Lettering - Hick Town

A few days in Hick Town, messing with my friends rust painted Cheverolet C10 Pickup.. Started to paint a logo I designed for him :-)

Chalkboard Sign at il moro

Wasting some quality time at my favourite coffee shop "il moro" in Oslo and the owner asked if I wanted to do a chalkboard sign.. haven´t been playing with chalk since the school days, but the owner was happy about it and then I guess I should be too.. the other side will be done when having the next coffee. Guess I should wear my "will work for coffee" sign...

Lettering - Betty Boom Boom

Started to do some lettering on my friends shotgun.. "Betty Boom Boom" as the shotgun is from his grandmother Betty.. it´ll be the only gun I´ll ever spill some paint on..

Gold Leaf & Lettering

Added gold leaf, outline and lettering to Arilds Harley Davidson Sportster gas tank.. pinstriping next and then deliver it to the custom builder which will put the Showel Bobber together..

Used 1-shot Ivory, a mix of Emerald green and black for the outline, a mix of black and super gloss tinting clear for shadow to make them a little transparent and 1- shot gold size for the gold leaf..

Gilding - Pinstriping

Gold leafing a wooden box to keep my pinstriping and lettering equipment and paint.. my dad built the box in the early 70´s to store his drawing equipment, but now it´s mine and keeps to store creative equipment..

Pinstriping - Silver Leaf Bobber

Schetching out the letters and numbers on the gas tank. Then I pinstripe it with gol leaf size and make it ready for silver leaf. Same thing with the frame from Redneck Bikes Norway. The silver leafed logo on the back fender is the same as the owners tattoo, which is illustrating the first letters of both his kids..

House of Kolor - Pinstriping Enamel

This will be my very first attempt with HOK pinstriping enamel for a Redneck Bikes Norway Bobber project I will do in a couple of weeks. It won´t be much of a pinstriping job tho, but used as outline for a silver leaf motive and numbers.. HOK is legendary and their reputation is top of the line, but I have usually used 1-Shot enamel until now and got pretty much used to it. These two microscopic cans of 4 Fl. Oz. cost me nothing less than $110, so this shit better be fantastic.. :-)

Copper leaf - Sportster Gas tank

This was made to honour Jeff McCann which was the inspirator for me to begin with this. He sent me two of his favourite pinstriping brushes (Mack Series #10), which was my forst two brushes.. I have learned a lot from him and Jeff have now become a friend. Even tho he doesn´t customize Harley´s and other custom motorcycles anymore, his work will stand out for many years to come. Check out his amazing work here and you can read more about him here, you wont regret if you are interested in custom paint and building motorcycles! As Jeff always says, Motorcycles Forever!
