Sculpture artist builds giant TROLLS w/ recycled materials – hidden around the globe

Thomas Dambo, the world’s leading recycle artist has been taught from a young age the value of recycling, sustainability, and unlimited imagination. Thomas’ vision is to create art that inspires people to go explore, have adventures in nature, and demonstrates that trash can be turned into something beautiful, and he has done so by creating 125 wooden troll sculptures built from recycled wood pallets.

    We have some of these in Louisville, KY! Surely they’re made by him. Googling it now!

  6. @SaralisaL on April 1, 2025 at 5:24 am

    My BF helped collect the material for the Bainbridge Island, WA troll. They’re super cool in person!

  7. @wanderlust62 on April 1, 2025 at 5:26 am

    That was absolutely A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!!! Will be planning a road trip around Oscar when completed and looking for others in states I visit!

    Yes, please! πŸ₯°

  12. @Chirita008 on April 1, 2025 at 5:32 am

    WOW! How creative and a great way to reduce our garbage. Do you draw and plan out where each piece will go, or do you draw a base and then place the pieces as you go? On average, how long does it take to complete one? Just incredible work!! πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

  13. @dumbwaiter3644 on April 1, 2025 at 5:33 am

    Best thing I’ve seen today.

  25. @janeysiegrist5061 on April 1, 2025 at 5:51 am

    I love these trolls. So fresh and innovative.. plus there are a number of them in the Seattle area.. I’ve got new reasons to explore.
    Also.. Ryan Henry Ward (a Seattle muralist) might be a good artist to showcase.

  26. @netted.8416 on April 1, 2025 at 5:52 am

    What a wonderful idea you have created! Awesome!!

  27. @TinyHouseGiantJourney on April 1, 2025 at 5:52 am

    While we’ve featured many unique homes on this channel, we’d love to start featuring artists as well, and Thomas has us blown away with his spectacular troll sculptures. Would you like to see more videos in this series about incredible artist creations? Comment below!

    Do you have tiny homes ready for sale, we have to move for work in 3 weeks in Vallecito, Bayfield.

  31. @liberaldisdain on April 1, 2025 at 5:56 am

    Why not make troll houses for the homeless and really help solve a problem.
