Helping The Hood

This holiday season, Some Product donated over 250 brand new tees and bags to The United Gospel Mission. I am very grateful that we can be in a position and more importantly, frame of mind to be able to help on any level those in society who really need it most. All this will actually go to the  folks, in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside neighborhood, just a few blocks from our office. I have to say this small gesture was an incredibly satisfying and at the same time, a very humbling feeling.

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”.

Chains Of Love

When Chains of Love asked for some band merchandise, we collectively came up with the idea of printing customized symbols instead of the usual sizing, as well as hand dip dyeing a limited number of tees. It’s always a pleasure to work with talented people on something fun and a little unique. To hear the amazing C of L sound, cleak here.

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.

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.

Your Older Brother’s Bedroom

Promo shot for the now almost legendary Some Product produced club nite – “Your Older Brother’s Bedroom” circa 1999-2000. Man, wish I still had that Ozzy tee, I traded it for a lame bootleg AC/DC tee. Bad decisions were made.

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.

Every Picture Tells a Story

Having Rod Stewart’s face on both front and back of a shirt is a sure sign of high intellect and refinement.

I’M A BUNDY JUNKIE

God, I watched a lot of “Married with Children” episodes! This shirt absolutely rules. I offered my friend – the amazing pinata master  Meaghan Kennedy my left pinky finger for it. Sadly, she refused.
