POWELL PERALTA / Rip the Ripper Art Show

RIP THE RIPPER ART SHOW

On January 23rd, 2009, Powell-Peralta hosted the Rip the Ripper Art Show. Fifty eight artists had pieces on display. The reason for the show was to celebrate The Ripper graphic. Many skaters and artists have been influenced by VCJs image over the years, we wanted to do something that would pay respect to VCJ and get skaters stoked. We invited a group of artists and asked them to interpret The Ripper in their own style. The reception was a big hit.

Vernon Courtland Johnson aka VCJ is back in the mix with Powell-Peralta. After numerous years away, the artist that inspired the Rip the Ripper Art Show and created many of Powell-Peralta's timeless images, is busy working on new graphics as the brand marches forward.
