Here we have the 4th and final (for now) version of the Streetstyle from 1990 which is also the 2nd version of the iconic Grumpy man which was originally a Ron Cameron school notebook doodle and then Ron Lemen inked the graffiti lettering.    What’s notable about the SS4 is that…well it’s kind of a lame story.   The Damn sidewalk surfin, punk hippy etc. typewriter text that was in the background of the Grumpy Man T-shirts was a huge hit with the team and skaters but not by a number of uptight shop owners and parents who though that “juvenile delinquent, law breakin, dope smokin, evil, satan worshipin” was just too much for their perfect innocent children.   They just didn’t get the sarcasm that this was the grumpy clueless pedestrian and all their misconceptions about skateboarders (well maybe some of them are true sometimes :-)  At that time I had licensed Blockhead to Tracker Trucks for a few years and the sales people fed up with all the complaints begged us heathens to tone it down
