George and VCJ
Vernon Courtlandt Johnson, aka VCJ, is back in the mix with Powell-Peralta. After numerous years away, the artist that inspired the Rip the Ripper Art Show and created many of Powell-Peralta's timeless images, is busy working on new graphics as the brand marches forward.

My heart soars like a hawk to see this in full effect. Amen!
Wow—incredible news!!!
This guy is a living Legend.
Great news! I am with Kyle on this one... whens the history book coming out. My wife,s going to hate this... More wall hangers!
Totally awesome. I'm new to skating and love the skull art of Powell peralta. New skulls, totally rad!
One of my favorite boards and graphics of all time is classic VCJ,RODNEY MULLEN ( CHESS ) DECK
VCJ was my favorite interview while shooting SK8FACE, I can't tell you how stoked I am to hear that this amazing person is back in the mix!
is that a photo of his 2 new skeleton graphics at the top? oh no, that's just the old men themselves. I didn't know 80 year olds skated?
BIG MOVES... thank you george for getting the team back together! i have a new found respect for you.
could updated bones brigade member graphics be in the works?!? launch with the documentary?!?
and yes... need a VCJ book.
I'm with Kyle, book would be so cool, though a lot of VCJ's artwork stares down at me from my office wall it would be great in print. Can't wait for the next deck releases.
Nice!!!Congrats from Barcelona!!!

after Stacy back, now VCJ..!

YES!!!!
I've waited for this and wondered why it hadn't happened before now. Can't wait to see the new graphics. VCJ is one of the greatest artists of my generation.

This is literally the best news I've heard all year, since Mike V rejoined. Cab, V and VCJ all steering Powell Peralta back to the top!
Hurrah, men in their 60´s still rock, and may still skate... ask them first...
Whatever they do, they know the way to get our attention back!

the most 'timeless' and 'solid' graphics ever designed.
i'm truly looking forward to seeing what he contributes in the near future.
powell is SO lucky to have him

VERY cool. Stoked to see what comes next! I think it's time for another Powell Peralta revolution. Count me in... again!
Awsome news for Powell Peralta. Even better news for the collectors of Cortland's Art! Loved working with you in the 80's as owner of Freelance Graphics. May you be as sucessful as ever! Keep me posted.
