London is the reason

This weekend we went to the London convention. Usually we have a great time there. This time...not so much. You see, a few days earlier I was foolish enough to stand outside in the cold and rainy weather painting the frames for the artshow mentioned in the previous post (SOOO stoked to be in that!!)...wearing short sleeves!! Great idea! Awesome! Well thought out plan chap! Well of course I caught a cold which not only gave me the worst plugs in my ears on the flight but also meant that I had to cancel working on the first day, Friday! Sucked BIG TIME! Fortunately that meant that I could walk around and talk to people and buy stuff. All the things that I never have time to do on the conventions. I hadn't booked any one in since I was just gonna do walk-ins from pre-drawn designs so no one had to get canceled. Saturday was better in the way that I actually did one tattoo. Felt better but wasn't in super shape so Amalie made sure that I didn't overworked myself as I usually would. That resulted in a few disappointed people but what can you do when your nose is running? Sunday I upped it and did two tattoos. That's right!!
To all of the people who I have met this weekend: I hope I didn't seem to far away in my head. I tried my best to be present the whole time but it was a bit hard once in a while. So I am sorry if I seamed a bit...off.

I am not really sure if this booking plan worked as I wanted it to so I don't know if I will do the same thing next year or try something else. I do know that I hate to disappoint people so I might think of something else. Sorry to all who had hoped to get tattooed! Maybe next time.

There wasn't much partying going on. Thursday night I was out and asleep before 10 at night. Never happens!! The rest of the weekend was pretty much, Dinner and off to bed. But it seamed like we weren't the only ones who were lacking energy this weekend so at least we didn't feel too guilty for not being the big party animals.
But it wasn't all bad. Good friends, nice customers and awesome people in general made it worth the trip and we also got a few awesome presents to bring home with us.

Adam Hays Gave me this bad boy!! AMAZING!!!! You rock dude!!

The picture is from his website.

Dan Smith gave us a print of the painting he did for a Sea Shepherd art show which is a good motivator for me to get started on doing one too. I have had planned to do a charity painting for Sea Shepherd for a looooong time now so this might help me to get started. Thanks Dan.

The best part is always to see those people we only see this one time a year. Even though it might only be for a few minutes it still means a lot. So to all our old friends, It was good to see you again, and to all our new friends, it is a pleasure to get to know you. See you all again next year.

So here they are: The 3 tattoos from this years London Convention!

The OHHHH so evil goat from hell! That's right EEEEEVIL!! Notice the upside down cross of BONES and the word WRATH written in dripping blood!! EVIL I TELL YOU...NOT CUTE!

Ok so we are back to the music video part! YAY!!! Right?? Well it's one live, one real video and one song with a fan made video but I wanna share these 3 songs.

These 3 should have been posted a while ago since we listened to that a lot...and I mean A LOT back a few weeks ago...but then again...we still do. So here is 3 of my shop favourites at the moment.

SCREAM FOR ME SAN FRANCISCO

Hi ya'll!
I'm back. Back from London. Back to a more daily routine. Back to this blog.

Before I get into all the things that I have been up to I would like to start with this post. This has been one of the reasons why there has been a lack of posts here on the blog. I have been invited to join a group show in San Francisco called "Scream With Me". It is an honour to be among these people, a lot of whom I really admire. I don't even understand that I was asked to be a part of this but I am stoked about it and I just wish I could be there myself to see the show. If it wasn't for our recent trip to the London convention (see following post) and our upcoming trip to Japan, I would take the trip to SF to be there at the opening. So if you find your self in the area please go check it out and represent me.
I was asked for 3 paintings so I decided to do a series around "scream". "I scream", "You Scream" and "We Scream". A bit cheesy perhaps but I hope people will look more at the paintings than the title. I'm not gonna spoil it for the gallery or the people who wanna go there so here is just a small tease but I can say this much...If you like chicks and corpse paint and bit of erotic then you might like these 3 paintings.


They will be for sale at the gallery so if you wanna own one of my originals framed in a nice matt black frame then here is your chance.

Here is the flyer.

Well, I'm not gonna let you hanging there after a tease so here is a painting I finished a while ago. Just got it framed today and finally got to blog it too. It is already hanging on our Conspiracy walls so come check it out if you are in the hood.


I was gonna continue my music video thing and I will but I think this is fitting for the post. Enjoy and see you soon. More posts are coming in a bit.

ohh shit she's a golddigger!!

Here it is! My latest life sign! I wanted to do a nice long post with what I have been up to but now I have to go to work. So once again, please be patient with me...more will come. But at least I have some picture for you to look at!! Right?!

Go see the rest of this piece on the conspiracy inc blog soon!

Aussie neck.

Swedish leg on a leg...and tits...no, really!

This Aussie was supposed to get a neck piece but ended up getting this instead.

I have been wanting to post this video for ages...well since it came out but havn't had the time to post anything as you might have noticed. But here it is now. I have this idea about putting music videos in the next couple of post, just to share what we are into at the moment. Anyway, I found this other video featuring Cee-lo Green doing a Band Of Horses cover. A bit heavy but I posted another Fuck You video to make you feel better again. I guess that's the new official video but I think I like the simple one better. Well enjoy! Now I gotta go work!

Not excatly rocket sience...

... but that doesn't mean that we can't tattoo people who work for Nasa designing their fancy moooon stuff. More about that day later. I think Amalie has something lined up for later.

First Tattoo (tattoos?)

Our Polish/irish friends came by and brought cake and everything. Good times. Satanic fox and fancy devil Lady! Awesome!!

This guy is an old customer of mine. Waaaaay back. Now he came back and got himself a nice little Bier mädchen. He is from Germany after all and does like big boobs and bier and who am I to refuse him that!



Did these two pieces a earlier this year. Just never got a picture of them.


I have been waiting almost 2 hours for my old Iphone to get updated so I can change it to my new iphone 4 and start playing with it. Well I guess that will be tomorrow since it is late now here in Denmark.

More crazy tattoos to come and a finished painting too soon!

Ready to start

The Mel and The Klaus

Looking through the next pictures to post from the last trip to California I realized that this post would have to be about two of my favourite people, Amalie (Mel, among friends in California) and my evil twin Klaus. I guess we were on our way to the Queen Mary this day. More photos from that later.

Tattoos...ehh!

I guess it is about this time where I nedd to feed you guys a coupke of tattoos to keep you watching.

This post is dedicated to Canadians.

Our awesome friends Liam and Marika came to visit. We met them last year when Cancer Bats played at the Roskilde Festival and they stayed with us the whole weekend. Luckily we weren't the only once having a blast back then so they decided to drop by for some more hang time. This time without having to go or play at a festival. Good food was eaten, 2nd season of True Blood was watched (SOOOOKIE!!), fleamarked was visited and great times were had!
Tattoos were done. I know there will be a few people thinking, "he always say that he won't do it just black and grey and that it need a bit of colour". That is true, I usually try to put a few drops of colour in the mix but if you only have black tattoos already then that's how it's gonna be so...here is some black tattoos. I really liked the look of it and I have been playing around with the idea of doing more heavy black pieces lately so it might happen again.

Liam's terrible mysterious Octapyramid...of U.A.

Marika's skull with a rose right in the eye!

It was really cool to have friends coming over like that. We work so much on either the shop or tattooing that we rarely have time to hang out with anyone in Denmark so it is awesome when good peeps comes visit like that. So nice house guests too. More praise to the Canadian friends in a post coming soon.

While Liam and Marika was here I also had a customer from Canada. They had even met each other before. Funny. Anyway. She got the head of Marie Antoinette...without the body. Kinda dead...like eyes rolled back in the head dead. Fun piece!!

She be dead!

Today is the first of 4 drawing days I have pencilled in! AWESOME!!! We have some room on the walls at the shop that needs to be filled and some empty frames to go with it. I also have plans for a little photo shoot with my skating customer Mads. You know his pieces and I will remind you when we get to that. Now...drawing time.

A day at the beach

The one day we decided to use our day of to go to the beach the weather decided to be cold and grey...well for California standard, but still. Not warm enough to go swimming. We walked around for a while anyway. You can go back in time and see what my wife had to say about that day on her blog...right HERE
