We met artist Bosse Jensen during our One World Tour of Europe last summer. His work is fantastic and he recently finished the first of two Choppertown-themed shirts for us. Here's a bit about him in his own words...fantastic that we get to meet such people on our travels.

I live in a small town called Kungsor in Sweden, 130 kilometers west of Stockholm. At an early age my parents realized that I was very interested in bikes and cars, I was not more than slightly over a year when my granddad built a minicar out of wood for me. I fell in love with it and went on with rebuilding and destroying bicycles, mopeds and plastic models.
When I was fourteen years old the members of the local motorcycle club AB Anfall, adopted me for painting gas tanks and making their logo. After working as a mechanic and in a clothes shop in Stockholm I went to art school. To make a living those years I sold drawings to Scandinavian motorcycle magazines and built and painted bikes for other people. I met a girl, Helena, and we married and got three children, Carl, Eric, and Anna.
Even though I got an early Stingray Corvette and a Ford 34 Roadster I´m still a 100% motorcycle man.
