The California move is really lame and goes against what AWS stands for, but this is one of the coolest things to happen in skateboarding lately:


Alien Workshop and The Keith Haring Studio have announced a new collaboration project. The full hardgoods line for this collaboration will drop in Summer 12,  followed by an extensive apparel offering shortly thereafter. The collaboration will debut at the Agenda Trade Show in Long Beach, California on August 1st and 2nd.



As a skateboard brand that has evolved since it?s inception in 1990, Alien Workshop has become known for bold and challenging graphic concepts. This collaboration could not find a better pairing aesthetically and conceptually. It is our aim to further Haring?s message through our work.

Keith Haring was an artist and activist who frequently used his art to speak out about social issues. He was one of the best known among the young artists, filmmakers, performers and musicians whose work responded to urban street culture of the 80s. Diagnosed with AIDSin 1988, Haring established the Keith Haring Foundation in 1989 to provide funding and imagery to AIDS organizations, and to ensure that his philanthropic legacy would continue indefinitely. The Keith Haring Foundation?s mission is to sustain, expand and protect the legacy of Haring?s art and his ideals. The Foundation supports organizations that assist underprivileged children, as well as those engaged in education, research and care with respect to AIDS and HIV.

Keith Haring is my all time favorite artist

The top yellow one is my fav

It's not a collaboration if you stick a dead artist's work on your board. He's not collaborating, you are just taking his shit.

I'm so fucking hyped on this collab. Keith Harring was a G. Respect the man.

and Sesame Street rules. Fuck yall.

Thanks for proving my point. Look up what "collaborate" means. Basically it means BOTH SIDES work together towards a common goal. If Haring is dead, he isn't collaborating, Alien is just buying rights to his work so they can put it on boards. Haring didn't create a bunch of graphics for Alien boards or have any say in how it turned out, so he didn't collaborate. Nobody said it was copyright infringement. The point was that there wasn't collaboration, just Alien reaching deep in the purse to buy somebody's work. Them claiming they collaborated with Haring is stupid and factually incorrect.

Nice job of correcting me, next time figure out what I am actually saying "l33tg33k." I've told you what a stupid name that is, right?

Is Keith Haring studio creating new original artwork, or are they selling old Keith Haring artwork to Alien?

Alien is so good at collaborating with dead, already super-mainstream artists.

it's far better than their usual shitty graphics

You have some serious problems if you take this shit that, well, seriously.

i'm not too into this, lots of companies have used keith's stuff before, and like gipper said, they're just pulling stuff out of his back catalog, not a real collab.  but supreme's collabs are just famous people wearing supreme shirts.  there's nothing lamer in today's skate world than supreme fanboys.  fuck that fashion, fake-skate-shop bullshit.  they don't even have skate tools in there to set up a board.

The best slap response ever. Thank you for restoring sanity.

Lets hope not.

Your right cause when I envision what I could do with millions, creatively, and with the whole world paying attention all I wish for is to make something possibly as great as this masterpiece.
