DAISY OF LOVE'S CAGE, OWNS AT LEAST ONE DECENT TEE-SHIRT DESPITE DANGEROUS AMOUNTS OF DOUCHEBAGGERY

Wednesday, September 01, 2010

All fans of lowest common denominator T.V will be familiar with the bottom-trawling reality "stars" of US & A's "Daisy of Love" show...
If you were watching last Tuesday you woulda seen 'Cage', the softly spoken tattooed goon get drunk, burn himself, then embark on a futile and flailing attempt to beat down some other ass-clown contestant - ending only in big weepy tears, a busted face, bruised ego and destroyed tuff dude reputation...

Well we here at Illicit just want to let you know that it had nothing to do with his FanTastic tee shirt - our very own Martyfuck's classic 'Born to Lose'! Cage - great taste in tees, but a massive pansy when it comes to the old biffo...come to NZ and the ETK boys will be happy to help you out fulla!

In the hood!

Holy shit! A new restaurant opened up on K road, and it's not a kebab shop! Hallelujah! Man, we've been eagerly waiting for Sal's to open up on K road ever since we heard the news, 3-4 months back. Welcome to K road guys!

Another recent development on K road is the Ironbank building, this thing is MASSIVE and has won a whole bunch of fancy architecture awards that we don't really know anything about, all we know is it looks like some shit straight out of Star Wars landed right in the middle of K road, what a bunch of flash guys...

And last but not least, we regret to inform you of the demise of the legendary VEGAS GIRLS strip club! A local insTITution for boobie-connoisseurs Auckland-wide, the Vegas building has recently gone on the market, so if any of you fancy investor types are reading this, buy that shit & live the dream!!!

Young Sid leaves for New York City!

Monday, August 09, 2010

Our boy Young Sid dropped in today on his way to the airport. He's about to get on a plane bound for the big apple, where he's got a month's worth of hustling to do, label meetings and making contacts in the birthplace of hip-hop itself!

Remember the little people Sid!

THE DENTIST

Friday, August 06, 2010

We're not sure whether he walked off the set of a Kevin Smith movie, or came straight out of the pages of a Garth Ennis comic, all we know is that they call him THE DENTIST, and if you see him around, you better have brushed your teeth that morning.

New Tees Dropping Today!

Sunday, February 21, 2010

E.S.P

Sunday, February 14, 2010

I'm guessing from time to time you wonder who prints all the Illicit T-shirts..?? No it ain't no sweatshop in China, Surprisingly; It's a sweatshop in Auckland!

E.S.P printed the very first Illicit tee, some 13 years back, it was "Reaper Girl" from what I remember, and Ean was the guy that pulled the squeegee!

It's always entertaining going up there, the constant bickering, back stabbing & fighting over the stereo makes for belly laughs galore!

Aside from that these guys are the best printers in the country, having won numerous awards for technical printing.

Oh and they're also complete freaks, check out the ink on these boys! Rock & fuckin' roll!

Howdy Folks,
We'd like to take a moment to introduce you to someone...

Aaron Kerr is an up & coming illustrator/graphic artist, who recently clawed his way free from a life of rigorous dairy farming & fornicating with livestock to become the latest member of the sleep-deprived gang of vandals that the world has come to know as The Illicit Clothing Company (That's us...)

Here's a look at some of his past works, keep on scrolling for a sneak peak at some of the brand new shit we got him pumping out.

Guess who stopped in last week? That's right, the one and only Californian hardcore juggernaut, TERROR!

SLAYER & MEGADETH

Monday, October 05, 2009

Last night we joined the Sacred tattoo crew for a bit of an early xmas celebration, and how better to celebrate the birth of baby jesus than with a good old Slayer & Megadeth concert!

Jesus is a what? We can't decipher the hidden message in this one?

A little bit of product placement there with the boys from Megadeth...

Here's part of our crew lookin' pretty for the camera!

Azza loves metal, could you tell?

Can you guess who these guys came to see?

Alyssa spotted an oldschool Martin Emond tattoo in the crowd & couldn't help herself...

Can we get this guy into parliament?

Best tattoo of the night/century.

Pretty much sums it all up really.

ILLICIT RIPPED OFF!!!!

Wednesday, April 01, 2009

To all of you who might have missed the news last night here is the news segment re: "Illicit Cola" stealing our name.

Just to set the record straight we were NEVER contacted by this deluded guy until, as I say in the interview, they offered us a free 6 pack..I have never been this angry in my life..Why on earth would we want to help someone put out something as corporate and ugly as a cola?? It is everything Illicit is against.

And he says he wouldn't mind someone putting out "Illicit lawnmowers"??!! Of course he wouldn't - cause it aint his god dam brand!!!!..Send Steve an email...(even stole my�name!)�enquiries@demonenergy.com

ILLICIT COLA DEBACLE

Monday, March 16, 2009

Has anyone seen the new "Illicit" Cola that Demon energy drinks

has put out??? Look familiar? Yep, there sure are some very unimaginative "Advertising"
folks out there! We've had our artwork ripped off by a lot of people but a local one!?

And how bad is that advertisement? Those two rats-nest haired girls look like they would
rather be anywhere else in the world than promoting this no doubt foul tasting brew. And
then there's shadow-bloke over there who looks like he's had a sip & is gonna be real sick,
real soon!
