, I can not believe this is mine

I might be buying an original Hiroshi Yoshida woodblock print and I’m kinda freaking the eff out

She is nothing but appetite... and a cutie patootie #dogsofbluesky #nosferatu

If there’s one plant I absolutely despise, it would be buckthorn

Yep, it’s a gin n tonic kinda night…

It was so good!

Kinda haunted by what happened to gene Hackman and his wife

This rates pretty high on the satisfaction scale of art career tasks. #artist #workinprogress #oilpainting #asmr

This doll sits in our house and my partner will absolutely not get rid of her

Mentally I'm here...at the rosebush burrow just walking our pet ladybug 🐞 Print available here: nimasprout.shop/products/ros...

Wish I could pause adulting and get back to sewing... although I didn't get too far on my Miller High Life Moon Girl before the event was canceled, I really shouldn't put another project in limbo land.....

I’m officially an uncle

I started listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl about three weeks ago because a friend of mine recommended it, and I’m already almost finished with book six! I can’t decide if they’re just THAT good, or if I’m just trash, but man, have I had a good time with this series

I’m officially very old. Bought new gutters today and I’m both happy and excited about it

I need spring to come soon

Went to a home remodeling expo this morning, and while it felt good to get the ball running on these much needed renovations, the dawning that there’s so much to do and it’s not gonna be cheap was a punch to the gut

Catching up on new episodes after binging the back catalog over the holidays 🖤🖤🖤 She has the most lovely speaking voice even when talking about lady cannibals 💀 #MyVictorianNightmare open.spotify.com/episode/3Ukg...

Quote your portraits

Hey, my friend @maddydoll.bsky.social, along with @dreadfulk.bsky.social and their friend Carmen made this really cool snow sculpture this weekend and won a bunch of awards! Go check it (and other great snowy works of art) out at the MN fairgrounds! #snow #snowart #snowsculpture #art #owl

My parents are down in NOLA and I can’t believe the pictures they’re sending me

It’s a cruel twist of irony that car batteries like to die on the coldest damnable day of the year!

Michelle and I are gonna be doing an artists residency in France and I’m so freaking excited!

It’s so obvious we’re being manipulated with this TikTok nonsense, and I wish the American people could recognize how insulting that is

I 🖤 this final shot, so I embroidered it #Nosferatu
