Some Product 2011 Preview – Men’s
Brushing with Air
Cutting stencils and airbrushing was a huge part of the creative thrust and process for Some Product during 2004 and 2005. Most of the items from that period were airbrushed individually by hand in Vancouver. It was a very exciting and spontaneous period with many designs being one-of-a-kind, or in extremely limited runs. The majority of the collections were sold to customers in Japan. Locally they were sold at El Kartel.
In 2011, Some Product will be bringing back airbrush elements into the collection. (Posts to follow).
Time permitting, there is a possibility of an airbrush workshop at Blim in the up coming months. Check with Blim for any details.

Ah Nostalgia
Nostalgia was a 2004 New Years’ Eve party held at the current “Red Gate” space on Hastings St. in Vancouver. Nostalgia successfully strived to be more then another over priced and predictable New Years’ party. It fused innovative performances, site specific set design and art. Most importantly it was a blast!
No need to feel Nostalgic however, as many of the same people involved in 2004, are throwing another New Years’ party at the Waldorf Hotel, which again promises to be something special.
Happy New Years’ and see you in 2011!
About 50-70 of these Nostalgia tees were produced specifically for the event.

Shirts About F**king
Big Black was probably the meanest, hardest band I heard growing up. I got signed up for sunday school, just so I could wear this shirt.
Google image search Big Black, at your own risk!
The Xeroxed Goddess
Former teenage “bad girl” appears on this vintage t-shirt bought at a Saint Catherine’s sex shop in Montreal, sometime in the 90’s. Tracy Lord’s iconic image gets the full-on DIY, photocopied and cut-up treatment, in a glorious high contrast black and white print. No gloss here, just cheap, easy n’ sleazy.
xxx Sonic Life xxx
A killer Sonic Youth tee I’ve owned for years. Excellent, primitive design perfectly conveyed the mood and sound of this great band. I also love the fact that there is no actual band name on the shirt.
Weekend girls
Water color paintings entitled “Weekend Girls” in very limited run available from only from the Some Product online shop ( early 2011 ).
Printed by mycommunitee.
Gassing up with Jesus
Combines two great American obsessions – Christianity and Coca Cola. Great graphic. Bought at a random highway gas station in Texas for 3 bucks.
Get Rich or Die Cruisin’ dude!!
So stoked I found this photo!!!
I remember owning this Die Kreuzen record back in junior high and being particularly drawn to this image. As a kid on a steady diet of metal and punk music and graphics, this cover had everything I liked. The band never played the cultural hotbed of Edmonton, so I decided to make the tee in Grade 7 art class (unfortunately, the actual tee did not survive..boohoo).
This was done with a paint brush, using regular fabric paints and I am quite sure, is the first tee I ever made. I remember making a few more one-off, DIY tees (Celtic Frost, Slayer and The Cramps) over the next few years, but …no photos have surfaced ….yet.
