Powell Peralta Skateboard Skeleton 3 Lapel Pin Glow in the Dark

In 1977, artist VCJ illustrated two black-and-white posters promoting Bones wheels. About a year later, Court set out to work on a new project that would translate the Bones theme into the concept of a skateboarding skeleton. To help Court make the image as realistic as possible, George purchased a life-size skeleton from a medical supply store. Court named her Rosie. After several hours of propping and rigging, Rosie was frozen in the position of a skateboarding skeleton. Court got to work. His piece, completed in late 1978, served as a Bones sticker and T-shirt graphic, the first illustration created under the new Powell Peralta brand.
