The Harley 45" Mobilgas Bobber


I´m helping a friend these days with painting some old style inspired logo´s on his 45" gas and oil tank.


Base color.

A illustrator drawn logo i made, with 3B pencil on the back to transfer some guidelines, to the tank.

Pin Stripes only on the rear fender.

Finished hand painted Harley logo,

and freestyle Mobilgas Pegasus.

I really look forward to see this bike finished this spring. It´s has huge potentials to be one of the coolest Harley Bobbers on the streets of Copenhagen..

And i´ll for sure keep U updated.

The Secret.... shhhhhh

It happens that Peter Jackson and Mr. Spielberg is making a movie based on the comic book TinTin and The Secret of The Unicorn.

Premiere 2011 - So a little forecast is everything original Tin Tin art etc. will rise in value.

Properly also the interest in Old ships, sailor tattoo´s and ship paintings will reach new people!
What obvious is great news, cause great ol´ships, and ship paintings are way to neglected.


This is a painting i made - and a Ship Painting it is....

It´s up for sale - but hurry up!... the price will rice after the movie premiere... cause it´s called -

THE UNICORN....

See the painting, and more of my art stuff on the official site Here.

Jaguar SUPER 5

Not so many people are aware of Jaguar XJS interior

But it does!
And why do I know this kind of unimportant information concerning 2 cars from the 80th that most people happily forgotten all about....


Well! - I needed some new seats for my Renault 5 you see here -
and why not use a little "cat" skin to make it more cozy....

Money or not - there will be a lot of Bike racing this season all over Europe, and we´ll be there, that I know for sure...

So keep up the Pace in the workshops, the studios, the banks or whatever you do, just get that bike ready too.....

The City to Visit

My latest painting (Højbro Plads 1890-2010) is a scenery from Copenhagen, and having mentioned Copenhagen, I noticed this -

Copenhagen is #5 on the New York Times 2010 Where 2 Go list. great!
Congratulation to Cph...



Even Skt. Hans Torv/Skt. Hans square, AKA my front door, and my old bicycle in the corner there! is mentioned. Yeahhh Funky

In that occation I´ll show you an 2002 painting I made from the square.


The painting are enjoying itself in Switzerland these days, owned by a collector.


This is what New York Times wrights about our town.


5. Copenhagen

As thousands of environmentalists heckled world leaders in Copenhagen last month for the climate summit, a solitary unifying note could be heard amid the cacophony of discord: the Danish capital has already emerged as one of the world’s greenest — and maybe coolest — cities.

Copenhageners don’t simply preach the “progressive city” ethos, they live it. Long, flat urban thoroughfares are hemmed with bicycle paths where locals glide around the city, tourists saddle up on the free bikes that dot the city center, and fashion bloggers take notes on the latest cycle chic (see copenhagencyclechic.com). Over in the harbor district, a public bath at Osterbro, due to open in 2010, will complement the two swimming areas set off on Copenhagen’s inner harbor, a formerly polluted waterway recently transformed into the city’s summertime hub.

Away from all the modernism and the happy cyclists, cultural thrill-seekers are being coaxed to the once dangerous district of Norrebro, which has arguably become Copenhagen’s edgiest hub. A heady mix of hipsters, students and immigrants mingle in the cafes and galleries around the district’s focal square, Sankt Hans Torv, and the city’s young and excitable night owls can be found dancing in local clubs until the early hours. — Benji Lanyado

I can only say - saddle up and come visit us this summer.


Don´t forget to bring your camera...

A Good Day on the Square

After a good workday in the atelier, there´s nothing like "a coffee break - on the square"...

Jan 18, 2010

Traveling Back in Time -

A new painting is on its way.

The motif I´m doing is a modern version of a old Paul Fischer painting
(Højbro Plads - Copenhagen) from 1890.
Its work on commission so the format has changed a little from the original.


This is the Original painting is from the Danish artist Paul Fischer 1860 - 1935.

Notice the building in the Back, no roof cause the building burned in 1886.




Before I started the painting I made a quick time travel back 100 year to the center of Copenhagen to do some research before I started up on the painting.

Then I discovered - Something just don´t change in our town..


The traffic is still heavy in the streets, just like today.


People are still getting tattooed


And we are still having a party when it´s possible....
That hasn´t changed for sure.


This square is Højbroplads Cph.
Same square the Fischer Painting are made on.
This photo is from 1918 and if you notice the tower on Christians Borg (one of the main buildings in Cph) it´s being rebuild after the fire i mentioned before in 1886


If you look at this picture i took yesterday, you can see they have not finished the work on the tower yet....


You know why?!


Cheers buddy...

Come Ooooon - you can Do It! One more and then we go back to work....

May the Best Man Win...

We know the Dakar Race is on these days.
This year from Argentina - Chile.

Absolutely one of the races love most



If I´ll join the mad men one day, it will be on a ol´ camel like this...


Or in this!

May the best man win...

--------

As a bonus to this Post, Actionsoul made a commend and send a link to this 80th Paris-Dakar picture.


And 2 of them made it through the finish line... that´s the spirit, amazing.
And the hit rate is actually better, than 4 of the Bobber Boys on a Sunday ride...


- can you find anything with smaller wheels for this challenge!!!!!! Damn - there´s a long way to Dakar this way....


And why haven´t we seen any Hot Rods at the Rally - A Rod would also be a excellent choice for a dessert racer - you just need to modify it a little, like this sketch I made... But Hey! - you always have to, no matter what car you chose...rally or not.

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...

when they come back, and can´t find the engine, they have to buy Christmas beer for everybody...

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

Wish list:

To whom it may concern / Santa...


Buddyseat with stars, schirts and everything, and a set of chorme 50th wheel discs.


and a 3,2,1 Linkert setup.

That would be all!

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.

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

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!

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.......

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...

The Sketchbooks

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

21st April, 1969


What i like in this letter from Mick Jagger to Mr. Andy Warhol is the following phrases:

I leave it in your capable hands to do what ever you want.......and please write back saying how much money you would like.

How great!
