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.. :-)

Road Trip to Bike Fest 2010

We are planning a new Road Trip to Bike Fest in Trondheim, 21st. to 23rd of May 2010. We had an awsome ride last year and hope even more people with all kinds of bikes will join us this year. Last years trip resulted in an article in Biker Journalen as well as getting some new friends and some funny experiences. Se more pictures from the trip here. Are you interested to join our trip, read all about it at Redneck Bikes Norways web pages. There is also an article about it at MC24.no.

Pinstriping Brushes

A friend of mine bought some pinstriping brushes for me yesterday at a stor up North. They have probably been in the store for ages and I guess they are kind of "old". Anyone got any idea which brand these brushes are?

Scanbike Magazine - Rust Bike

The "rust" bike I pinstriped for Redneck Bikes Norway is featured with a four pages article in the latest issue Scanbike Magazine (Issue 1 - 2010)

New Leather Seat Project...

A new leather seat and a leather pad project is comming up.. The seat will be tooled with the famous Motorhead skull. This one is for Runar at Høyangbjørn MC in Høyanger. "Bønna" (CBB) at the same club has customized the bike with a 260 rear tire and made a one of a kind seat pan for this Harley Davidson. Stay tuned for updates and progress pictures..

New project comming up..

A new projekt is on the way.. This bike will get a simple and classic black and white paint with a custom made logo, silver leaf and some pinstriping.. The silver will probably be twirled as well. Probably finished in the end of February and will be shown at Elmia - Custom Motor Show 2010. Then shipped to France where the owner will ride it.. The frame is a Redneck Bikes Bobber frame and will be built with a Buell XB12.

Pinstriping - Harley Ironhead Bobber

I Pinstriped the flames and iron cross on this Harley Davidson Ironhead Bobber which Kristian from KSLakk painted. The bike is built by Frederic Fontarosa and it´s built out of a 81 XLH Sportster. Featured in the latest issue of BikerJournalen with the front cover and a three pages article. Below a picture of the finished bike captured last summer.

Marius Mellebye - Music

After three long years without even touching my musical equipment, I met this very special person which really inspired me a lot in many different ways. Because of that I finally started creating music again.. I don´t have a record deal in my pocket this time, so no cynical producers, greedy lawyers or monkey business for now.. just music and composing whatever I feel like and for whoever which inspires me..

Feel free to leave a comment or some constructive criticism.. Would love to hear what you think!

Roadtrip - Oslo - Trondheim - Oslo

From our roadtrip May 2009. We started from Bærum, just outside Oslo about 10 AM. Then we was on our way to Trondheim and Bike Fest and back to Oslo again in one weekend. All together we was on the hardtail bikes for 745 US Miles (120 Mil) Used about 12 houres to Trondheim and about 14 Houres back again... There are also an article in the latest issue of Biker Journalen from our roadtrip.. More info on the motorcycles can be found at Redneck Bikes Norway.

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.

Goldleaf/Pinstriping - Skateboard

30th anniversary gift for Høyangbjørn MC from me and Lowbrows MC..

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.

Pinstriping - Fender & Headlight

Pinstriping a front fender and headlight for a good friends Harley Davidson custom chopper... it will appear on this bike.

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...

Painting - Belt Cover

Painted a belt cover for a friends custom chopper. It was originally a Jesse James cover, but the JJ motive was grinded down... The credit for the original design should go to: David Lozeau

Pinstriping Bobber

I pinstriped a friends bobber just for fun.. it was not planned, but why not. It´s a classic Bobber, with a rough style. It will probably get a total new paint job and look some time next winter. Pinstriping, Goldleaf etc.. We´ll see what we come up with.

Leather - Gas tank mount and Belt Cover

A leather patch that will be attached the back bone on a Harley Davidson "hippie" chopper frame as a gas tank mount.. and belt cover.
