Some Collages
These photo collages were done for a magazine article several years ago.

Featured items: Stenciled “Filth & Fury” dress, Collage tube dress, Some Product “Fuck Forever” tee, “Salon” fanny packs, Some Product Solid Gold tee and El Ballistico tee.
Hola! Diego!
Maradona is one of my all time heros, and not just in sports. I don’t particularly idolize many people, but he is an exception. Aside from being the greatest player of his time, he is a real human being, not the usual boring and predictable celebrity. Outspoken and funny, troubled and genius, a saint and a sinner.
Watching Maradona as the manager of a great Argentina team is almost as fun as watching him play. I love the way he kisses and hugs each player when they come off the field. I love the way he paces like a little Napoleon on the sidelines. The Argentina players will play their hearts out for this guy and as the World Cup progresses, one can’t help but think that Maradona, could be the X factor in this World Cup.
When Some Product started, the very first collection of graphics ever designed and produced was entitled “BADASS”. They were dedicated to the real “badasses” in the world of sports. Without much hesitation Maradona was my very first choice for the upcoming line as he literally epitomizes the term.
The Maradona graphic was also featured on a cut and sew line of “BADASS” women’s dresses, that were available at select boutiques in North America and Japan that same season. Also visible on the dress are the Reggie Jackson and Dr. J designs. The dress was featured in a Flaunt magazine editorial that same season.
…..And from Germany, a different take on a Maradona t!!!! Amazing.
Hi Hitler! Lets Party !
20th century’s most hated tyrant, gets a Nu Rave make over, complete with hip hop “Kanye” shades on this insane and amazing example of a street t-shirt graphics from Bangkok. Seeing as Thailand was quite removed from the events and horrors of WW2, Hitler is usually depicted in the same way, as say, Marilyn, Che or The Sex Pistols, basically just another pop culture image.
I loved my adidas, but I love N.W.A. more.
One of my favorite bands of all time and one of my favorite tees.
This killer N.W.A. tee came from a trade for a pair of blue shell toe Adidas years ago. Who cares about the shell toes anyway!!
Ion Mag x Mycommunitee
Seven years is a long time to last in the independent magazine world. Our friends at ION have not only survived but have consistently grown, while making the magazine more interesting in both content and over all presentation. For the past several months we have collaborated with them on their Limited EDIT[ION] t-shirt series. Below are the three latest tees Mycommunitee has printed.
An Expo 86 inspired design by a very lanky and talented Vancouverite, Robert Mearns.
A killer news clip graphic from my pal, Devit aka The Dark.
And, the latest design is from Brian Donelly whose awesome paintings I recently saw at The Show & Tell gallery in Toronto.
Contact ION magazine directly to purchase any of these tees and Happy 7th ION!!
Teeny Milly was D.O.P.E.
Teenage Millionaire. Killer design, style, humor and a massive inspiration. I saw these guys’ stuff at a tradeshow when Some Product was just a glint in my eye, and was instantly in love.
Petroleum By-Product
Petroleum By-Product is an awesome, new-wave tinged band from Vancouver, NOT a duo of dreadlocked Dutch eco-warrior rave Dj’s !!!
After weeks, of literally being held at gun point in a dungeon like studio, by the very Spector like Soulkid1 aka Lord Godfrey, these guys are ready breathe in the fresh air of East Hastings and synth their way into our little hearts, tonite (April 16, 2010) at the Rickshaw theatre.
Last week, Sally from PBP stopped by Mycommunitee.com to get a tee made from their Superficial Artificial album cover. A very limited number of these tees may be available for purchase directly from the band.
