Alien Workshop new 5 Life Stage series skateboard decks in stock!

The guys over at Alien Workshop collaborated with Abigail Portner, and came up with some pretty wild designs. These five brand new boards feature a series of paintings that can only be described by the artist herself:

“It’s basically weird stages of life, but how I see them… animal, animal spirit, zombie where you’re still on earth then alien above, then ghosts would be the highest up you could go as a spirit…”

Yeah! This should be awesome! On November 19, the 2nd annual Fuel TV California Surf Festival will be held at the California Surf Museum in beautiful Oceanside. The four-day event is going to be chock-full of surf culture—from movies and music to photography, art and book signings.

One of the new films to debut are the highly anticipated Taylor Steele movie, The Drifter, which takes an thorough look into Rob Machado’s life. Another film we’re looking forward to seeing is Russell Brownley’s “Gum For My Boat,” a documentary about a recent trip to Bangladesh.

Cali Orange Crush

Last night at Maida in Little Italy, San Diego artist and designer Megan Lyders hosted her first photography show, Cali Orange Crush. The series is comprised of of twenty new photographs, which thread the common hue, orange, throughout various compositions. From an orange ferris wheel to an aerial sunset, the photos were breathtaking. Maida was packed with people there to check out Megan’s work and enjoy the atmosphere. Check out the photos below…

All donations raised during the event went towards A Reason To Survive (A.R.T.S.), a San Diego non-profit which empowers children facing life challenges by providing innovative arts-based programs and education.

The series of photos will be on show at Maida until October 31, 2009.

Check out more of Megan’s work at web.mac.com/mlyders, which offers interior design and consultation services. She also maintains a design blog, megan.christine. Her photos will be on display at Maida until October 31.
