My 41

Leonard stockers car show pre-party

2009-10-14T20:03:00.004-05:00

A few photos from the Leonard Stockers carshow pre party at dusty rods. We(Transylvania Holeshot) played a set and had a blast.The pushrod played a set. I sat in and played upright bass with them for 2 sets after Danny left for the night. I had a great time as usual.The show on Saturday was rainey and cold which kept alot of people away but I still had a blast hanging out with good friends.

1957 Harley

2009-08-20T02:07:00.003-05:00

Well the Ironhead Harley is gone. I traded it off for a big ass pile of parts and stuff but fear not loyal readers another bike is on the way. I'm starting with a 1957 straight leg frame and a 57 wide glide front end. Just finished rebuilding the forks with 2 under tubes and old style fork boots. Everything will be your standard early style chopper fair. Anybody have a running shovelhead or a panhead??? haha Mock up is fun!

New gig poster art.

2009-08-14T13:51:00.002-05:00

I was asked to do a gig poster for Wayne Hancock and Pushrod for their upcoming show at the Granada theater in Dallas.I was honored to do it because I'm a big fan of Wayne and good friends with the guys from Pushrod.Here are a couple of variations of the poster.

Pushrod at the House of Blues

2009-06-14T20:44:00.003-05:00

Pushrod had a last minute gig at The House of Blues Friday night. What A good time we had. Armed with backstage passes we got to hang in the greenroom like rock stars!! haha. Pushrod tore the house down!!! They opened for another band and after Pushrod's set I would have hated to be in the band that had to follow them!

The Hangover

2009-06-11T00:47:00.002-05:00

Went and watched The Hangover tonight and it was f-ing funny!!! Loved it and had fun hanging out with Lori but everytime I go to the movies I'm reminded how much I don't like the general public. Rude people, noisy people and people who wear too much AXE body spray or perfume. Nobody gives a shit about the other people around them but oh well I guess it's the state of the world today.

God bless Johnny Cash

My Granddad

2009-03-26T19:11:00.004-05:00

Some old pictures of my Grandad Bob Geesling.He was a musician his whole life. From playing music on a street corner while his brother shined shoes as a kid to playing all over the U.S. owning a music store and even wrote two songs that Patsy Cline recorded in 1956. He was the biggest inspiration on my life. Music, cars , clothes ,history and the way I live my life all have to do with this man. I miss him everyday.

Gran Torino

After seeing a few movies lately by some of my favorite actors that were real stinkers Gran Torino made up for it. Clint Eastwood has always been the epitome of bad-ass and still is at age 78! This movie reminds me of some of his earlier movies with that "tough guy cool" tone.Go check it out!

New art for People Eating Puppies

2009-01-14T18:54:00.004-06:00

I just finished the box logo for People Eating Puppies. This art will be printed on pizza boxes that hold the t-shirts. Neal wanted a diner sign influenced piece. I tried to give it a early 60's diner/vegas style sign feel and a pizza parlor dude! The sign will be on top of the box and the pizza dude will be on the bottom. I'll post a pic of the box when they come back from the printers. One shot sign painters enamel on foamboard. Check out People Eating Puppies:

Wall-E

2008-12-18T02:48:00.004-06:00

If you know me you know I love movies.I love old movies, new movies,comedies,dramas,romantic movies and so on and so on. Lately though there have been some real bad movies even involving some of my favorite actors.(Sorry Mr.DeNiro) I have enjoyed everything that Pixar has put out since they began making films.I'm an artist but if I had any real talent I would be working with these guys. What a great job creating worlds for others to enjoy all the while making those people relate to your art like it is a real person.Two of my favorites are Toy Story and Cars but my new favorite just might be Wall-E. This film doesn't have a conversation between human voices until about 35 minutes into the film but you still care about the main character and feel his loneliness. That's amazing and it all starts with an artist drawing with a pencil. What a great job to have and a great film!

Just got back

2008-11-14T23:16:00.000-06:00

I just rolled in from California and man am I beat.I had fun traveling cross country with my brothers to visit my Dad and little sister but wow it's a long drive. On the way out we made a detour and went across Hoover Dam then on to Vegas Baby!! We rolled in to town at 5:30Am so I got to see Vegas in the dark which is impressive. The casinos were already filled with zombies and everybody was pissed off it seemed like from the people that had already gambled away everything all the way to the people working in the casinos. All in all though it was a fun trip that my brothers and I will probably never get chance to take together again.

Two photos:My brothers and I headed into Fremont street and yours truly in Needles NM during one of the numerous bathroom stops!

I saw a 40 year old man with a faux-hawk hairdo today.What a dipshit!!! The popular hairstyle for teenie boppers is like a mohawk for pussies to afraid to commit to a real mohawk which I guess is ok for a kid trying to "fit in" , but a 40 year old man with one WTF??? I wanted to slap the shit out of him!!!
NOT COOL

Why do we need celebrity endorsements for political candidates? Is it because they think the general public is to stupid to think for ourselves or IS the general public to stupid to think for themselves and actually believe what some airhead celebrity is paid to say????

While watching the chopper challenge Powerplant choppers is building a Geico caveman bike. Please see my previous post about the caveman. HAHAHA!!

TV

2008-10-24T00:11:00.000-05:00

I've been watching chopper challenge tonight on cmt apparently they are doing a marathon. I think alot of gearheads are like me and watch these shows because they are remotely related to their interests. The problem with these tv shows are that they focus on the drama (albeit staged or real) not the actual building process. I guess they do that so they don't lose the interest of average Joe Sheeple that buys the tasteless crap that they try to pass off as whats cool. Joe Sheeple looks at a bike that someone put their heart and soul into building and has no clue just how much it took to build it but has no problem pointing out what he thinks are mistakes or flaws in the bike or car for that matter. Especially when it's being built on a real budget and not "sponsored" by a multi billion dollar company thats only interested in it as a commerical.He just saw Paul Turtle Sr. belittle his own kid (and they guys that show up and work for him everyday making his dumbass rich) and think that is how it's done. I don't give a shit what Mr. Sheeple thinks I build my stuff for me the way I want to. When I started my bike I had a picture of what I wanted in my head and thats what came out. When you can do that Mr. Sheeple then come talk to me and I'll shake your hand....Then I'll tell you how much your bike sucks!!HAHA!

I love em all!

2008-10-21T01:06:00.000-05:00

We went to the PUSHROD show Sat. night at the Cadillac Pizza Pub the they rocked the place as usual. Even the yuppies that came in later were feeling it!! Mike and the guys got me up on stage to sit in with them after some prodding from my wife ,Jeremy and the whole damn bar! It's been a long time since I've played with a band and even longer since I played to a crowd but it was alot of fun. Even though it seemed like I was on a one man crusade to make PUSHROD suck, it just reminded me how much I miss playing music. More in the future maybe??....Who knows?

What a ride...

2008-10-18T03:06:00.001-05:00

My friend Charlie came by yesterday driving his 1963 MG midget and my nephew conned Charlie into giving him a ride in it! With a small block chevy v8 putting out some where near 400hp this car is a handful but lots of fun. Trenton giggled for a half hour afterwards!I'm trying my hardest to ruin as many kids as possible by turning them into gearheads..I can't think of a better way than a ride in a car like this!! Loud , small and fast a good combination!!!

Am I ?

2008-10-18T00:44:00.001-05:00

Am I the only one that thinks the Geico caveman is a whiney bitch???!!!

Well what do ya know??!!

2008-10-16T22:14:00.000-05:00

I always thought that those people that get stuck in a rut and only listen to a certain kind of music or a certain time period of music or the music they listened to in their high school or college days were just not really into music or just sheep that followed the herd. Well what do ya know it seems like that has been me over the last couple of years. I've tended to look to the past more and more for music instead of the current crop of bands and music. There seems to be nothing out there I really like. Is it because the music that typically moves me is not commercial enough to sell to advertising companies for fast food chains or Nissan car commercials ?
Well a big fat shimmering light of hope is an Akron Ohio based band called The Black Keys. I got in to these guys a couple of years ago and I think they are great. A two piece band that is this good just rules!

Wow what a cool bike is it a triumph or a shovelhead?

2008-10-16T00:35:00.000-05:00

I recently built an old Harley ironhead Sportster. It 's the first Harley I've built and even though I've owned a bunch of Japanese and Italian sportbikes this is first Harley I've owned. I've come to the conclusion that there is something to the whole Harley mystique, no I'm not talking about putting on an American flag and eagle doo rag with your leather chaps and suiting up for that 5 mile "run" to the local psuedo biker bar slash restaurant on your brand new "custom" $30,000 couch on wheels with $5,000 of extra chrome doo-dads that make it custom in your eyes, I'm talking about the sound, feel and pure mechanics of an old Harley Davidson that you put together with your own hands. When I got my bike is was a cobbled together POS and was a very uncool almost stock bike with a Krylon paint job(If they spent that much money!). The redeeming quality that this bike had was that it ran and was in the price range that I wanted to give. I brought the bike home and rode it around a little and almost immediately notice just how mechanical this thing is. The Japanese build good bikes and while the new Harleys are light years ahead of mine they are just too good ,they lack soul and character.

I took my bike to my shop and tore it down after only a ride or two and broke out the sawzall to cut the bike in half. After welding on a new hardtail rear section I added a 21" front wheel with a mini spool and period correct avon speedmaster tire. Then came the paint and only metalflake , lace and candies would fit the bill! A double white stripe tire for the rear and drag bars with a sprung bates style seat. Lots more fab work and parts went into the bike before I got to ride it for the first time but man was it worth it. The look was spot on, the sound was there and the ride.... well yeah it rides rough but it really connects you with the bike and the road. After taking off all the unnecessary crap it made the bike very quick and responsive and light and nimble. You just can't get that on a new stock 800lb Harley.What's funny is alot of the "Harley guys" don't know what it is. "Is that a Triumph or a shovelhead?"

There is nothing like going outside and kick starting a rigid frame chopper and blasting off through the night at a high rate of speed.... nothing.
