I’m a Survivor

What a find! I love the graphic and the sentiment.

We all survive dozens of things daily. Awkward encounters, odd smells, crap movies, break ups, the list could go on and on. This shirt is like a call to raise the “devil sign” with nails painted bright red, to all of life’s little problems.

Some things just never change

I recently got an email from a very old friend that contained these two drawings as attachments. Immediately, I realized that these random doodles were made by me in one of his notebooks years ago. I guess it must have been in high school. Not to get overly analytical, but it’s interesting how these two drawings, so poignantly encapsulate something of my teenage psyche. It’s entirely plausible that similar images may appear, if I were to unconsciously start doodling right now.

Thanks to Bob G. for holding on to these Freudian glimpses.

Steel Viper Force

Printed some very cool promo tees for the locally produced film -  Steel Viper Force.

Something…

… about George Harrison is really awesome. He was in a band with two of the most gifted and groundbreaking musicians of all time, yet he always somehow remained enigmatic and seemingly unaffected by “it all”. Having recently watched the excellent and very long Scorsese documentary on him, I was reminded of how much I liked him and his music. This George Harrison tee has been available from Some Product for the past several seasons. He just never really goes out of style.

Bonus points for George – He financed Monty Python’s ” Life of Brian”.

S.L.E.A.Z.E.

Just unearthed some photos from the first, infamous Some Product co-produced Sleazeball night at the Penthouse Night Club. Great shot of Cotton wearing one of the earliest SP designs ever produced, that was also used for the poster.

We are All Lucky

“Jesus told me to Kill, Lucky 4 You, I don’t do what I’m told”. Amazing home made job, with Stryper patches to boot!

Occupy This!

About 6 years ago Some Product was asked to appear on MTV with models wearing some of our designs and give an interview. I asked my friends, Justin Gradin and “The Doctor” to come hang out, and maybe do a little  “modelling”. They showed up wearing these amazing Megaphone gas mask contarptions, that “The Doctor” had made and to everyone’s amusement, scared the shit out of all the MTV wussies. Both are wearing the Some Product AG line released in 2006.

Ballistico’s House of Ill Repute

I was asked to do a carnival type of an attraction for the Halloween Midway at The Waldorf Hotel. This whole idea and concept came to me withing 10 seconds of being asked. It turned out very very close to the initial concept and rough sketch. The weekend turned out to be a lot of fun and “Ballistico’s Ball in the Hole” game worked out amazingly well.

Ronan Boyle X Some Product preview

So excited to be working and collaborating with a good friend and an amazing artist – Mr. Ronan Doyle. This is a preview of just one of the tees for the upcoming season. I will be posting more as this project develops.

Grandma’s Art Brut

My grandma is 88 years old now, and has been a hair dresser for most of her adult life. Recently she started taking some art classes. The results are eerily reminiscent of one of my favorite artists – Henry Darger.
