Skate Skeleton T-Shirt

In 1977, artist VCJ illustrated two black and white posters to promote Bones Wheels. About a year later, Court focused on working on a new project that would transform the Bones theme into the concept of a skateboard skeleton. To help Court make the image as realistic as possible, George bought a life-size skeleton from a medical supply store. Court named her Rosie. After several hours of propping and rigging, Rosie hung frozen in the position of a skateboard skeleton. Court set to work. His piece, completed toward the end of 1978, served as a Bones sticker and T-shirt graphic, the first illustration created under the new Powell Peralta brand.
