52 Eugene Hütz by Simon Faircliff

Once again, the gypsy punks of Gogol Bordello, and specifically their Ukrainian lead singer Eugene Hütz, are the subject of one of Simon’s hand-painted tee designs.

I’m sure that a few of you will be reminded on a rather famous album cover from The Clash, which went on to be an extremely popular tee, when you take a look at this design. Just like the last Gogol Bordello tee, I’m drawn to this one because of the way that it represents the DIY ethic of punk, even though with the amount of time and effort that Simon puts into each tee (about six hours) it would probably be more cost-effective for him just to buy a tee from their merch stand, but clearly that isn’t the point, this tee is truly unique. Although, if you’d like one drop me an e-mail and we’ll work out how we can make it a bit less unique!

(It should probably be noted that this tee is © Jackie Canchola, and as such might suffer from a few copyright issues)

    Hi E mcauley, unfortunately, I don’t think that Simon is making them anymore, I think that his law studies got in the way at first and it went all quiet after that.

    I’m afraid not, I guess you could do what Simon did and just find a picture of Gogol Bordello, turn it into a stencil then paint onto a white tee with some fabric paint. There’s plenty of tutorials on the internet about how to print your owns tees.
