Favorite found photo

I found this in a pack of discarded photos at a bus stop on Sunset Strip in Hollywood, circa 2003. Image kinda speaks for itself…

What the hell was I doing at a bus stop? Waiting for the bus, of course!

This was the very first Some Product sales trip, my license was suspended, budget nonexistent, so I took the dreaded BUS, samples and a catalogue in tow. Huge props to Shabon on Beverly Blvd. for being the first store to ever place an order with Some Product. Now it’s primarily an excellent vintage store ,and I still try to stop in whenever I am in LA. You never really forget your first, I guess…

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.

It’s now a family affair!!

I really didn’t think it was possible to have a better t-shirt then the DOG tee already available from Some Product, however the new Leland and Beth tees  make a strong argument that there is life after DOG…..Both tees designed in-house printed by Mycommunitee.

Not every DOG is a prophet!

DOG the Bounty Hunter is a bit of an obsession with me. Ok, a lot of an obsession. He truly represents everything American, in all of its beauty and ugliness. He is a top rated reality TV star, a reformed ex-drug addict, biker, a former inmate who is now on the other side of the law. He is religious, a family man with a dozen kids from different marriages, a racist who went on Larry King and cried and asked the nation for forgiveness. He is equal parts prophet, pro wrestler, super hero, preacher man, redneck, addictions counselor, reality tv star and a true pop culture icon!
This drawing is due to be turned into a tee. Beth and Youngblood are next!!!

THE DOG TEE!!! printed by Mycommunitee.com. Available by request at the Some Product studio. You will have to pass a DOG trivia quiz before we can sell you this shirt. No joke!

Mycommunitee X Blim

Mycommunitee and Some Product are very excited to start working with our friends over at Blim. They have a beautiful new retail/gallery space in Vancouver’s China Town. It’s really worth checking out.

We were asked to print a limited run of these Russell Lang tees for his opening.
