Let it bee!

With a background in the Danish sub-urban culture, the play full minds in it and tons of comic books, I have created and dedicated myself to my alter ego: Max Danger.

Back in the days Max Danger spent a lot of time painting and illustrating. This was when he was not out crashing on his bike, falling down from trees or getting hurt doing other slightly stupid things. Later he found an interest in something else: precious shiny GOLD!

Short after his new found interest Max Danger mysteriously disappeared. But a new guy had moved in on the turf... Max Danger the Shine Doctor.

Max Danger the Shine Doctor is so fond of GOLD and street that every morning when he wakes up, he makes a fine blend of it, melts it in a crucible and pours it on his cereal instead of milk.

The contrast between the street culture and fine jewellery is big but these two elements function as inspiration to narratives and slang interpretations in his jewellery. This is often supported by graphic illustrations so even the aurophobic people will know what is going on.

Steady hand drill and with a precise cut is the trademark of the Doc. So lean back and prepare for a makeover that not even Jenny Jones can put a finger on.
