Powell Peralta Pint Glass Vato Rat Blacklight
The Vato Rat design, emblazoned on a striking pint glass, is the brainchild of artist Craig Stecyk. Rooted in the vibrant Santa Monica Dogtown “Z-Boy” surf-skate scene of the 1970s, Stecyk’s creation is deeply influenced by the Hispanic gang culture and graffiti that characterized his environment. At that time, he was prolific in airbrushing Zephyr surfboards, incorporating elements from this craft into his artwork. This pint glass not only showcases the iconic Vato Rat design but also features exceptional blacklight responsiveness, adding a luminous and captivating dimension to its appearance. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts alike, the glass radiates a unique glow that pays homage to its rich cultural and artistic origins.
This 16oz cobalt blue glass features stunning fluorescent pink and green inks. It is designed for hand wash only; please avoid placing it in the dishwasher or microwave, as the fluorescent inks are heat-sensitive and will be removed if exposed to dishwasher cycles. The glass itself is colored, not stained, sprayed, or painted, ensuring the color will not fade over time. It is both food and liquid safe, making it perfect for everyday use.
