The Colourist’s Pac Sun collaboration shirt is now available!

Brighten up your rainy day with the new collaborative  designer shirt from the Colourist. From Orange County, California, the band has been able to visually express their music on the form of a shirt, available at all Pac Sun locations. This series of shirts is unique in the way that they combine the visual expressions of music from the band into the form of a tangle object. It’s like your wear a song on your chest. Intangible into tangle…wave energy into mass. Keep it beautiful with the Colourist.

Check out the pictures for a up close experience with Kollin J. (bassist for the colourist) showing off the shirt at one of the Pac Sun’s locations at Fashion Island, Newport Beach.

I took this photo in the beginning of spring 2009 in Washington DC. The day before the cherry blosoms. It has great balance between the darkness of the landscape and the light of the sunset behind the church. Please let me know if you would like to submit a photo of a sunset and promote your photography.

Steel Pulse, living legends among the rasta community and those who appricaite the positive vibrations created through the soul of reggea. They played at the House of Blue Anaheim to a packed crowd of all ages. After seeing this show, it makes me want to yell “Rasta man vibrations are positive!”

The Newport Beach Sandcastle Contest took place on Sunday October 4^th at Big Corona State Beach. The sponsor for the event was Fidelity Investment’s in support for their California’s Scholarshare College Savings Plan. The event was hosted by the Commodores club, whose mission is to “encourage business investment and involvement in the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce while providing leadership and support for special events that benefit the Chamber membership and the community.”

The event attracted all ages and the sandcastles raged from all shapes and sizes. Anyone could have competed; the event had both experts, building 6 foot plus tall detailed castles, all the way down to beginners shaping mermaids in the sand with seaweed hair.  Personally, my favorite work of art was the “ice cream sanday.”

Mike Vallely has contributed towards both to the skateboarding Industry and most recently in the arts of performing heavy metal with his band Revolution Mother. A supporter of community awareness and helping kids get off the streets and onto a skateboard, his band is a new way for him to reach out towards his audience and supporters. With four band members playing on a stage, that fits comfortable a DJ, the band filled the small dance room at La Cav with heavy vibrations of distortion, that were shaking and wobbling the guitar amps that were stacked to the roof. Tables were thrown across the mash pit half way into Mike V’s set. The crowds also asked for more songs when the band ended their set by having the lead guitarist tell the audience he’s going to have a beer. It was a free show, Monday night with no football, what better way to spend a usually non-eventful night.

Team Quiksilver, pictured above (3rd photo down),  was one of the teams that particpated in the event. Each team wears a ridiculous costume and plays each other; while thousands of onlookers drink, enjoy the sun and kick it at the beach from dawn till dusk.

Graham Gustin and Eric Woods were just a couple of the freestyle motocross riders that participated in the arena at the Orange County Fair, August 2, 2009. In between the jumping, the mini bikes were whipped out and chaos mingled around the area for about a half hour.
