What a find! I love the graphic and the sentiment.
We all survive dozens of things daily. Awkward encounters, odd smells, crap movies, break ups, the list could go on and on. This shirt is like a call to raise the “devil sign” with nails painted bright red, to all of life’s little problems.
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.
An awesome, home made little number found at Community Thrift & Vintage in Vancouver’s Gastown. I dug this place. Great prices, nice staff and a chance to help the very community where the store is located by shopping there.
Hand painted tees can go either way – super hippie-dippie, sloppy junk or kind of weird and rad. I’d say this one is definitely the latter.
… about George Harrison is really awesome. He was in a band with two of the most gifted and groundbreaking musicians of all time, yet he always somehow remained enigmatic and seemingly unaffected by “it all”. Having recently watched the excellent and very long Scorsese documentary on him, I was reminded of how much I liked him and his music. This George Harrison tee has been available from Some Product for the past several seasons. He just never really goes out of style.
Bonus points for George – He financed Monty Python’s ” Life of Brian”.
When Chains of Love asked for some band merchandise, we collectively came up with the idea of printing customized symbols instead of the usual sizing, as well as hand dip dyeing a limited number of tees. It’s always a pleasure to work with talented people on something fun and a little unique. To hear the amazing C of L sound, cleak here.
Just unearthed some photos from the first, infamous Some Product co-produced Sleazeball night at the Penthouse Night Club. Great shot of Cotton wearing one of the earliest SP designs ever produced, that was also used for the poster.
“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!
… all actor/musician promo shots should aspire to this.
This little nugget of popular culture was my favorite find on a recent trip to Value Village. What I particularly love about this tee is that it proves once and for all what I always suspected. The Situation clearly stole the whole “sunglasses worn down your nose thing” from The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment!
About 6 years ago Some Product was asked to appear on MTV with models wearing some of our designs and give an interview. I asked my friends, Justin Gradin and “The Doctor” to come hang out, and maybe do a little “modelling”. They showed up wearing these amazing Megaphone gas mask contarptions, that “The Doctor” had made and to everyone’s amusement, scared the shit out of all the MTV wussies. Both are wearing the Some Product AG line released in 2006.
