I'm trying to design a couple of graphics and a header image for my website .
I came across the "Bones" website and really liked their style of graphics for the clouds and background sky.
The website can be viewed here
Can anyone tell me if this type of styling has a name, or any resources out there that can show how to make these kind of graphics?

If you were a 'Lazy Bones' you could probably find the separate elements on a stock website - Pirate/bones/illustration and fluffy/white/clouds - make your self a blue sky background and 'Bobs your uncle'
I don't know the style it's called. I call it "2D flat art," with a retro 20s/30s texture feel for added texture. The approach uses a limited color palette. The basic way to create this art is to use a darker color of the object's color as the shadow color. If the jacket is red, the shadow would be a darker red, with no gradients; hence, "flat". Flash, Illustrator or Photoshop are good programs to create these styles.
This isn't so much an illustrative technique so much as it is a rendering one. These are likely Illustrator vector graphics that have had textures applied after the fact.
Creative Bloq has a nice tutorial on adding textures to vector illustrations.
