Agent Orange

I went to a car and bike show today. I had a feeling it would be no good and I was kind of right, at least when it came to the bikes: 15-20 overcustomized evos with really fat tires out back, not really my cup of tea, you see. But there were some nice cars and for some reason a whole bunch of them was painted my favorite color:

more vintage graphic design

If you can read this, my beard´s too short

If you can read this, my beard´s too short, is the title of a multiple artwork I just made for Snowball Editions. Check out the rest of it HERE.
If you find the price a bit steep for a T-shirt, I want you to keep in mind it´s a handpainted artpiece, in a signed and numbered edition of only 12...

And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying

"And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes?
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,
Had they got you hypnotized?"

recumbent trike

I kinda like the stance of this recumbent bicycle trike. Why are those backwheels leaning inwards, it looks wicked, any possibility of doing that on a motorised vehicle..?

nice Moto Guzzi

Every day when I walk my youngest kid to school I walk past this cool Moto Guzzi café racer.

Colorod

The swedish motor magazine I used to drool over when I was a kid. This is #4 from 1972 (when I was 7 years old). Colorod was about both cars and bikes, and as you can see this issue featured 9 choppers.



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!

masonic mystery box

Sometimes I just can´t help myself.



I walked past a small curiosity shop, not far from where I live, today. It was quite strange actually, because even though I´m quite fascinated by antiques and curiosities, I never saw the little shop before. I noticed something fascinating in the window and I went in. The owner, an old man sitting in a corner inside, smoking, told me the shop had been located there the last twelve years...

I got the feeling I had been transported to an old american horror comic book from the 1950s. There´s always this guy who sees something strange in the window of a curiostity shop he never noticed in the neighborhood before. He walks in and the old man behind the counter says the shop´s been there forever. The main caracter of the comic buys the strange object he saw in the window. Weird things start happening and when the guy returns to the shop to inquire furter about the object he bought, the shop is nowhere to be found, and an old woman, sitting on a bench near by, says she´s been living in that street all her life and there never was a curiosity shop there.

That´s kind of the feeling I got.

And I just had to buy this strange little box you can see in the picture above. It´s obviously masonic, with the square and the compass and the capital G, but the box is kind of upside down, the lid is where the bottom should be, or better said: the ornamentaion on the sides of the box is upside down. The box is made of lead, with walls almost a centimeter thick, and even though it´s rather small, ca 15 x 15 x 15 cm, it weighs a ton (not litterally, mind you). The owner of the shop claimed to be a mason himself, showing me his masonic ring, but saying that he did not know what the box was used for in the lodge, but he said he thought it was perhaps to keep something very hot in. I got an eerie feeling he knew more than he was telling me.

So now I just have to wait for the weird things to start happening!

Is there an Amazing Finger Bobber? What does that do? Just cut the nail maybe...
