A hammer, with a face.



The hammer is enjoying a day out in the green of deep summer.

The cobrasituation will change.



A big cobra and some evil going on. Slightly rougher than most of my work, just trying to be careless and cool, like a cobra on the back of some rebels jeanjacket in 78.
The other thing is a wizzard of sorts, transforming a woman into a deadhead. She might have been atractive and she might have had all the 50s style, but all he wants is to see a skull.

Close to the law



The deputy loves the cheerleader, but she wants something else out of life. Walking in the woods with her gay friend (the coolaid mug) she tells about how she wants to move on, get an education and live a life outside of that little town where the bring you up to do just what your parents did. But the deputy is drunk on power and weak american beer and he`s tired of all the girls wanting to leave and this one has gotten so close to his heart for some reason, so this is where it stops.

Some kids, learning about a wicked cool lifestyle/sport/hobby



Back to the 80s here and a skateshop in Strømstad, Sweden. At that time skate boarding was a crime in Norway, but "Back to the future" came and tore down that berlinwall. I never got good at the sport, but its graphics, colors and adventure really spoke to me.
The other kids in this picture are Erlend, Espen, Frode and Kristian. All of us are sporting brilliant hairstyles and its plain to see that the t-shirts and what not of the skateboardingera had yet to put any flavor on our clothingstyle. Its a important moment in the lives of these young guys really, as we look out into a world where you could be something else, not just the regular kid with clothing from the Cubus childrens department and a musical taste taken from "ti i skuddet".

The bonerangel bride and the symbolic fish.



A little shack and some skeletonwomen, comming out for a wedding under one of those symbolic fish the native americans used to like. Orko from the masters of the universe looks on with distaste for the whole event. Its hardly needed to mention that the man with the red west made this whole thing happen. And who will marry the skeleton ?. Well, thats you dear reader.
The skeletonwomen I drew while looking at those dia de los muertos dolls they make. Im a big fan of these dollmakers and the skeletons they create. One fine day I hope to see the day of the dead in person, down in Mexico, drunk and/or sick in some way in the insane heat..

The woodshed.. Dont go in there, even if it seems like good fun.



This picture is about a woodshed, just outside of a major city, but close enough to be within reach of all kinds of sinister goings on. You see these belts of nature and rural buildings from time to time on your way out of a big city and its very easy to imagine some downtown rogue thinking hes in way out in the country when he gets to these places and feels that he can hide his "stash" or dispose of unwanted people, but then he might get freaked out if he comes in contact with some animals. And animals get fooled in to places like this, looking for easy food from dumpsters and such.
The background of this picture is painted with a metallic purple that really make it shine in the right light.

Jungleshark blue.



This is how I try to ride the wave of vintage tattoo-cool. I threw in some snakes, skulls and all kinds of cool stuff to seem like a badass. The crazy background is made with some neon spraypaint.
