About the Skateboarding Skeleton Artwork:
In 1977, artist VCJ illustrated two black-and-white posters to promote Bones wheels. About a year later, Court sat down to work on a new project that would turn that Bones theme into the concept of a skateboarding skeleton. To help Court make the image as realistic as possible, George bought a life-sized skeleton from a medical supply shop. Court named her Rosie. After several hours of propping and rigging, Rosie hung frozen in the position of a skateboarding skeleton. Court got to work. His piece, completed near the end of 1978, served as a Bones sticker and T-shirt graphic, the first illustration created under the new Powell Peralta brand.

- Perfect Review by Adam McLaurin
This shirt met all expectations and the quick delivery was a huge bonus. The nostalgia these shirts and designs bring back are pretty special. It's great to be out and have someone recognize these Bones Brigade designs/shirts and chat with total strangers about what a special time these guys brought to us in our youth. Thank you for keeping these "old relics" alive. (Posted on 7/12/2022)Rating - I like the color Review by Brian
Powell Peralta have the best logos in skateboarding. The throwback ones are great and remind me of the old days. (Posted on 5/4/2022)Rating - vintage graphics and material Review by Ivan
This feels just like the skate shirts of the era, a little rough. I usually wear size medium and this hugs a little too much. Consider sizing up. Color and Bones graphics are awesome though. (Posted on 5/18/2021)Rating - 5 stars Review by Tyler Forsberg
