Just in case you missed it, I posted a fun video last week about, well, Swedish snow penises. The reason you may have missed it is that YouTube isn't super thrilled about snow penises, so the video "may be suppressed by the recommendation algorithm," according to YouTube, and of course it was demonetized because no-one should profit from a moral failure like arranging snow vertically.
Anyway, the video is doing pretty well (on my small channel scale) despite it all, because it turns out actual people quite enjoy this sort of artistic/cultural silliness. Happy holidays! I'm likely posting a rambling "draw with me" type of video on Dec 24th, so look out for that if you have patience for such videos.

Hey, I uploaded a new video casually wandering and wondering about weird and funny stickers and other street art around New York City. Check it out!

My new video is up now! A man sets sail from America, looking to cross the Atlantic ocean alone in a 13-foot boat. When he disappears, many people think he did it as a work of art.

A while back I wrote a post about a video I had just completed, hoping it might find an audience — and then was overwhelmed by the response upon launch, as the video crossed 100,000 views. That video, a compelling comics story about a rebellious Swedish duck, now has reached more than half a million views!
Now I have just finished another video, featuring another really compelling story, this time a mystery from the art world involving a difficult journey across the Atlantic ocean. I’m telling the few souls who will see this post about it, because my plan is to NOT release this video to your subscription feed — so please look out for it on the edlundart channel this Tuesday at 4pm EST.
But why am I not sending it to your subscription feed? Well, YouTube is a funny place… when you have a hit video about a cartoon duck, you suddenly have a majority of subscribers who love cartoon ducks, but they often won’t click on videos you make about things that aren’t cartoon ducks. And when YouTube notices this, sometimes it decides not to show the video to anyone else either, because the video will be deemed a failure since duck fans don’t like it. So instead, as an experiment, I’m taking a gamble and trying to let YouTube’s algorithm find an audience for this thing. It may fail spectacularly. But that’s OK — failure is the default setting. I hope you will find the video and that you happen to be one of those people who like both cartoon ducks AND interesting videos on art, design, animation, and culture. If that’s you, well then you’re my kind of people.
See you soon, on the internet! I'll be the guy in the hat.

I’m just finishing up a video that features the number one story I wanted to tell when I started this YouTube channel. It’s what I imagined would bring me thousands of views and hundreds of subscribers, because it’s just such a compelling, cool story, about an indie comics artist triumphing against a corporate giant.
Having published quite a few videos now, I have learned that some of them get 40 views, others 400, and now and then some get many thousands, and there is very little discernable rhyme or reason to what finds an audience and what doesn’t. So I know better than to expect anything, but either way, I’m excited to share this video with whoever stumbles upon it. My aim is to upload it this Tuesday at 4pm-ish here in New York, so please do tune in then!
