Skateboarding Skeleton Kids T-Shirt

In 1977, the artist VCJ illustrated two black-and-white posters to promote Bones wheels. About a year later, Court began a new project that would transform the Bones theme into the concept of a skateboard skeleton. To make the image as realistic as possible, George purchased a life-sized skeleton from a medical supply store. Court named it Rosie. After several hours of assembly and positioning, Rosie was set in the pose of a skateboarding skeleton. Court got to work. His piece, completed in late 1978, served as the Bones sticker and T-shirt graphic and was the first illustration created under the new brand Powell Peralta. Originally released: 1979 Artwork by: Vernon Courtlandt Johnson Features: Screen-printed logo T-shirt with large graphic on the back and small graphic on the left chest Screen-printed label on the inside 100% soft spun cotton jersey, pre-shrunk.
