Not-a-floor-post

Ok, todays post is a special one, as it does not contain any construction, decoration or panel painting pictures at all.
No, i have decided to give you all a well deserved break from moving related news and show you what Allan has been working on today.
We don't normally post that many in progress pictures, but since the blog was in desperate need of some tattoo action, and Allan already blogged about it once, we made an exception.

Henrik's cello playing antler lady, ta daah!

More recent tattoos here!

Jessica Rabbit Untooned

3/7/2010

Just cause i had to do it.
15 3/4 inches tall. Will have a simple oval base and is for sale.
You can can find more pix of her in my galleries.










Shop dog's life

Silly dog, do not lean against a freshly painted door frame.
Later that day he walked on the newly painted black floor and left one perfect, black paw print on the wooden floor next to it.
It looked so cute we were almost tempted to leave it there.

What'll it be tomorrow, Lucifer, red maybe?

Besides painting we also found time to eat some sunday brunch at the café around the corner.
With the painters, that is.
The coffee was weak, but the eggs were good, so i'd recommend it if you go out for some proper coffee right after.
Don't bother ordering a double shot, we tried that too.

The café seemed dog friendly, another plus, or maybe they just didn't notice our bat-in-a-basket?
I can haz bacon?

Wet cement

Look who has a floor now!
Not a floor we can use, but hey, getting there.

Bye bye Pit of Death and Doom
Sorry for the mess neighbors, it'll be over soon
Got started on the "i can't believe it's not Polaroids" wall (or door) today

Tomorrow we get internet at the shop, and i for one am pretty stoked about that!

The great conspiracy

We have moved!
We are far from done, but we're here and so is all our stuff.
We have been spending so much time at the new location lately that i've been dreaming about painting panels, and i know for a fact that our professional painters feel the same way.
But once this place is done, it'll be amazing.
And no, there's still no floor in the front room, but there were people in the pit yesterday working on that, so someday soon we will have a front room too!

We spent all of saturday and sunday moving, and a bunch of our sweet friends and family came by the shop to help us.
Martin, Christel, Mille, Nikolaj, Helle, Topper, Anne, Laurits, Suzy, Corey; thanks, we couldn't have done it without you guys!
And a special thanks to Uglen and Jesper (our painters), to Wookie (our electrician) and to Morten and Jonathan (our carpenters and lifesavers) for all of their hard work, help and patience.

Now, under normal circumstances i'd be all over an event as monumental as this with my camera, documenting the crap out of the occasion, but this time there was no time.
Seriously, we were all way too busy to stop and take pictures of every little thing, but here are a few random shots i took when time allowed it.
I wish there were more people in these pictures!

The sketchy people who rented the shop before us left behind a sketchy dream-catcher, Allan is here seen finally evicting it's ass for good
Eckel painting one of the toilets (that's right, we have two now!)
Sunday morning we went to a flea-market, here's Eckel and Corey getting cozy with our new belongings
And me and Lucifer getting cozy in the front seat
Lucifer, finally allowed in the forbidden room of the old shop
Even though the shop was nowhere near done (still isn't) Allan had his first client monday at 12
Our new kitchen chairs (still missing a table though) in our new kitchen
It's even more red in person!
Allans work space monday night, it's all coming together

More pictures... i wanna say "coming soon" but it's probably more like "some day when we're done drilling and painting".

Ps. The official shop opening will be in May, we'll find a date real soon.

Pps. We have no phone until friday, so email us if you need to talk to us about urgent matters.
If it's not urgent, please wait a week or two to write, as i have no time to answer mails these days.
