Yes, there was life before
the Revenge revolution. This page includes clothing made by Ryan and Evan before they
founded the monstrosity that is R.V.N.G. Also here, you will find some creations
that were made after "the genesis", but were tests runs and/or mistakes.

screen printing on t-shirt |
notes:
Evan made this in one of his grade school classes not long after the first Batman movie
came out. Note the prodigeous use of English... "Rad", "Hey Dude", and
of course "Bogis" (sic). |
notes:
Evan has an iconography fetish of sorts. This image came off of a big fire hydrant sticker
he purchased from Walmart. Unfortunately the shirt is pretty faded now... Note
Evan's bad hair day. |
notes:
it says: "This is a fifty dollar Abercrombie and Fitch t-shirt". Social
commentary at it's finest... |
notes:
it says: "now it's your turn to see misanthropy". YAR! I'm thinking this
one needs a RVNG resurrection... |
notes:
(click image for more pics) It was once an innocuous Michigan State shirt... turned EVIL.
One of Ryan's early experiments with screen printing. |

notes:
(click image for hi-res version). Ryan made this humorously friend-o-phobic tee as
something to wear to the Momus / Kahimi Karie concert that he, Evan, and Evan's future
roomate Yohei, attended. It originally said "Evan Hayden is not my friend", but
eventually some of the letters came off, and it doesn't say Evan's surname anymore. Here is a picture of the three young
men with Kahimi Karie, and you can see the shirt in action. Momus didn't get the joke. |
notes:
This was Ryan's first ever photo-emulsion sceen print, and it turned out well. The
image is one of someone's artwork that was comissioned for Detroit's C-POP gallery. |
notes:
Evan made a parody of the Nike logo, with some vulger Japanese vocab.
"Kuso" means "shit". It gets chuckles out of our Japanese friends... |
notes:
This was a quick shirt made with some iron-on glitter letters that Evan got in a
Virgin Suicides promtional kit. The original iron letters were "T.R.I.P." and
"Stone Fox". |
notes:
This shirt was made as a "X-mas in July" present for Ryan's girlfriend
Meena. Who can argue with a Prince shirt, for God's sake? |
