How Fun! - Just realized that my old skateboard hero Stevie Caballero is making Hot Rod and Bike art these days...I actually still have this old Powell "Tail Cut" Caballero standing as a "art pice" in my hall way. The board is from my Skating Hay-Days in the late 80´s.. .Only god knows why, I painted Zebra stripes over the cool Cab dragon graphic...dam... But Hey! Zebra´s was properly hot back then... The board is equipped with NOS Tracker Trucks, and purpel Street Bones Cubes...uuhhhh sweet 80´s
Here´s the Caballero picture i "bloged" into. Check out his stuff - Here.
Talking about Stewart Warner and Old style Speedo´s - I made this Painting (Acrylic and Oil on canvas H55 x 50 cm) for my good friend Johnny´s birthday. Thank´s again Old Stewart for the inspiration.
Wanted a speedo for the Panhead, so my friend Allan (KillerBobbers) gave me a Tombstone speedo. I made a new 1-12 Mph graphic and printed it on a folio, mounted that on the back side of the glass, painted white, and piele of the folio. The base plate is painted metallic brown. I kept the needle 100% plastic orange... Pure Old Style Stewart Warner Wannabe ....Custom Custom hell yeah...
Moen (Mr. Indian Parts Europe) the man to ask! - he just knows stuff... Indians, Triumph, and Harleys, and he got a bunch of cool spareparts and stuff for sale. Moen is actually selling his Hot Rod - Goooooo. I made the Red IPE Logo for him.
My friend Lars i building this Blower Indian, made for the Bonneville Salt lake race this year. What a project - Amazing. I Designed the SALT CRACKER logo, and salut to the color combi. WE LOVE YELLOW and GT stripes as well.
I bought this old empty grenade on a fleemarked and painted it like a old French porcelain vase. I mounted a light pulp and there we go! - a Boom lamp for the girlfriend..
I do a lot of lettering and striping for my good friends at Wrenchmonkees
Experiments with my new 0000 mac wizard brush.
My 1949 Panhead Bobber as it looks today.
When I put a Keihin CV cab on my bike i wanted a Oldstyle logo on it. Unfortunately there don´t exist a cool oldstyle logo so i made this up. This is painted with help from a Mac cut folio. that´s why it looks to much like a sticker....
Caltex and STP logo hand painted. Painted with hand cut folio (air brush) and Motip spray paint.
I painted this Gold and sand, with a home invented orange scallop. The Edelbrock Equipped and Caltex logo was hand painted. No sticker no folio.. Old school style
My Panhead waiting for new colors.
This 3,5 gallon tank I rattelcan painted and pinstriped. The green logo was hand cut in folio and painted on. I rattelcan painted most of this 3,5 gallon, but also a little pinstriping on the scallops and a 24 carat gold logo was added under the 5 layers of clear coat. All hand made.
One more tank I made in Old style look. 1930 Bird graphic on a 3,5 gallon.
This tank i´v painted, patinated and made it rust, before it got a layer of wax. The tank was new.
