Powell Peralta Steve Caballero Ban This Dragon T-Shirt Athletic Heather

Description

About the Cab Ban This Dragon Artwork: In 1988 Powell-Peralta ran an « Artist Wanted » advertisement in TWS and Thrasher. The contest « winner » would get a job in the Powell-Peralta art department in Santa Barbara. The artist selected was Sean Cliver, mainly because his illustration style closely resembled VCJ’s. Cliver’s first deck design, the Barbee Ragdoll, was a departure from the traditional VCJ look, but when it came time to update the Caballero dragon, Sean emulated the master. At some point later, someone dubbed the graphic Cab « Ban This » Dragon since it was prominently featured in that video (think slow-motion sequence). Originally Released: 1988 Artwork by: Sean Cliver
