helen wheels. what a nice sunny day. uh, kids if you like mountains, please to visit utah. why do you think they call it the mountain state? (should call it the wind state - ed.) 

southeast of winnemucca.

this photograph taken on my recent motorbike trip, is now available as an art print. It was a really cool moment. a highway stretches on forever towards some distant mountains while winter snow storms brew in the mountains on either side of this valley. just me and a motorbike.

please contact me with any questions.

sven.

a work in progress.

here is a peak at the beginnings of my next folk art piece, another wooden machine.

showing up here in the near future!

muir woods.

do you have the keys to the sub?

dear sir, where are we going?
to duluth or to san francisco?
I can't stand the silence.
not yet my boy.

I remember setting out.
all of the joy and fanfare.
but now we ended up here.
and we're just older.

do you remember our best?
how we shone in the sun.
like greek gods.
but everything changed over time.

this old boat sure took some beatings.
and this tired old body too.
but you never looked better.
please tell me hello as you pass by.

the tea is cold and the cupboard empty.
is there anything to eat?
open the window I can't breathe.
but you never looked better.
sven.

like a colorado flower.

mr. bojangles.

I thought I'd try to find old rex.
but ended up getting so lost.
I thought I'd never get home.
and I never saw old rex.

wait, ever listen to a song
and have to quickly shut it off,
'cause it's too painful to hear?
that's who old rex is to me.

keep on rollin' my old buddy.
and may your heart never break
from the weight of your travels and cares,
and only ache a little sometimes.

like me and rex.
we gotta find a way through.
your papers flying through the air.
follow them I cry, as you disappear.

the amazing flying girl of haight street.

the little king.

the little king would like to be the first to announce that the drawing: 'from winnemuca to great basin' is now available as an art print. If you like it please click on the picture to the right to buy it.

If you are local I would be happy to sign it for you if you like and finish it with some kind of hand made frame thingy, price negotiable.

may day parade south minneapolis 2014.

from winnemucca to great basin.

climbing up some lonely mountain.

alone but for some old eagle.

we know each other exist.

and that is all.

as the bike slides to the east.

and the road turns to ice.

the wind and the motor the only sounds forever.

slow and easy like clouds.

do you remember easy rider?

wanna go with me?

well I guess that job's done.

were you ever there with me?

we lay down our lives everyday.

and think nothing until one day.

when we think everything.

and wait until someone tells us stop.

sven.

journey's end.

I dedicate this ride to you.

wintermoor again, good job rosie.

another day.

deadwood, SD.

on my second to last day I drove through the black hills (actually small mountains at the far eastern side of the rockies) in south dakota. the weather was very nice and it was pleasant riding until I finished the day on the freeway where I encountered high winds again. but the black hills were nice, especially silver city which my frozen imagination dreamt was shangri-la.
