About the Powell Peralta x Bones Skateboarding Skeleton Artwork;
In 1977, artist Vernon Courtlandt Johnson (VCJ) illustrated two black and white posters to promote Bones. About a year later, VCJ sat down to work on a new project that would turn the Bones theme into the concept of a skateboarding skeleton. To help VCJ make the image as realistic as possible, George Powell bought a life-sized skeleton from a medical supply shop. VCJ named her Rosie. After several hours of propping and rigging, Rosie hung frozen in the position of a skateboarding skeleton. VCJ commenced work, his Skateboarding Skeleton graphic completed late '78, served as a Bones sticker and T-Shirt graphic.
The Skateboarding Skeleton was the first illustration created under the Powell Peralta brand.
