Leather - wallet/card holder - Koi Fish


Just finished a wallet/card holder for someone very special as a gift... chosed the "Koi Fish" as a motive since it often has the meaning of "good fortune"... and symbolic in the Buddhism to represent courage.. and japanese myth says the koi fish will transfere into a protective dragon.. :-) The leather looks a little dry, but that is just the poish, and will look a lot better with a little usage.. hope it will be well used.

Leather - CD cover


I finally got the CD cover I designed for Supermarine Spitfire and the CD is released in the stores. Critics are all over pretty good and I have seen them live once, and they where pretty damn tight! Reminds me of old Soundgarden..

Leather seat with pinstriping design...


Almost finished with a new leather seat with a pinstriping
motive for a custom Harley Sportster built by CBB... it still needs to
be polished and bolted to the seat pan..


Abow, the seat finished, bolted and attached to the Harley. The seat pan is custom and hand made for this bike, so all of this is one of a kind.

Goldleaf & Painting


It´s far from finished yet, but it needs to dry for a few days. It´s all painted by hand with 1-shot enamel with ordenary paint brushes to get the "rough" look.. so it wont get that "perfect" and flat airbrush look...

Testing the "Rust Chopper"


Gert´s Rust Chopper from Redneck Bikes Norway is about to be finished. I´ve pinstriped the tank and the back fender and had to test ride the driving position.. It feels great and is going to be an awsome ride with a suicide shifter! The rust paint looks identical as real rust..

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!
