22# Chaos Reigns!

If you haven't experienced the Lars Von Trier film "Antichrist", you probably won't know what this about, but this film is one part creepy violent horror and depraved sex, one part shlock. From IFC Center.

21# Owl In A Tree

Yep, an owl Listening to a first generation ipod. Why? I dunno. But he's probably listening to the band Owl City (ouch). From Target

20# Virgin Record store T-shirt

Not much to say about this one except that I never wear it except when my kids are around (one of 'em got it for me for Christmas). From Virgin

19# Farrah Fawcett-Majors

All of my friends who have known me since high school agree: I was obsessed with Farrah Fawcett-Majors. She was probably the first celebrity I had a full-scale crush on. I had the poster, I bought every magazine cover she was on, I saw "Logan's Run 8 times for her little role in it ("Holly"),  and at 15, I owned the original t-shirt. A year or two ago, I bought this iron-on and made my own shirt in commemoration of her death. RIP Farrah. From Me.

18# Upside down tree with birds.

 

This is a strangely popular shirt. I've seen it on TV, on the street, everywhere. I stopped wearing it because I didn't want to pass somebody wearing it on the street. By the way. I don't really get what it's supposed to mean. From Target

17# Jean Michel Basquiat's Cassius Clay

Another favorite. Based on Jean Michel Basquiat's drawing of Cassius Clay aka. Muhammad Ali. I never could wear it much, though. too large. from MOMA

16# Beatles - Let it Be gray

"Let it Be" was actually the first Beatles album I owned. Talk about working your way backwards. I even owned a "Let It Be" T-shirt in High School. It's probably considered to be their worse album. Of course, "bad" Beatles is better than %90 of everyone else. From Target

15# Guitar Wolf

I read about these guys a few years ago. A super loud Japanese punk band modeled after The Ramones, leather jackets and all. Had to find a T to go with the CDs I was acquiring. Unfortunately, I could only locate this ugly yellow model. From ?.

14# Block Rockin' Beats

Early DJ style T. for spinnin' on your back old style. From Ecko.

My Own Design

Click To Enlarge

A buddy of mine asked me recently to create a T-shirt design for his online radio station,
The Bocx.  Here's what I came up with.

Miles- Kinda Blue

 

Yup, Miles again. Still searching for that perfect MD shirt. This one's kinda straightforward, but works well at jazz festivals with one of those double beer helmet thingies on your noggin. From Old Glory

13# On The Corner

 

Miles again this time the cover of his super funky album, On The Corner. I remember almost drowning one Summer on a kayak wearing this. From Old Glory.

13# Music Rorschach shirt

 

 Look close, and you'll see all kinds of jazz horns and musicians in a Rorschach type pattern. From Waxpoetics 

12# Tree Of Life

Not sure what I liked about this one. I guess it's a tree cutaway. Maybe I liked the colors at the time or something. From Brooklyn Industries.

12# Young Michael Jackson

My favorite Michael Jackson will always be the Jackson Five era Michael Jackson. I grew up on "The Love You Save" "Ben" and "ABC" He did go on to become phenomenal, but I always thought there st of the world just caught on to his potential. From vendor on street.

11# John Coltrane: Lush Life

From an early John Coltrane album cover. Nice use of color. From Friend Or Foe

10# Supa Soul

 

Supa Soul radio shirt. Like the funky little afro kid with the guitar. From Urban Outfitters

9# Behold The Silver Surfer

Always thought the Silver Surfer was badass. Bald, slick, and ridin' a board. But the brother's missin' a penis. From Target

8# Bang Da Drum

I used to think the drum was the coolest instrument. Who wouldn't want to bang on sh*t all day long? From Target

7# We Live in Brooklyn, baby

Fuggeddaboutit. Got this T to commemorate the coolest borough In NYC, Brooklyn. From Brooklyn Industries.

6 #Gil Scott-Heron

My man Gil passed away last week. A true legend, often considered the grandfather of rap, but I always thought of him as just a great poet, musician and singer. I've had this one for a while now.
From Ebay vendor

5# Bay Area Record Fair

I'm a big music addict and I love vinyl, so I had to have this one. I usually don't like T-shirts based on fake events, but I made an exception in this case.

4# Holy sweat-stains Batman! It's a Bat shirt.

 Gotta have the Bat-shirt. I hate the kind with the giant Bat symbol, though. Kinda tacky. This vintage design rules. Nice and subtle. From Uniqlo.

3# Love Thy Neighborhood

Cool design. I guess it depends on what neighborhood you live in. I've sure lived in some crappy ones. I think I can wear this now in my current neighborhood with some honesty. From The Gap

2# John Lennon Power To The People

John Lennon tune "Power To The People" was about the black power movement in the 70's. Right on, John! From Target.

1 # Miles Boxing

 

One of my favorites. Don't wear it much because it's  little too graphic but love the image - very unusual. I saw a some guy in a rap video wearing it recently.

From Urban Outfitters.
