Shrunken Head Pins and Buttons
Description: Zorlac Skateboards was founded by Jeff Newton in Dallas, Texas, in 1976, and quickly built a following with their decks emblazoned with creepy artwork that skaters loved and moms hated. Cool art aside, two of the best skaters in Texas rode for Zorlac - Craig Johnson from Dallas and John "Tex" Gibson from Houston - and later collaborations with metal and punk bands sealed the deal for legions of skaters who loved Zorlac's edgy style and punk ethos. This design features the classic Zorlac shrunken head from the double cut deck in yellow.

Description: The practice of preparing shrunken heads originally had religious significance. Shrinking the head of an enemy was believed to harness the spirit of that enemy and compel him to serve the shrinker, and prevent the soul from avenging his death. Replica shrunken heads became popular with the rise of Tiki culture, making the ability to 'keep a cool head' a lot more realistic option for people wanting such things.
