RIP The Ripper - Art Show: Fifty eight artists were invited to interpret Vernon Courtlandt Johnson’s influential skate graphic “The Ripper”, originally designed in 1978.
The Ripper graphic is synonymous with the Bones Brigade and Powell Peralta and spawned some funny parodies from Blind and Shorty’s during the skate industry marketing war of the late 80’s.
The piece above by Don Pendleton is one I particularly like.
