Troll Family Estate
Medium: Oils Year: 2022 Artist: Salvie Tyrkisk
Elmer (Prairie Troll)
Elmer is a Prairie Troll whose kind can live for millennia. Which is a shame since he made dinner plans with a friend 500 years ago and has been dreading it ever since.
Judith (Plain Troll)
Judith is a Plain Troll with nothing of particular note to say about her. She likes horses. I guess that’s something. She also likes to eat horses. Irony is lost on Plain Trolls like Judith.
Heinrich (Treasure Troll)
One of the most well known species of Troll, treasure trolls are also one of the most misunderstood. For instance, while they do place precious stones in their navels, they also have a saying which, roughly translated, is “A jewel for Every Orifice, a gem in Every Hole.” So, yeah, don’t touch a treasure troll’s treasure. And if you do, please wash your hands afterwards.
Percival (Sludge Troll)
Percival is a simple little Sludge Troll who is looking for love and a little patch of sludge to call his own.
Simon (Wax Troll)
Not to be confused with Kobolds, Wax Trolls don’t actually live in caves. They do, however, enjoy the odd cave tour or spelunk if the mood strikes them. Also, unlike Kobolds, when being photographed Wax Trolls often have no idea what to do with their hands.
Maurice (Magma Troll)
Scientists have been trying for years to get Magma Trolls to adopt the more accurate ‘Lava Troll’ nomenclature. Unsurprisingly, the scientists are summarily ignored…and then tossed into lava.
Sammy (Blister Troll)
If you think human puberty is bad, just try being a Blister Troll.
Trevor (Hex Troll)
Hex Trolls, despite the name, love summer days, high tea and crisp fashions. They’re really quite lovely. Trevor here is just going through a bit of a moody phase.
Stewart (Barnacle Troll)
Barnacle Troll beauty is measured by the amount of barnacles one has accumulated. Some Trolls, like Stewart, try faking it… and when they’re inevitably called out, go on tirades about the unrealistic beauty standards in modern society.
