About the Vato Rat Bones Artwork:

The creator of the Vato Rat, Craig Stecyk, drew inspiration from the Santa Monica Dogtown surf-skate scene and the surrounding Hispanic gang culture and graffiti. He incorporated this influence into his work while airbrushing Zephyr surfboards in the 1970s. In 1983, Stacy Peralta revived the iconic Vato Rat as the "Rat Bones" graphic for Powell-Peralta, featuring in advertising, on decks, stickers, and t-shirts.

Originally Released: 1983
