    Here's an update on my art project. I got the first shipment of books three days ago, and I am really happy with how it turned out. I made a little movie for you guys, I hope you will like it:

    That's raaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddd!!!!! It takes some balls from you and the publisher to print full pages in black with nothing on them.....but it's works so well with this book. I want one, I need one and I will beg and borrow to have one.

    Awesome work. Following through on a project start to finish...kind of reminds me of building a car...one step at a time, with the total investment of years and money far exceeding your initial goals.

    Let me know when and where it is available for purchase...I'd like to get my hands on a copy.

    Thanks for your kind words, everyone!
    The thing is that it's horribly expensive to send them one by one overseas from here. The package weighs 1 kilo ready to ship, that should be around 2,5 lbs, and the shipping alone is at least $30. The book will be somewhere around $50 so I'll see if it's favorable to ship a bunch of them overseas in one box, and then sent individually when it comes to the U.S.
    I will let you know when I've investigated all options.

    It will be available thru Amazon in a while, I can let you all know when that happens. That will definitely be the most convenient, but I don't know what it will cost there. Probably just about the same as if I ship it myself.

    Hi everyone! I put an ad in the classifieds section if you would like to buy a copy. If you feel more secure shopping from a local source, shoot me a pm and I'll let you know when it's available in or near your country.

    Thanks for looking!

    WOOOOOOOWW

    I got my copy yesterday. This is soo cool. I understand your question Christer, regarding if there is a market for a book with the cars in the backround. Should be. Must be.
    I mean I got loads of books ang mags with cars in front. This was something different. Yet the coolest

    Looked over it yesterday together with some family and friends that are NOT in to Hot Rodding. They saw of course the link to what I do, but got worked up over the faces, composition of people/backgrounds etc. They ejoyed it but of course in another way than me. I see dreams, passion, some of the 19, you know.....

    I read from this that you are very skilled at what you do. The pictures talks to people.
    The words of Mark Morton blended in perfectly. That man has a very special way of expressing him self. One of the BEST.


    Thanks a lot for doing this. It is a book that I will treassure and look at often.

    Pål
