Powell Peralta Skull and Sword Patch
Details
About the Skull and Sword Artwork:
The Rodriguez "Skull & Sword" deck marked Powell-Peralta's first professional signature graphic. Designed by Ray and illustrated by V.C. Johnson under George Powell’s art direction in 1979, it debuted in two shapes: a 10" x 30" "Widetail" and a 10" x 28.5" "Snub Nose." Available initially in Dayglo yellow, orange, purple, and green "Brite-Lite" finishes, the deck later appeared in various colors with an added Powell-Peralta logo. By 1983, Ray’s signature was replaced with the Powell-Peralta script, and the graphic extended to T-shirts and stickers.
