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.

Honestly such an incredible shirt - better quality than 90% of graphic tees you'd find at any retailer like UO.Rating
The print quality is so solid and the cotton weight itself is sturdy. Especially appreciate that they give more length and bagginess in the sizing. 100% copping other designs. (Posted on 12/31/2021)- My Favorite shirt! Review by Adam
