In the mid-1990s, Sorensen purchased a hot rod Cadillac and became involved in Southern California car culture.

Sorensen's Venice mechanic introduced him to the art and design of Kenny "Von Dutch" Howard, a father of the Kustom Kulture movement that heavily influenced the fashion and style of hot rodding, surf culture, skateboarding and rock 'n' roll.

Sorensen invested in Von Dutch Originals in 2000 and became its CEO, opening the Melrose Avenue retail location that same year.

Sorensen expanded Von Dutch from a niche T-shirt and hat line to a full-scale fashion collection adding hoodies, jeans and accessories.

Influenced by the free and open trade mentality of Freetown Christiania, an artist enclave near Copenhagen, and his success as a brand entrepreneur at Von Dutch, Sorensen was inspired to build an online artistic community.

The site launched in July 2009 with the help of the American Film Institute's Digital Content Lab.

The site and organization are designed to serve as a tool to help artists create, promote and sell their work, and build collaborative relationships with other artists and commercial brands.

Planet illogica's business model relies on product sales and licensing of user-generated content, Borrowing on Sorensen's earlier experience with Von Dutch, Planet illogica focuses on the commercial intersection between emblematic art and brand associations with that art, deliberately fostering relationships between art, brand imagery and commercial advertising.

Planet illogica also serves as a vehicle for Sorensen to scout and develop talent.

Select artists are supported by the organization's artist in residence program, which provides marketing, management, legal and financial support for the artist, and which facilitates joint artistic ventures with Planet illogica's alliance partners.

Planet illogica's affiliate network includes Nike, Sony PlayStation, Best Buy and Guitar Center, among others.

Planet illogica continues Sorensen's promotion of fashion lines, with its launch of artist Civil Smith's American Heritage apparel collection, the California Christiania Republic line and Sorensen's own Tonny Sorensen Collection.

In 2010, Sorensen launched his new clothing brand, California Christiania Republic, or CCR, with a one-piece casual suit called the one*Z.

The clothing item, which is adorned with the "Freedom Star" of CCR, was clearly featured in several popular music videos, including Willow Smith's debut music video, "Whip My Hair"

The name of the clothing line is a reference and homage to Freetown Christiania and part of Sorensen's effort to save the town, from being taken over by the current Danish government.

Sorensen has also engaged Planet illogica and his Tonny Sorensen Foundation to support other social ventures, including Manifest Equality, an art and music event used as vehicle to raise awareness of LGBT civil rights, the Starts With U Global Sustainability Symposium’s work regarding social inclusion of minority groups, Climate Refugees, a documentary about climate change, and the Save Our Oceans Tour, which is a series of music, film and art installations,
