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!

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...
