I’ve been a fan of Jello Biafra and Powell Peralta skateboards for almost 30 years! One of my first punk albums was “Plastic Surgery Disasters” by the Dead Kennedys, and I rode several Powell Peralta boards in the 80′s including the Lance Mountain, Mike McGill, Tommy Guerrero, Steve Saiz, and Tony Hawk. I also imitated the way Lance Mountain dressed in the first Bones video because he wore khakis, Vans, and a t-shirt, so since I had to wear khakis to private school, I’d just change into a t-shirt and Vans right after school! When Jello Biafra, who I’ve worked with on a few projects, asked me to design some boards for the Alternative Tentacles record label 33 and1/3 anniversary, I was more than happy to collaborate with all of the players. The image of Jello is based(with a few creative liberties taken) on a photo by Glen E. Friedman. There should be a poster coming soon. The Alternative Tentacles board uses Winston Smith’s awesome A.T. logo as the focal point, with design embellishments by me. Ask for the boards at a skate shop, and look out for the poster in late Dec.  -Shepard
