Nixon x Bones Brigade Powell Peralta Tony Hawk Skull Watch

Nixon x Bones Brigade Powell Peralta Tony Hawk Skull Watch This post was originally published in 2017 when the Nixon x Bones Brigade Time Tellers were first launched. We have refreshed this blog and bubbled it back up because the Nixon x Bones Brigade Time Tellers are also back. All 6 of the original Time Tellers in the collection are being auctioned off in a single box set for the first time ever. And when we say supply is limited, we mean it: there is only one box set available. Each of the 6 Time Tellers in the box set comes with its own custom art on the watch dial, the name of a Bones Brigade rider on the caseback, and in their own individual custom packaging. The entire set is shipped in a wooden box that has been autographed by the members of the Bones Brigade. Proceeds for this auction will go directly to The Skatepark Project. Put your bid into the auction today and keep reading to see the post originally published with the 2017 release of these limited edition Nixon x Bones Brigade Time Tellers. The six defining graphics designed by artist Vernon Courtlandt Johnson, sold hundreds of thousands of decks and tee shirts because they so concisely represented skateboarding’s disenfranchised world. Upon their releases in the 1980s, they were collectively viewed by the non-initiated as dangerous, weird, rebellious, confusing, and artistic. Today they are considered a symbol for what it means to be a skateboarder. The Nixon x Bones Brigade Time Tellers are available only at your local skate retailer and come with a free zine with purchase. Dive deep into the story behind the iconic works and read the full interviews with the team, Stacy Peralta, and J. Grant Brittain. I don’t think skateboarding had an aesthetic before Court and Powell. I think they created an aesthetic for skateboarding. – Tony Hawk I appreciate how Court uses the lines – they’re strong and super bold. – Steve Caballero They don’t seem complicated, but man, at the time, they were. They were masterpieces. – Mike McGill I credit George with this and maybe it was based on budget and costs, but he forced Courtney to draw down from where he wanted to draw, I think. He simplified it. He wanted the lines to be more simple and cleaner and easier to screen and more readable. – Lance Mountain Court’s style … you can call it pride of whatever, but I looked at other company’s graphics and felt so grateful. No graphics compared to it. – Rodney Mullen
