Artist Craig Stecyk created the Vato Rat. Coming from the Santa Monica Dogtown "Z-Boy" surf-skate scene of the 1970's, Stecyk was surrounded by Hispanic gang culture and graffiti. At the time, he was airbrushing many Zephyr surfboards and he blended that influence into his work. The Vato Rat was one of the many symbols he used to decorate surfboards and generally mark territory at local surf spots. In 1983, Stacy Peralta decided to bring the Vato Rat back as a Powell-Peralta graphic. They called it "Rat Bones," and it was then used in advertising, on decks, stickers, and t-shirts. This is a men's crew sweatshirt that is premium, soft, and mid-weight.
