CALIFORNIA LOVE, THE END OF THE BEGINNING, JAMES MARTIN, BLOOD DRIPPING WOUNDS, THE WORLD IS IN HARMONY
California Love
There are road trips that begin with a map, and others that begin with a shared language. This one began somewhere between offset paper, air-cooled engines, late-night voice notes and the stubborn belief that printed culture still matters.

The end of the beginning
Meaningful journeys begin with saying goodbye
Sometimes things take a different course. Different from what we imagined, different from what we planned, different from what we wanted, different from what we hoped for. But are those deviations inherently negative? Or might each of them conceal something worthwhile, something positive, something better — waiting to reveal itself?
Let’s rewind the clock a few years.

About and with James Martin
At 41 years old, James Martin has already lived a creative life that spans continents, disciplines, and artistic styles. Originally from Utah in the United States and now based in Oslo, Norway, Martin has built a unique visual language that combines elements of illustration, animation, comics, and contemporary fine art.
Working under the name Studio Cartoons Deluxe, Martin is known for his bold imagery, hand-crafted approach, and willingness to follow unexpected creative paths. Whether creating paintings, drawings, animations, or experimental visual projects, his work reflects a fascination with storytelling and the power of imagination.
In this conversation, we speak about the experiences that have shaped his artistic voice, and how living between cultures continues to influence his creative practice. We also discuss the importance of curiosity, artistic independence, and what keeps him exploring new ideas after years of making art.

Who doesn’t know the feeling?
The Porsche myth has a way of captivating people — always, everywhere, and at any time. A Porsche leaves its mark. It leaves an impression. That’s exactly how I’ve felt every time I’ve walked into the garage lately.
Anyone who has ever parked an old Porsche in an enclosed space knows the smell. In fact, most of us could recognize it blindfolded. It’s always the same — a scent all its own. Part oil, part fuel, part history. A fragrance unique to these cars.
What people tend to like a little less — but somehow comes with the territory — are the occasional drops of oil on the garage floor. That, too, is part of the Porsche experience, especially when we’re talking about cars built between the 1960s and the 1980s.
My beloved metallic blue 1973 911 is no exception.

The world is in harmony
Bop
Fifty years ago, Porsche embarked on a journey that would challenge convention, redefine performance, and quietly create one of the most fascinating chapters in the brand’s history.
At a time when the automotive world was becoming increasingly obsessed with power figures and top speeds, Porsche pursued something altogether more sophisticated: balance.
The Transaxle concept was not merely an engineering solution. It was a philosophy. By placing the engine at the front and the transmission at the rear, Porsche’s engineers achieved a near-perfect weight distribution that transformed the way a sports car could feel on the road. The result was not just measurable in numbers—it was experienced through every corner, every sweep of asphalt, every mile driven with purpose.
