2010 coming on strong...

another filled up spot in the shop....

is my next chopperproject...another one to sit for a while...
been having some early seventies chopper flashes in the last months...
long girder or springer...coffin shaped tank, king 'n queen seat...
and four upswept fishtails...should do the trick I guess...
wait (a pretty long time) and see...

From the darkest corner of the shop....

you get this view these days....might turn up completely different next week, but for now I enjoy the view a lot.

Since the snow kept us in for a couple of days, I kinda felt the urge to lay down some fresh lines...

Karin's Brown Flaked Avenger helmet











Kevin's Honda Dax...more to come soon...























Some new artwork for the upcoming Verona Bike Expo in Italy!
Will be sharing the booth with Blaster and Etienne "Empire32"
januari 15-17th 2010

New from the brush....

Been working on Thunder Choppers' new bike a couple of weeks back.
the way cool base coat in goldshifting green was a perfect canvas to paint on.
Pretty anxious to see the pics of the finished chopper...stay tuned.

On the road

somewhere near Antwerp last week...made me think of the saltlakes...only just a drop colder...

Longbed Pickups

Been searching the net for some kool pickups...in desperate need of a more practical ride...
To be Continued!

some older paint

Came accross these images...
Martin's 70ies fiberglass gastank I painted some years ago...
my first ever freaky paintjob.
Martin has has numerous bikes in the meantime, but the tank is still on his garagewall.

Another fresh gastank....

this one's up for sale...

Brandnew narrow mustangstyle tank, silverflaked with purple candy, panels, lacing, scales and more eyekandy...high shine finish. Pretty much universal fit ( or some minor framemods)

I'm stoked with the new looks.....

Check out the differences...

Krugger's Overmile...

Earlier this year I did the lettering on Fred's "Overmile" project.
Another great ride from Basse Bodeux...perfect streettracker bike for them

Ride out....

Some time ago we rode out with some friends to a James Intvelt gig in Holland...
Great fun riding with Bow, Willem and Kuif...hitting the pittoresk city center full throttle...damn those dudes really rode the hell out of this old shit.
Bow on his Pan, Willem & his Early shovel and Kuif burnin' it on his Liberator bobchop....and me trying to hang on for dear life!
