'GATEKEEPER' t-shirt (black)
In NYC, EVERY storefront gate has stickers baring these graphics/graphics much like these all over them. These guys' sticker game puts every street artist, and streetwear-street-team to shame. The subtle yet abundant existence of these stickers appealed to the 'found artist' part of my brain, also I'm a sucker for gritty, outer-borough-bare-basics design. No complex redesigning needed, I just peeled and scanned one of these stickers, added 'Scumlife' and didn't even change the phone number. That's right there is a real human on the other end of that phone number. Found art! 24 Hours! 5 Boroughs! Yes We Can!

'Morrie's Wig Shop' t-shirt (black)
Remember in the movie GoodFellas when Robert Deniro strangled the fat guy who owned the wig store because he never payed Deniro back the money he borrowed to do a crappy commercial for his wig shop? This was the commercial. Not really worth getting choked over, huh?

Beast Hombre- Bootleg Resin Action Figure
Over the past year or so I developed an addiction to bootleg action figures.You know the kind where they have five Spiderman figures with Chinese glowing chest action? There's also the variety packs that have every action figure that ever existed, in the same pack, which often have a big-headed Superman with a Samurai sword... and glowing chest, always with the glowing chest.
Since then quite a few days have been spent trying to get my fix in Brooklyn 99 cent stores. I have also been on a quest to acquire all the toys I had in the 80's that my mother swears she hasn't thrown out... as well as the toys she wouldn't buy me as a kid. That crusade has led to many a night sneaking around on Ebay.
Anyway, all of this brings us to: 'Beast Hombre'... with glowing chest action. A bi-product of my obsession with Chinese bootlegs and 80's action figures. They are handmade out of resin by me, TONE TANK. I made 24 of them.

TONE TANK- 'KING OF SURF GUITAR RAP' hand painted CD
A little while back I figured out that nobody needs a cd of anything. Music is information. Information is free on the internet. I also figured out that manufactured cd's are so impersonal. So I hand painted a bunch of 'King of Surf Guitar Rap' cd's. They are hand painted to order. They are art. Hell, I'll even add a little customized touch if you ask me nicely. I will paint these for as long of a time as I feel that I want to. The music from this cd is free here.

'Scumlife Pit/Teamsters' t-shirt (black)
This shirt mixes the Scumlife Pitbull with the Teamsters logo and reads, "International Brotherhood of Scumlife" with the word 'UNITY' and 'Local 718'. This design is inspired by the many union shirts that my Pop used to wear when I was a kid. To this day he still calls me every time an entrance exam for the union is coming up.

'I Shoulda Killed You Yesterday' t-shirt (black)
This tee reminds me of the tees they used to sell in Times Square in the 80's. You know like: "Welcome to New York Now Duck MotherF**Ker", or "New York F**king City",etc. Actually,this one is way more bad-ass then all of those. It reads: "I SHOULDA KILLED YOU YESTERDAY", with an image of a bandana'd subhuman character pointing his finger with one hand and holding a revolver in the other.

'Keep Coney Island Freaky' t-shirt (yellow-gold)
Coney Island has been the People's Playground for all New Yorkers (as well as people from all over the world) for more than a hundred years. A place where normal meets freaky (the real freaks are outside of the side-show) and people of all ages, colors and classes blend. Coney Island functions as many independent businesses that form one amazing place. Right now the developers are trying to turn Coney Island into one big luxury-condo slash shopping-mall. This tee is our way of speaking out against that.

Mr.Met Tee
The last time the Mets won a World Series, I was seven. Me and my pops actually attended a good number of games that season, they really were the "Amazing Mets" that year. Within four years I got into the skateboarding and punk rock and couldn't care less about sports. One of my favorite bands back then was D.R.I and their "Thrashing Man" logo was one of the strongest band logos of all time. A little while back I went to a Met game and somehow came up with the crazy idea of combining their logo with Mr.Met. This is how it looks. You too, would probably be 'ready to thrash' after going 20 years with out winning a World Series.

Nervous Tee
This tee was inspired by the Nervous Records logo (with a touch of Scumlife Pitbull). In the early to mid-nineties Nervous and it's gang of sub-labels put out many classic Hip-Hop albums that actually got mainstream radio play, remember those days? This is an ode to a time when Timb's covered feet and Walkmans were bumping Blackmoon on the way to the bodega to get a "Dutchie" and a bag of chips. Nowaday's it's neon sneakers, iPod shuffles and "gourmet" delis.

Tommy Ain't Tee
This design is a shout out to GZA's, of The Wu-Tang Clan, song 'Labels' off of his 1995 classic album, 'Liquid Swords'. The song was a middle-finger to all the record labels that were screwing their artists (so, pretty much all of them), and he started the song by saying, "Tommy ain't my motha-fuckin' Boy (when you fake moves on a n*** you employ)". Take the ninjas from his album cover, flip them with the dancing Tommy Boy silhouettes and boom, there you have it.

Build a Nation
Bad Brains are hands-down my favorite band of all time. I had to do an ode to the Bad Brains, but a million people had already done a million different variations of the self-titled album cover where the White House is being struck by a lightning bolt. I realized no one had done a take on just as iconic 'Build A Nation' album cover, so we flipped that design with our friend the Scumlife Pitbull keeping the same 'Destroy Babylon' sentiment.

Black Six Tee
This design was inspired by the album/flyer art of early 80's L.A. hardcore-punk band, Black Flag. Black Flag's album art and flyers were usually drawn by Raymond Pettibon, and always depicted some type of All-American character having a complete mental breakdown.
This shirt is to celebrate the release of rapper Tone Tank's "The Black Six Sessions Ep" which is available for free download@
