REVOLT! by Some Product

At Some Product we have always looked at t-shirt graphics as a reflection of society and of the human psyche in general.

About a year ago we started working on a series of graphics and ideas called REVOLT. They are quite stark in nature and design, mostly black designs, printed on gray bodies. Each shirt is individually marked with a large, airbrushed, red X. It has an immediate, almost primal quality to it, reminding one of a door or a window marking, often seen during civll unrest. The wearer becomes the mark.

Whether it’s the IRA, Tiananmen Square or Zapatistas, uprisings and rebellions have always been an integral part of  human history and development.

REVOLT tees are available for wholesale now. Please contact us for information.

Special Limited Edition one-off REVOLT tees are available thru the Some Product online store.

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).

Ah Nostalgia

Nostalgia was a 2004 New Years’ Eve party held at the current “Red Gate” space on Hastings St. in Vancouver. Nostalgia successfully strived to be more then another over priced and predictable New Years’ party. It fused innovative performances, site specific set design and art. Most importantly it was a blast!

No need to feel Nostalgic however, as many of the same people involved in 2004, are throwing another New Years’ party at the Waldorf Hotel, which again promises to be something special.

Happy New Years’ and see you in 2011!

About 50-70 of these Nostalgia tees were produced specifically for the event.

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.
