Powell Peralta Rat Bones Hoodie - Alpine Green

Regarding the art of Rat Rat Vato:

The Vato Rat was created by artist Craig Stecyk. Coming from the 1970s Santa Monica Dogtown "Z-Boy" surf-skate scene, Stecyk was surrounded by Hispanic gang culture and graffiti. At the time, he was airbrushing a lot of Zephyr surfboards and blended that influence into his work. The Vato Rat was one of many symbols he used to decorate surfboards and generally mark territory at local surf spots. In 1983, Stacy Peralta decided to bring the Vato Rat back as a Powell-Peralta graphic. They called it "Rat Bones," and it was used in advertising, on decks, stickers, and t-shirts.
