Killer Bobbers Christmas Joke!

A traditional Killer Bobbers workshop joke, around this time is -

When some one is away, we quickly take out there engine, and hide it some where in the workshop...

That is always so fun, we drink and drink and laugh and laugh -

Wish list:

To whom it may concern / Santa...

Flat and square

Okay - it´s the Christmas month - No shit! Sherlock...

And a good friend of mine who´s an artist, told me that she was creating some Christmas decorations for her art shop. We spoke a little back and forth about cool color for a Christmas tree - end ended up with the idea that it could be fun to paint some Christmas balls for her shop.

But they had to be a little different - for sure... so we agreed to make them flat and square.....

Rikke brush painted the base color on 10x10 cm plywood pieces, and I joined in with a cut out Stencil and some rattle cans.

Always fun with a psychedlic Christmas projects like that.. next time we need some more red wine to spiff up the toxic fumes...


So now we got flat and square Christmas balls for everybody, this Christmas....

Isle of Man 1979

My good friend Søren dropped by with this awesome Ducati 900SS.

It appears to be the legend John Oldfield old race bike. He drove this piece of machinery in the Isle of Man Challenge 4.th of june 1979. - pretty cool I think.


The Duc`s in perfect condition, it just needed a little driver tag on the sheild.
So I stir some paint and made some classic hand lettering.


and a couple of hand painted logos on the rear.


Dellorto carb and Campagnolo rims etc. ect.

Motorcycle Art

This is a new seria of Motor cycle Art that I´m Working on.

I´ve found a bunch of old papers that I believe are from 1960 -1970.
They are German instruction for some kind of Industrial machinery,
and all saying something different in German. The instructions papers are interesting, but there´s no use for them anymore. The machine they tell us about are gone, and so are the old danish company (Dansk Soyakagefabrik A/s) 1918-1991)

Now the papers will have a different use.. they are gonna´be small pieces of art!

These Limited Bike illustrations, are made the old style way - Pencil and Ink.

Went on at ride this weekend - to the moon and back....

A little sip and you´r ready....

We know it - and it´s coming even before you close to ready...

Yes - it´s time for the annual Christmas party season,
it´s time to have a sip, a snack and a bite....


It´s time to leave the car, the wife , the kids, the phone (all up to you to decide.) at home...


Bon appetit.

Speed up the Colors

Work in progress. Latest colorful painting


And BTW, I miss colorful cars with hood ornaments...

If I was a car manufacture and my sales team told me that people these days want to be individuals, and want to show Individual trends, and bla bla bla!

I would make cars in colors, with ornamentation. As simple as that....

If the customer then came and said: Whaooo that´s a cool car - do you have it in navy blue or maybe black, and without the funny birdy thing on the hood.....

I would smile and tell them: I´m sorry my freind - We don´t sell cars! - we sell experiences. What you´r looking for - they´ll properly sell down the road - look for IKEA

Unfortunately most of the car industry, has gone the other way, and try to give people what people want.
If that´s the winning strategy I don´t know!

But I do know most people don´t know what they want - until they see it.
And people who knows what they want, normally don´t want the same as everybody else.

Simple as that! - Speed up the Colors and Bring back some Coolness please

From the sketchbook.

So much to do - So little time.

I disagree with folks that think Monday is the worst day in the week.

If they have that feeling, I´ll strongly suggest them to quit whatever they do on Monday´s...
- But I´ll agree, it´s probably the most difficult day to maintain concentration...

So, if you want to change your Mondays - do that on a Tuesday...


Got to find a place like this - some day....sweet!

Some day oh yeah, some day....

HAVE FUN!

Yellow days!

Some time it seems like everything is turning yellow around you!!!

My work desk in the garage.


A yellow place somewhere out there -

The Big 5 Safari

When you on a warm summer day want some inspiration for a new serie of 5 Mixed media pictures showing "The Big 5" (the 5 large African animals, popular among hunters once.)

- what do you do!?...

You also just bought a Land Rover because it´s summer and Karen Blixen and everything to do with safari, sun and dust is cool.

You take your new old Rover and join the 4x4 club an early Sunday morning on a military test driving area, 30 min. north of Copenhagen.

- The animals you had to imagien...


1:5 The great water Buffalo.


2:5 The Leopard.


3:5 The Elephant.

I made these mixed media pictures with watercolor, digital photo print and pencil on antique paper. All framed: size 30x20cm. All sold out unfortunately.


4:5 The Rhino

5:5 And the Lion..

Me and my Land Rover 88" County.
Great car if you live in Africa, but in Copenhagen it´s kind of out of it´s element.
But I had a fun summer, mostly hunting Jaguar XK´s..... There´s ONE - Go Go Go get it...



My atelier: African inspired work in progress.

The Old 45"

My Old 45" WL was a good and working bik I bought it - and then....
You put on a sticker, and think - maybe I should put on another seat.

Before you know of it, Kapoow! you´r changing everything...

I´ll say, a good start is always to put on a sticker, and next step will natural be to sandblast the frame - just to check for cracks...
And now you in to it, rebuild the engine, and change the oil...

When your finish, it won´t cost you anything...



after a "little" work - your ready to race...

And this is the result I ended up with.


I took these pictures a sunny day on a rooftop in the center of Copenhagen.

This Bike was absolutely one of my best bikes ever. I can only recommend the small 45" workhorse...

One man´s junk - another man´s jewel.

There´s so many things that makes a great Bike.
One man´s junk - another man´s jewel, as they say....


I think the most important thing, is that you make the bike yours.
Whatever you do to it - dosn´t really matter - as long as you feel good about it, and think it look cool.

I, as many, has a huge photo archive on my Mac with all different kind of bikes.
All extraordinary examples.

Each time I run through this archive it makes me happy, thinking about all the good times and long hrs you put in to it, creating it.

I think there´s a lot of people out there, that appriciate it, we gets inspired from what you do.
I must say - I do!

Should pick 3 bikes out of my archive right this moment that inspire me most - it will go to these following examples.

Bam Baaammmm BA Dammmmm

And the nominees for most Inspiring Bike in the archive Tonight - are.......


The Knuckel -


The Pan -


and The Shovel ........

Racing Monte Carlo

My old Renault 4 in front of the Casino Monte Carlo. Notice the Danish number plates....

Some Japanese people with a bunch of cameras, asked me when I stepped out of the Renault, wearing a sharp suit and 70th shades: Where are you from sir, - may we take picture?...

The answer was of cause: The car belongs to the diplomacy - I´m here for enjoyment...
- please no pictures, Thank you.....

If I hadn´t been alone, I would have started to laugh... Not only cause of the crap I was saying, but the Japanese started immediately to flash pictures.. but Ok! what could you have expected.
But they are sweet people and said - Than´ Hu´sir, Than´ Hu´(thank you) I believe....

BTW: to the story goes that I didn´t go to the Casino, cause I was kind of broke at that time.
Why I went to Monaco was only because the road N7 that goes up there from Nice, is a fantastic route to drive, and I loved to do that (I was residents close to Nice for a periode).

Absolutely fantastic scenery.

If you have a vintage sports car or a cheap Renault, it´s a must go - good fun.

Just remember to dress properly and clean your car before arriving - then everything is cool in Monte Carlo...

My BSA tracker

These sharp photos was then taken by Kristian Holm

And this photo by me, when I bought the BSA...

My inspiration -

The head light was from a old tractor, the rear from a TT Yamaha. The rear tire was for trial, and the seat some home made stuff.

The special attachments on the seat was for a water bottle, the newspaper, or a towel and swimwear.

Can´t say this is latest news! I made the bike back in 2002.. - But I just found these pisc. and remember, I liked that BSA a lot.

It was perfect for the city traffic, and a quick ride to the beach.

Today is a good Day.

A Day worth Remembering....

So this Old guy calls me up, and tells me he a old friend of a friend of mine!...

He also tells me that he heard I do Paintings!

Ooooookay - I say, and ask him to visit my web page.
But no way - the old guy don´t use the internet... Then he shouts to me he want a portrait painting of his Wife and dog, that don´t live among us any more..

Oooookay right - I´m sorry to hear that! I say, - and I´m very sorry to disappoint you, but I don´t really do portrait paintings....
What do you do then he ask!
Well! I said, sometime I paint people, cars, bikes and other stuff that surrounds me.
Great! he says that´s what I want, I never seen one of your paintings, but it sounds like what I want.... I´ll send you the photo...

The photo!? Okay, I say, I´ll take a look, but I won´t promise you anything...

When I receive the photo, I see the old guy has taken a photo of his vintage bike with wife and dog in the sidecar, on a gas station a sunny day.

I think to myself - well okay! - This guy loves sunny days - his bike, his girl, his dog, and a tank full of gas... and that´s good in my book.

Honestly I think - it´s more or less, what it´s all about.
It doesn´t matter what kind of bike, nor how many wheels it has....

It´s about a great feeling - and a Day worth Remembering.

So I made him his painting.. And I hope it will bring back some good memories.

This David Mann illustration below, tells the same story i think...

Orange Peep Show

A fresh Peep show in my sketchbook, and a notice of the day! :


If you´r in the DK area and like the color Orange, fresh cold air, and a possibility that a insane huge wild living deer will hunt you down! Go to the forests these days, it doesn't get any better than this, and it´s only for a very short period of time...




One of my paintings ( MyDeer) 200x150 cm Oil & acrylic on canvas. More on the official website.

Long Weekends for everybody in the future....

First of of all - A long weekend has always been a good thing. Personal I believe Friday and Monday should be included....So I´m early at work this week...

Maybe if we all chilled a little more, and helped out each other some more. Weekends with 4 days would be possible. That would properly even limit the weekly consumption of coffee, parking tickets and to long business meetings.....

Anyway, I relaxed as much as possible and didn´t use any "unnecessary energy" or movement, that accumulate appetite, that leads to more CO2 in the air - and there we go....

Only a little pinstriping on my friend Peter´s Matchless rims and a little energy, thinking of the poster below, that we see all over Copenhagen these days.

: AFTER 65 MILLION YEARS -THEY ARE BACK....

Yeah Right...WHERE!?.... But anyway, the thought I cool as a UFO landing...

A quick look through my sketchbooks


Like farther - like son...

My old man had a MG (SA Saloon) like this one in pale yellow in 1948 - a shame he sold it, before I had the opportunity to chop it to a ROD...

Paris 1953. The days when you went smoking and family shopping on your bike - like everybody else...Check the kid with the shades! 2 cool 4 school.....

The first Panhead I had a crush/ride on: The "flame swine" with a Porn Deluxe decal on the oiltank - Damn! That was porn deluxe... you never forget your first ride on 1200

Garage sign POP

Some days change radically, and sometimes your workschedule to!

Like today! I planed to work on a customer painting, and then suddenly I get this idea.... I need gasoline signs on my new garage door...
The fastest way to get something like that, is to paint them. So I go out and find some plywood, and start painting. While I´m working on the signs I think of the last post I made (below: Warhol og Jagger) and then it hits me.... my garage signs are gone POP art style....


Well - why not! Always like Pop art

Relax - Enjoy

Grass Bug

This Bug is one om my first memories of a car i wanted, I was on display in the garden of the Danish the art museum Louisiana, back in the late 70th. I wanted that Bug more than a puppy....

Sun, Bronze & Old cars

Last time on road N7 - down the French Riviera, I bumped into this old 2CV!
What a place for retirement....


Same day this bronze Bugatti made a great impression on me.
A 1:1 size Bronze Bugatti type 35... yes please...in my living room! - yes please.
Or in the garden that I don´t have, would be great to...
But the main idea when i left, was to go home and make a 1:1 Bronze Harley Bobber .... That will hopefully be realized some day in the future...

DIAMONDS & OIL

Diamonds are a girls best friend -


and a Garage, is a mans second home...



Finally! After almost a year without a permanent garage, I got a new place for all my bike parts and my 1949 Panhead. AAhhhhhh feels like coming home after a long journey.

I build my new worktable, shelf etc. from reused wood. The idea was to use only old, reused and free materials to give the "new" interior an old style atmosphere.

I already love this place - remember, the next 7 month we got a lot of rain, cold and darkness. So when you can´t go for a ride, you can go to the "Old" Garage and enjoy the smell of Diamonds and Oil...

Batteries, Beers & Gasoline

Will a car run on beer in the future - and when can we start to eat our old batteries???

There will properly be a lot of questions in Copenhagen this Dec. when we host the Climate Conference, that´s set to be essential for the worlds climate...

Meanwhile in the Batcave im´preparing for a new art piece that refer to questions like that.

It´s set to be launched a place where thoughts about future transportation and environmental requirements are highly focused... But i´ll get back to this.

The 2 paintings in this post is made by Mr. Franz Ackermann. Franz Ackermann is absolutely a FANTASTIC German artists, and a huge part of the inspiration for this latest project.

But this Tin Toy car i just bought in France - will also play a big role...


And don´t forget a 6 pack "battery" of cold beer....

Cheers

Trilogy - easy as 1,2,3 ....

My art bicycle trilogy and build is done.

The 1 gear ROADSTER, (4 $ALE)

the 2 speed SPORTSTER, (4 $ALE)

and the 3 speed SPEEDSTER.


Easy as 1,2, 3 -

Klick on the bikes name if you want to see more of the build and process.

THE ROADSTER

This is the ROADSTER #3 (1 Speed bike), and the last in my bicycle "art" trilogy build.

This one is inspired from the Board Track Racers back in the early 1920th


I found pieces for this last bike all over the world. France, Italy, Germany, Denmark etc.
I restored everything, put it together, hand painted and polished it, so The ROADSTER bike would be 100% special..
The frame is a NOS Columbus frame 1980 (never been mounted before), Champagnolo 170 Strada 2 /Maffioletti vintage krank , Velocity deep V Rims, 700x28c Classic Panaracer on the back, Front tire: Continental Grand Prix 700x24c, short black stem, B17 narrow Brooks seat on a vintage NOS stronglight post, NOS Torpedo back hub mounted, NOS French Atom pedals Italian Gipiemme quick shifter etc.

This bike has not been on the street yet. But when the right buyer shows up, and pays the doe we´ll take it for a spin.

Why! - When this ROADSTER bike hits the street the first time - the NOS parts will not be 100% NOS anymore.... so this honor goes to the buyer....

Same Same - But Different...

Once I made this paint-job on the Panhead gastank. It was actually inspired from this vintage toy - same same but different...

PUSSY - CHICKEN

Love the $mell of fresh paint in the morning..

Coffee is good to - but the fresh smell of paint in the morning reminds me of money in my pocket... Ahhhhhh - money so we can buy coffee, gaz, and more paint....

Just finished a couple of new paintings on demand, a road House dancing girl, and some freestyle abstract contemporary, or whatever you call it!

So don´t hesitate out there! if there´s a special motive you always wanted for a large painting - Let me know...I´ll promise to spend all the money on Panhead parts...

The Old Fashioned Way

A Panhead illustration made the god old fashioned way marker, pencil & pen on paper. With a touch of air brush like we did before the Mac days.

A Golden Chain - and This Is It!

This is The SPORTSTER Bike, and This Is It!

The bike is #2 in my Trilogy build called:
The 1 gear ROADSTER the 2 speed SPORTSTER and the 3 speed SPEEDSTER.

Try to say that line fast......

The only thing I need, is to put on the golden chain, and take it for a test run in the streets of Copenhagen.

I´ve hand painted everything, rechromed, polished and changed every bering.. 100% inspired from the Race bikes in the 70th to the early 90th.

Columbus frame, Shimano 600 krank, Velocity deep V Rims, 700x35 Kojak slick tire on the back, Benotto stem, Soma Major Taylor drop bar, S.San Marco Concor seat (Black suede) , NOS Malinard 1984 marked front hub with 700x23 tire mounted and bla bla bla.

But the Jewel! - No doubt, it´s the NOS Duomatic 2 Speed >>kick back< hub.

Honestly! - I don´t think i can create a more suitable and cool looking bike for the streets of Copenhagen . This is as god as it´s gets from me - this is it. But I´m also the man who thinks style and colors, are more important than brakes and light.....

Annnnnd Chekerd flaaaag....

There we go, my latest Race Car painting are ready.


A snap shop from the Palma Nova Showroom Cph. where the painting is on display.
Like the Wrenchmonkees painting, this piece of art is placed in surroundings where I think the atmosphere is 100%....

The Painting are up 4 $ALE.

Mullins Chain Drive

If you believe Harleys are meant to be started with a kick, you also know that 1200cc is rough for the pedal.... Many have discovered a pling kling klank repro pedal last maybe a season, or less... so what 2 do???

It looks like Mr. Mullins here is our savior...


Havn´t got a pedal yet but it sure look´s nice.

And so to say about this creation from Mullins Chain Drive...

The Finish Line.

My latest painting (Race Car) just need a little finish, and it´s ready for the Palma Nova Showroom.

Acrylic and Oil on canvas H150 x W200 cm.

To be continued -

After a good night out. There´s nothing like a quiet Sunny Sunday, and a ride to the ocean.






Enjoy the stuff that surrounds you.

Candy on a lazy day

There will always be different opinions when it comes to defining beauty....

But sweet curves and god proportions, never goes out of style.....


I know this Panhead, ain´t new stuff. But anyway, the pictures are relaxing to look at, it´s candy on a lazy day.

Painter and All-time Hero - James Rosenquist

It suddenly hit me, that Mr. James Rosenquist is must go on my All-time Hero list....


He is absolutely one of the greatest painters i know of, and a bonus! - he´s still alive...
In "the Old day" that wouldn't be cool for a Painter...


Rosenquist at work.

The title for this painting (1961): I Love You with my Ford.

Well of cause....

- I think the best thing is having an idea and not knowing how to make it. Because of that, some new form might appear. Whether it´s good, bad, banal, or fantastic, you can reflect on that and go further. Quote: James Rosenquist

I mounted some old trucks after paing them Orange. Put on some Powell street cubes, and added new camps

As far as I know, the 80th Pro skater Steve Olson, was a N.Y bike messenger once. But these day i think the hole gang, Caballero etc. are based in L.A doing art stuff and riding Harley´s... Seams familiar.....

Some people have it - others don´t.

The very special gift to see true beauty in old mechanical parts...

Now you have a unique possibility to discover if you have that ability!

Look very slowly, and concentrated at the 3 following pictures i´ve taken.

Now! - If you now stoped breating, and have a certain tickling feeling in your chest - You got it man! congratulation...

If not! - to bad for you.....

This is my new/old S&S 264 Two-Throat carburetor, for the Panhead.
It´s not just beautyfull, it´s a mechanical master piece of art...

Skateboarding in Australia

Sometimes when you look through old boxes to find something you think you might have - you find something you forgot you had!

A discovery like that can sometime make you very happy, and then you forget what you were looking for in the first place....

Take forexample this old skateboard. It was my transportation when I lived i Surfers Paradise Australia for a while. I remember I did the freehand illustrations after a good day on the beach and a couple of beers... Then the beers took over and it was never finished. Good time - Good fun - Great Place, Down Under...

The Quentin Tarantino painting

After posting the photos below, it strucked my mind that I after the premiere of Quentin Tarantino´s Death Proof movie (and that´s a while ago...) emidiatly started this painting.

Unfortunately some other painting came in its way, and it was rolled together.
I totally forgot about it until today... Maybe it´s worth finishing!?
