Blue Feeling

2012-01-25T00:54:00.000-08:00

A really nice Sportster chop, from the swedish magazine Wheels, january 1978.
Hand made in Sweden, no bolt-on parts here...

I do not watermark my scans because I think it´s ugly and the pictures aren´t really mine to start with, I just scan them from old mags and publish them. So, feel free to steal and reblog my scans, but please do not put your own watermarks on them, and please remember to tell them where you found them! Thanks!

Oops! Wow!

2012-01-16T01:24:00.000-08:00

I subscribe to a couple of high quality magazines about motorcycles... I love these small format mags and sometimes when I get one of them in the mail, I don´t even take a quick peek, but I save it for later when I have good time and can really enjoy it. Last weekend I read the latest issue of Dice, my absolute favourite of these mags, that I actually got a couple of weeks ago...

Lo And Behold!!!

Towards the end of the mag I see something that almost makes me fall off my chair: My own litte book, "Mikä Helvetti Toion Saatana", is actually in the "Reviews..." section! Of course I shouldn´t be that surprised, since I sent the book to the guys at Dice myself, but I never dreamt that they would actually put it in the mag. I´m deeply honored: Thank You!

This probably also explains why I got a couple of book orders lately...

You too can own this little book, now endorsed by Dice magazine...

Just go HERE and place your order now!

p.s. just a note: the soundtrack for the book is NOT on a CD, you can listen to it or download it for free HERE, and, by the way, the pictures are not taken in Finland, they are taken at Norrtälje Custom Bike Show, Sweden, but most, though not all, of the bikes are finnish.

"Dollar" Sullivan

2011-08-31T02:46:00.000-07:00

This time I have dug really deep down into my collection of Swedish motor magazines from my own childhood/youth. I´ve published stuff from the mag Colorod before, but there were actually other mags as well, even if Colorod was absolutely the best. There were also Power! and Wheels (and some more that I won´t go into now). Today I have scanned from both Colorod (1976), Power! (1977) and Wheels (1978), but the bike is the same from all three of the mags.

I would go so far as to say that it´s probably one of the most legendary Swedish choppers ever. It´s "Dollar" Sullivans Triumph, nothing too exteme, but a really clean and cool chopper from the golden age. At the bottom of the page is my own photographic interpretation of the bike. I took the blurry pic with my Kodak Instamatic at Hot Rod Show in Stockholm, Sweden, some time in the late seventies.

My beard T-shirt was in an text-/artfair last weekend in Oslo (TA 11). You can still buy it HERE, but it´s still expensive (there are only 12 handpainted copies of this one)...

I´m back...

2011-08-13T04:32:00.000-07:00

...from vacation.

Now here´s a great deal: The Ingemar Bergman box (a selection including 20 of his greatest movies) and a Black Sabbath box (the complete Ozzy years), both at half the sale-price... Buying those two would certainly make for a couple of really dark weeks I guess... The price in dollars would be approx. $150 for both (I seriously regret not having jumped on that deal...)

observe how both covers are black and both inlclude an image of Satan, below is Bergmans personal interpretation...

silence...

2011-07-23T09:09:00.000-07:00

today is silence, no words are sufficient

Yesterday more than 90 of my fellow norwegians, mostly young people, lost their lives in a terror attack in Oslo. The terrorist was a white, norwegian born, right wing extremist.

2011-06-07T13:06:00.000-07:00

... broke in to my studio the other day.

Stolen: two knives, a pin gun, a baseball bat, a hammer, a competition sling shot and a level

Not stolen: a Marshall amp, a german WWII helmet, a nice jacket with kevlar in it, some masonic memorabilia, an art deco lamp, a trombone, a distillation apparatus and my collection of live herbs (no; nothing illegal there) and lots and lots more good stuff.

Sometimes, in spite of everything, you are just plain lucky...

The only thing that really irritates me is that they stole the saw-fish-saw that I found at work the other day, I liked that strange object

leeches

2011-05-29T11:37:00.000-07:00

Happened on a farmaceutical museum today. As you know, I love old stuff...

Live leeches (sorry about the bad focus, my camera thought I wanted to film what was behind the aquarium...). According to the lady in the museum, leeches have three jaws with 270 teeth, ten eyes, two hearts and, last but not least: 32 (!!!) brains... Beat that!

A nice example of the so called "car-pillow". These were very popular in Scandinavia in the 50s and 60s. Either they were embroidered with traffic signs, or - like this one - decorated with patches from trawels around europe.

A great and highly functional drum made from animal hide and an old paint can.

A hanger with a kind of strange form.

Extra gas, anyone?

A nickel silver butterfly napkin holder.

Amanda lear... Anyone remember Amanda Lear..?

A wooden bench that someone put some time making, not a professional, I´d say, but quite nice anyway.

Colorod..? Sawfish!

2011-05-26T02:18:00.000-07:00

Just a few words... I know it´s been a while since I last posted scans from the Swedish 70s motormagazine Colorod. That´s not because I don´t have more, it´s just that I have the rest in my summerhouse in Sweden. Going there in a couple of weeks or so, so keep your pants on, there´s more coming.

In the meantime: A sawfish saw!

I went to the border between Sweden and Norway yesterday. I´m going to do a public commision in a customs station, but I´ll get back to that when I have pictures.

Roadside I found these large scale sculptures:

a really huge (compare to the trucks) soldier at Charlottenberg

a sitting troll in Morokulien

and last but not least: a naive, large scale tribute to Kurt Cobain at Magnor

(not really... it´s supposed to be a man blowing glass)

even more things

Aureosen and my first cod

2011-04-23T01:27:00.000-07:00

We went to visit my fatherinlaw, who lives in Aureosen, on the west coast of Norway.
Quite impressive scenery.

I´m no fisherman, but I had a try and I actually caught my first cod ever

On our way home we stopped at a crowded curiousity shop.

The shop´s run by an old greybeard called Alfred (that´s Alfred to the right, my beautiful wife to the left...)

Norrtälje Custom Bike Show...

2011-04-12T08:54:00.000-07:00

...or Twin Clubs Show as it was then called, 37 years ago...

It was great then (judging from the pics, I was only 9 years old at the time, drooling over my magazines) and it´s still one of the best shows in europe. In a couple of months it´s time again (always the first saturday of june).

Pictures from Colorod issue 4, 1974

I do not watermark my scans because I think it´s ugly and the pictures aren´t really mine to start with, I just scan them from old mags and publish them. So, feel free to steal and reblog my scans, but please do not put your own watermarks on them, and please remember to tell them where you found them! Thanks!

Get yours HERE

went to Paris...

2011-03-23T03:13:00.000-07:00

... visited Verte d´Absinthe, a small shop on a side street in Marais. Very nice shop with an extremely knowledgeable, helpful and english speaking owner. I strongly recommend a visit if you come to Paris and if you are interrested in the Green Muse.

Swedish chopp 1974

Haven´t got much time these days, but here´s another quick one from Colorod. Issue 4, 1974.

another beer...

2011-03-08T09:56:00.000-08:00

I think finally I see a pattern here...

work, work, work (fun)

2011-03-01T23:52:00.000-08:00

Posting will be a bit slow the next couple of weeks. I´m working on stuff for a solo-exhibition I´m having in Hamar, Norway, opening 2. april. If your interrested, you can follow the process at my other blog: He´s Gone To See A Man About A Dog

What now?

2011-02-28T01:02:00.000-08:00

Ok, now I´m a bit confused... A week ago I had a beer, where the bottle cap had a drawing of a raised fist on the inside (see THIS blogpost). I saw it as a message for me to "fight the power".

This weekend I had another one of the same type of beer, and guess what... This is what I found on the inside of the cap (see picture below). W.T.F? Confusing... Another political hand sign, but of a totally other significance... Now what do I do?

vintage b/w swedish choppers

2011-02-27T03:24:00.000-08:00

A couple more from Colorod issue 2, 1971. Unfortunately just black/white this time. "ye purple ghost" was built by swedish chopper legend "Dollar" Sullivan.

Got two packages from Sweden in the mail today. One was this little surprise that I actually won in a quiz over at the Magneto Zoo blog. Go check it out, it´s cool!

Thanks, the pin is exellent!

Fight the Power

2011-02-21T12:12:00.000-08:00

Had a bottle of beer last night. Found this little drawing on the inside of the cap... strange...

Must be a sign!
