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.
Samples of Some Product airbrush graphics from 2004/05 (below).
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 ).

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.
Studs & Sluts
Another tribute to that glorious decade known as ….the EIGHTIES!!!
