Here is a lettering and pinstripe job that I did for customer Willy Kierdorf. The teardrop shaped trailer matches Willy’s Hot Rod which although is not pictured here, you may recall seeing on the cover of Swedish magazine Gasoline (back issues are available on the Sivletto Webshop )

Though painted to look like a Willerby Built trailer, the truth is that it is actually a custom build, completely hand fabricated right down to the door hinges ! I could go on and on about the craftsmanship on this but I will leave that for the magazines to report on.

As for my hand in the deal I laid stripes on the 110 trunk louvers as well as a bit here and there to match the pinstripes that sit on the rod. As for the Brodals Cafe design, this is dedication to the Cafe that Willy’s folks owned and ran during the 1960′s.

Modeling for the design is none other then the lovely Fraulein Frauke ! If you are in the Stockholm area ,and haven’t been already, don’t miss the Burlesque club that she runs together with pro Pin Up photographer John Paul Bichard…. ‘Fröken Frauke presents’, go and visit her site for more info !

This is the 3rd work truck I have lettered for the Stockholm based  painting company RETRO MÅLERI. As with the other two vehicles they brush painted the truck by hand, this time with an industrial tractor paint. The tan and ivory colors are matched to Swedish color tabs from the 1940′s.

Other then painting their trucks Retro Målari provides a full range or painting and wall-covering services. And of course they do specialize in retro styles, so they are pros when it comes to period correct colors and wallpapers.

Also as seens on the truck Skyltmålning (sign painting) is now a added to the list of services, as we will be focusing on collaborating more in the future and taking on larger projects.

Full brush painted and Pinstriped Stand up Bass for Ubbe. The wooden body got a good rub down then a brush blended fade (no spray guns here)  from antique green to polar white and some mid fifties style voodoo pinstripe.. After that the whole thing got a very flat yellowed patina finish. Lookin’  old and dusty but it’s all brand new !

Last week I was out to the Land Inn Motel to letter their new custom shop truck.. (pics of that soon)…And, while I was thereI got a chance to see the sign in use for the first time since I painted it back in the shop.

It was looking really good there, those guys did a killer job on the construction and the location and placing is perfect! A real classic roadside sign….

More from the Land Inn coming soon!

Here’s a hat that Dickies Europe made a while back using the same lettering from their catalog that I did. The model is called “Pantego”.

The text is nicely raised and embroidered  on a starter brand snap back adjustable cap. I guess they came out in the spring but I somehow missed it .. well anyway it’s new to me .. here it is the Dickies x Starter ( and unofficially x Von Sven ) hat !

A while back I painted a Unionville text and the store address Katarina Bangata 69 on this old jacket.  Now the same design has been printed in-house at the shop and is available printed on either tote bags or T-Shirts. As you can see in the last few photos.. Unionville only uses the best ink and quality fabrics so after some good use the designs wear in real nice !
