Powell-Peralta x Andy Anderson "Heron Skull" Artwork
The Heron Skull graphic was inspired by Anderson's ancestral Nordic heritage, and his "elegant and eloquent" approach to skateboarding, which spans freestyle, vert, bowls, and street.
Designed by Powell Peralta artist Vernon Courtlandt Johnson (VCJ), the artwork features a "Skull" wearing a unique helmet with "elegant" Heron motif details, and a "Heron Skull" to the helmet's centre front.
A stylised multi-layered visual that looks like a skull from one angle and a Heron's silhouette from another, blending Powell Peralta's iconic artistic heritage, with Anderson's distinct style. A metaphor for his non-conformist approach to traditional skateboarding mandates, living authentically through his style, with the helmet further symbolising Anderson's considered choice in safety, and his quest to de-stigmatise helmet use in skateboarding.
The "Heron Skull" graphic becoming Anderson's first Powell-Peralta pro-graphic in 2019.
