About the Powell-Peralta Cab Street Dragon Artwork;
In 1987 "Street" skating was rapidly gaining popularity. Steve Caballero was not only a excelled "Vert" skater, but was also a strong contender on the "Street-Style" circuit. Powell-Peralta decided to introduce an additional Caballero deck model specifically designed for "Street Skating". Artist V.C. Johnson created a new dragon graphic with a bats and bones background, distinguishing it from Caballero's 1986 "Chinese Dragon" "Vert" deck. Cab's name was also created in the bat shape since Cab was into Batman at the time. The Powell-Peralta logo was made using the font from the skate video "The Search for Animal Chin", which was also released in 1987. 
The graphic solidified the dragon as Steve Caballero's signature image, inspired by his birth year (Year of the Dragon) and his admiration for Bruce Lee.
