A few years ago I happened upon this weird Bl’ast! shirt on ebay. It said Bl’ast! on the back with power underneath it. I assumed it was made off the original screens with “the, of and expression” taped off. When I got this shirt in the mail, it had another surprise. It was printed on a Santa Cruz skate shirt.
I am still not certain why/when these shirts were printed, but I can only assume it is related to the Bl’ast! and Santa Cruz poster era.
A few weeks ago, a different variation of this shirt popped up on ebay. Blue shirt with the devil girl as a small pocket print, and the same Bl’ast! “power” logo on the back. This time with the added bonus of a rat. The tag has been cut out, but I am assuming that is was a Santa Cruz shirt as well.
Can anyone shed some light on the rat or the origins of these shirts? Also, can you believe Mr. McKirdy, livewire ceo, will not trade me my shirt back for these 2 gems? Goes to show what kind of Bl’ast! fan he is! ;)
