Body Language
All over prints on fabric for Sabrina Khan. I really dig the idea behind these! These were fun to do… and she has great taste in music.
There’s nothing like good body images to enhance one’s own “body image”.
Several finished garments are on display at the SPREAD art show going on now at The Chapel Arts in Vancouver.
Public Access & Beyond
Tees printed for the launch of Public Access: 1999 & Beyond show Presented by UNIT/PITT Projects and the Helen Pitt Gallery & curated by the folks at Weekend Leisure!
A Magical Deconstruction
Some Product has unearthed very rare and unseen photos of the famed Catalan magician El Ballistico. His very short and lively career came to a sudden end in the year 2000, as it was his wish never to perform magic in the 21st century. He has not been heard from since, although rumors continue to circulate as to his whereabouts.
El Ballistico practiced what is now known as deconstructive magic. While having a great respect and admiration for the art and in particular past masters of magic, Ballistico often times deconstructed his own tricks and illusions right on stage in front of an audience. At the time many people thought that he wasn’t very well rehearsed or just plain no good, however we have since realized that what he was really doing was distilling the true essence of magic and sharing it with his audience, right on stage. It is by no coincidence that deconstructive cuisine started to develop and gain worldwide notoriety in the Catalan region of Spain, almost at the same time as Ballistico’s last performance.
We are very happy to make available the limited edition El Ballistico tees through our good friends at El Kartel as well as on our online shop.

Jean-Michel Basquiat
I personally really hate the word “fierce” to describe any thing or action. However Jean-Michel Basquiat’s work can easily be described as fierce. It’s also incredibly stylish, full of raw power, energy and life.
Pictured below is a custom dyed Basquiat t-shirt from Some Product and a JMB painting entitled – “Fuego Flores”.
I was there man !!!
Some awesome concert event tees. I have always loved these, they are just so damn hard to get your hands on.
The Rod Stewart gem, I got in Hollywood, in some kind of a now forgotten trade. The Oasis one was given to me by a top lad from Leeds named Dan and the Day On The Green, belongs to my friend Colleen. Check out the tiny little Iron Maiden opening for the mighty Foreigner and Loverboy ! Last I checked, Iron Maiden were still playing arenas and Foreigner were playing casinos. Who’s laughing now?
Blues and Haikus 4
The great Gil Scott-Heron is featured in an ongoing series of limited edition tees for The Blues & Haikus nights at The Waldorf Hotel. Available at the hotel gift shop.
Some Product @ KILLA
Some Product just dropped some limited airbrushed Revolt tees at KILLA in Vancouver’s Gastown. They also carry C.P. Company there, so you you know it’s the best place in town to get properly clobbered up.
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.
