Krugger...some work shots...

Thanx Fred for sending the pics.
Really enjoyed doing this handpainted lettering on Fred's latest bike, the Harper.
Meanwhile, Fred & the bike have made a european tour, to germany, sweden and France...
So if you wanna see and read more about this bike, check all major motorcycle magazines.

Wanna see the details of the paintjob I did, check one of the previous posts, think the post title is Harper...the newest Krugger Creation, posted in March.
Later!




Blaster's Panhead

Earlier this week, Blaster (yes The Pinstriper) from Italy
send me some pics of his newly painted chopper.
The previous version had a dark blue (or was it purple) with lotsa
goldleaf and striping.
This second paintjob is by the hand of the Master himself from flakes to stripes...
Guess sixties & seventies paintjobs are magic if you're into it.
I for one am wild about them.
This is one very nice paintjob with Blaster written all over it. KOOL!!!

Can't exactly find the specs on the rest of the bike, hope I do soon though.
But one thing's for sure...It doesn't get any better than this!!!

Some kustom weekend pictures


These are the two panels I made for the Artshow. Should have been 4 but I didn't finish all of them in time.



Max asked me to paint a Program display for the weekend, so I did it Cheapo Style by looking in Garbage Containers for a decent panel to paint on.
This suitcase was perfect for it. (Got some really shocking looks while pulling it out of the container though:-)))

One of those moments that made a super weekend...Thanx Guys.
From left to right: Blaster, Alex (Al's Tikis) Mr Kool, myself & my wife Cindy.
