For the last 13 years, Don Pendleton has been creating amazing graphics in his geometric, Picasso-esqe style for Alien Workshop (1998-2005) and Element Skateboards (2005-2010). While at Alien Workshop, his graphics defined the brand's aesthetic. Because he was so iconic, his transition to Element was a bit confusing to skateboarders, but everyone hugged it out. Regardless of what boards Pendleton's graphics were applied to, they are dope and Don Pendleton joins an elite group of skateboard artists whose work is recognizable by most skateboarders at first glance. He has posted his full body of work on his site, showcasing every board he has designed. While on his site, click on each image to see the rest of the series. [Elephont]
