Roadside Norway/Sweden

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

Been busy working at the dump lately. Not much time for fun, but loads of nice free stuff...

great leather

Flash Gordons soldering gun

Beeza

Honda (?)

Rocka Hula baby

Art deco

at last I got my own locker

happy man bank

the Norwegian lion

mini bottles

iron with light holes...

more junk

I just love old things, especially when I get them for free...

probably the best band picture, ever

Aureosen and my first cod

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...

...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!

been busy...

...hanging my latest solo exhibition: He´s Gone to See a Man About a Dog



But now it´s finished and I can relax with the latest issue of our favourite mag
