Hope to meet you all at Elmia Custom Motor Show 2010


Lobelia Barker Elmia 2010

I have been bad att keeping my homepage up to date simply due to having lots and lots of work keeping me insanely busy ...
But for those who don´t already know, I have a large booth at the show this year and I am showing off a beautiful Mustang that I have happily "skullified" ...

Now I will finally be doing something I have wanted to do for ages, and that is painting from a male model, live, on the bonnet of a car.
This I don`t think has EVER happened in this world of glitter and testosterone.
It is time for the girls to get something to look at in this male dominated world so ladies...
in the name of pure fairness, I present you with the shamelessly good looking Joakim Wikstöm who will be posing with very little on ...

A secret "comeback" by a well know Swedish car styler will be uncovered at the show in hall A, and I have been involved in that.
Great fun.

Last but NOT least, I have had he honor of painting a little item that the famous CHIP FOOSE will be presented with. Who knows, maybe I even can get the chance to meet him.
Pictures of the item coming up. in fact, pictures of everything coming up, please just give me a little time after the show and check in to my page again.

Just a quick note to say that I am in Denmark this week for the Summer Academy for the Art of Academic Riding with Bent Branderup. It will be great to see my oil paintings again now that some time has passed (I was commissioned by Bent to paint the Old Masters of Academic Riding).
