A couple a years ago I went with my good freind Adam, to Östereich on a Jeep camp. From Copenhagen to Faak am See, we passed the small city of Gemund where Ferdinad Porsche had his first small work i a old wooden garage. The garage is still open once i a while. Among all kind of Porsche speacialities, I only took photos of this awesome MARTINI painted 911 Porsche
Immediately I knew I had to paint something like that someday .
Unfortunately i don´t have the doe to buy a Porsche. So I took a old 10" Lucero Skateboard deck i´v had forever.
Repainted white, and masking tape.
Paint: Orange, light coral blue, and dark metallic Navy
As I was painting the deck, I remembered a old Porsche-Martini adverticement from the 70´s saying:
There are leaders and there are followers.
Life is really quite simple, isn´t it?Always liked that line. Life is really quite simple, if you think that way - isn´t it?
(Had the Porsche Martini ad in my sketchbook for years, knowing that I wanted to use the text one day.)
Then I just had to find the right parts for the skateboard - and what better to visit
Sean Goff ebay store as Sean rights:
I´ve been skating since ´76. Naver gave up. I now do this ebay shop full time, ( except when I´m away skating). I´m a skateboarder...... For life...That´s the spirit...
And Sean got the parts, a lot of rare NOS. Thanks Sean

Now we see Mr. Brad Pitt has finally seen the light. A Customized Harley-Davidson Panhead.
Welcome 2 the club Brad....Welcome home kid...
What a showroom! - some day - some day - ohhh yeahhhhhh...
I´ll shake my rattecans again, after watching, reading and wondering about, rise and fall of telented stars. How Fascinating - How Scary....(ref. M.Jackson´s funeral)
It´s no secret that Verner Pantons work and colors inspired a lot of us.
My "cube table" - I made 10 pieces of this table in different colors. It was ment as a sales table for clothes in Diesels fashion stores, but most of the tables ended up in private homes. The chairs are Verner Panton´s
A small corner of a Diesel 55 showrooms I made.
I only made 1 of these shelf - Super shiny and heavy as hell...
I made most of the funiture, and all of the interior design for the 3th Diesel flagship store in the world. Back then the first one opened in London, then N.Y and same weekend in Aarhus - Denmark.. A huge, but fun project. (This picture is taken from 2 floor, diesel female)
And here we go! - The master of colors and interior design.Verner Pantons restaurant Varna in Aarhus as well (on this pic.) Varna and the Diesel store are unfortunately gone now.
To me color is more important than form. However, this is not the case when I am looking at women...Quote Verner Panton
Hall way in Pantons home in Basel Switzerland.
Verner Panton Swimming pool.
A letter I recived form Panton. The round blue chip was Pantons business cards in plastic.
Choosing colors should not be a gamble.
The first one is always a little special, you don´t forget them that easy... The first one always one of the best... Took this photo back then by the old Arne Jacobsen Gas-station from 1936 in Klampenborg.
We like books, but love pictures! - so this new masterpiece from Rebel Motorcycles Ltd is a must have on the coffee table, or on the sunbed by the pool.
It arrived at my door today and I can only say if you like cool Old School motorbikes BUY THIS BOOK today!
