Tossed Salad was the name of a jumping contest series that Steve and I ran, sponsored by 2B. Our original Tossed Salad tee was a bit simpler and this was the newer version that followed. It still features the same image of Mike Forney jumping out of the bowl in Landsdowne. Many thanks

This was just one of many promo shirts we made that featured a picture of my cat Scamper. We made this shirt for the PLAY/Kink contest held at Scrap in Hoffman Estates, IL April 26-27 1997. The artwork by Mike Noonan features Scamper catching a paper ball, which is one of his favorite

The Torn design was one of my favorite logo shirts I did. It had a little punk rock feel to it. This was done on a Black or Grey shirt. This particular one is Hal’s personal shirt that he still wears to this day!

Big thanks to Shawn Ross for posting a pic of his Bowling Team shirt by 2B. The artwork was done by Steve Buddendeck and portrays various members of the 2B racing team. Who’s who budman? The back had the same illustration but smaller in one color with the word TEAM beneath (see

Jerry Moody was a cool cat. He had a sweet corduroy jacket, drove a classic car, skated and was just and over fun guy to be around. Jerry was hanging around when I started coming up with the first Useless designs and made this sweet little drawing that ended up as the Kid shirt. I mis

The Incognito tee. Kind of cool? Kind of boring? The jury is still out. What do you think?

And this is another shirt I printed with a swear on it. I was probably inspired by Shitluck at the time. This is one of those shirts that the guys on BMX Board talk about they would wear when they were younger but now that they have kids it would not happen. Just let your kids wear it

The Long Logo tee was in the last year batch of Useless tee’s. I did like this one a little more than the others. It was simple and I liked that I was promoting a place that I really liked living at the time. Not for the sports most people love but for the incredible street the
