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.
Fire of Love
The Gun Club’s first record – “Fire of Love” is dangerously contagious. It infected me the very first time I heard it and after years of inactivity, the virus resurfaced recently, with a real vengeance! It still sounds just as bad ass, sleazy and lean as I remembered it. In my mind the best example of the blues and roots rock-n-roll infused with the raw energy of early LA punk. This is done with such flair and conviction on this record that it permeates every cell in my body right down to the bone every time I hear it. With so few constants in life, Fire of Love remains an exception. It sounds as good now as it did the first time I heard it. That really can’t be said about most music.

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!
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.
Erotic POP
Some Product photo and design work initially intended for an album cover, but never used. With nods to the great pop art of Alan Jones and Tom Wesselman. This artwork in one form or another, will likely appear in a new and upcoming SP project very soon.
Hanging around The Weekend Girls
A series of water color paintings – “The Weekend Girls” reproduced on tees. These little gems are available in a limited run only through the Some Product online shop.
“In a perfectly liberal sexual system, some people have an exciting erotic life; others are reduced to masturbation and solitude”.
The Libertine Symptom
“Without beauty a girl is unhappy because she has missed her chance to be loved. People do not jeer at her, they are not cruel to her, but it is as if she were invisible, no eyes follow her as she walks. People feel uncomfortable when they are with her. They find it easier to ignore her. A girl who is exceptionally beautiful, on the other hand, who has something which too far surpasses the customary seductive freshness of adolescence, appears somehow unreal. Great beauty seems invariably to portend some tragic fate.”
The mighty HOG
Not really sure who did the artwork on this Tankhog Halloween themed tee, but I dig it. The “Mighty HOG”, were a pretty awesome Vancouver rock band and a great bunch of dudes. They absolutely tear apart The Partridge Family classic, “I woke up in love this morning” in the clip below.
Mycommunitee X Barbarella Hair
Mycommunitee just designed and printed some pretty fun, limited edition tees for our good friends at Barbarella Hair.
