Swedish Ironhead

They built some pretty wild and wicked choppers in Sweden back in the day (and still do of course!).
This Sportster, a prime example of swedish engineering, was featured in a 1974 issue of my prefered reading in those days; Colorod magazine.

The text in the lower picture reads "Ove Nilsson´s masterpiece, the Super Sportster"




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!

Unfinnished racer for sale HERE (in Sweden). A bit too expensive for me, but a cool project if you got the dough and want to go racing

DDR moped and my head scanned

It´s been a bit low on the blogfront lately. Been running a bit low on both time and blogable material. Here´s a moped from DDR and my face scanned in my desktop scanner.
Maybe I should get my head scanned for real..?

Uncle Berka´s Fun Shop

Ok!

It´s time for the annual Christmas shopping craze.
And you know you want gifts that nobody else has, don´t you?
And you know you don´t want to go out and fight all the other crazy Christmas shoppers that go totally bananas in the shopping-mall, don´t you?

Then here´s the solution for you:

My webshop - Uncle Berka´s Fun Shop - is now really up and running and there I promise you, you can get weird, cool and artyfarty stuff, that absolutely none of your friends already have.



Here are a couple of examples of what you can get:

the Dream-T

the PanSkull-pendant

the book "Mikä Helvetti Toion Saatana? Se On Chopperi, Saatana!"


Go THERE now!

the toilet in my studio

Ok, it´s not at all fit for doing the things you usually do when you go to the toilet, but it it kind of entertaining (at least as long as you don´t have to go...)
Thank you Kulturetaten in Oslo kommune (ok, that´s another piece of biting irony agains the people I rent my studio from, just in case you were wondering...)




p.s. it´s been that way for a couple of months now...

utställning i Oslo / exhibition in Oslo, Norway

There is an exhibition on in Oslo at the moment. It´s called "Take me to your leader" and is a jumble of art loosely related to space and aliens. Not a very good exhibition as a whole, but it still has some really good pieces. Here are some of them.


A small sized Darth with his light-sabre penetrating the complete collection of Harry Potter books...



Ilya Kabakovs masterpiece "The Man who Flew into Space from His Apartment"




two views of an cyborg alien by H.R. Giger



And, last but not least, the coolest item in the exhibition is really not an art object. It is a Lone Ranger Atomic Bomb ring from 1946. It´s said to actually hold some radioactive material.
I found the ad for the ring on the net (below)
