Everyone Loves Raymond

As far as I remember art is pretty much the only thing I cared about since I was a little kid. Making art, looking at art, knowing about it, etc…I can’t think of a bigger influence in terms of humor, aesthetics and style then Ray Pettibon. His striking and often brutally funny images continue to inspire me to this day.

“There was basically all your standard or regular gig posters, and then there were the Ray Pettibon gig posters.”

Some Product x komakino v.1

Last week, while checking out some vintage shops, I came across this little gem. Some Product designed and produced a very limited edition line of tees for my friend Campbell’s high-end men’s shop – Komakino. A pretty exciting find, since no samples were left and they all sold out a long time ago. The street poster advert was also designed and produced at around the same time by Some Product.

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.

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.
