About the Skateboarding Skeleton Artwork;
In 1977, artist Vernon Courtlandt Johnson illustrated two black and white posters to promote Bones wheels. About a year later, Courtlandt 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 Powell 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.
