BON3Sv3 - Battleship Gray
$12.00
This patch - BON3S v3 is the skull rendition of our popular SC[0]UT owl. This patch has been laser engraved on a black and battleship gray leather-like material from an original in-house hand illustrated drawing. We digitized the sketch to optimize and push the edge of detail to show the abilities that the engraving process can achieve.
The skull originates from a tattoo/ street art styled graffiti with hints of influence by the likes of H.R. Giger, the actual skull of an owl, and even elements from my favorite Oakley sunglasses as well as a few other subtle twists. All of this has been illustrated to look like the skull of our popular SCOUT owl. This patch tells the story of Ezekiel in a dark place - "The Valley Of Dry Bones" famously paraphrased with the line "Son of man, can these bones live?" - another incredible story from Ezekiel - chapter 37. This scripture tells a parable of hope and renewed purpose in response to much complaining by the Israelites (Chapter 37 reading posted below).
The story of the valley of bones is imagined like New Yorks Ground Zero - but bones!
This has a reminiscent glimpse of the rubble left behind on 9/11 and the heroes, stories, memorial and new tower that rose up from this place of national torment. This story of the Valley of Bones pairs well with our 2019 9/11 memorial patch also being released just prior to 9/11 as a matching patch color and material to our memorial patch
These patches have been a very exciting and continuing project for us at PW, trying to put a new style in the lineup with detailed illustration concept instead of our clean simplistic iconic line art. There will be other versions of these to be released in the future - but this is another edition our version-3. Grab one and start a collection of our BON3S sub-set! This will compliment that owl in your collection - and will look awesome with your favorite gear, display piece or patch mat.
