Quality from the past


After a daily binge on ffffound, I came across these old Powell Peralta Skate Designs. These are still cool after 20+ years. The McGill has always been a favorite, damn thats tough! VCJ or Vernon Courtlandt Johnson is responsible for all the good early Powell Peralta stuff. Not too much information on the web about him, but what an influence.
Below is a retort from Ben
(Kevin Harris by Powell Peralta and Street Creep by Santa Cruz)
Thanks!

Thanks for the response. The Kevin Harris and the Street Creep by Santa Cruz is great. All other Santa Cruz designs weren't up to par in my opinion.
A future post we house the best video game art, so your retort will be fully exhausted!

Hey man this dude really has had a big impact on me as an artist. I am not sure I was really aware of it till I found this old clip board I had as a kid. I could not afford the skateboards or the stickers. So I did this weird drawing of a mike mcgill image on paper an stuck it to my clip board. I was like 8 or 9. It is cool to see these stickers again.

These images were the coolest back when we were kids and still hold up today! Thanks for sharing:)
