It's odd when an idea comes to you that makes no sense but makes perfect sense. That's what happened when I started working on a set of 1980s skateboard decks based on the 1986 Supreme Court.
Here's the first one
Justice Lewis Powell, appointed by Nixon and served on the Supreme Court from 1972-1987.
It's in the style of the 1986 Tracker, Dan Wilkes deck, illustrated by Garry S. Davis.
Powell had a bit of a reptilian feel to him.
My drawing hand is way out of practice and I don't feel like I'm doing the original justice. Then again it's for Powell, who led us down the path to "corporations are people" and "money is speech"- so maybe I'm being too flattering.
