The Peacocks Of Palos Verdes

Peafowl first came to the Palos Verdes Peninsula almost a century ago when Palos Verdes founder Frank Vanderlip received 12 birds as a gift. Now, there are hundreds. The birds roam streets and roofs in the city of Rolling Hills Estates. Some residents love the peafowl and some wish the city would take more control.

Trouble in Paradise || Cycle Zombies

Born and raised in Orange County, California, Cycle Zombies is a collective of family and friends, immersed in a culture of waves, skateboards and motorcycles. It’s a lifestyle many try to embody but few have such a natural and honest approach to the culture and passion this brotherhood share. Desillusion Magazine's Pierre David spent an afternoon with surfer, skateboarder, collector, craftsman and Father of three, Scotty Stopnik, to gain an insight into his life and the values his brotherhood live by.

Shot on location last winter in Huntington, California.

adidas Brazuca || 2014 World Cup Official Match Ball

The adidas Brazuca is the official match ball of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, which is being held in Brazil. The informal term 'brazuca' is used by Brazilians to describe national pride in the Brazilian way of life, and mirroring their approach to football, it symbolises emotion, pride and goodwill to all.
The ball is a product of two-and-half-years in the making. The 'brazuca' features new structural innovations to enhance grip, touch, stability and aerodynamics on the pitch.

Are You Alone?

Are you alone? To answer this question we have to take a look what 'you' are first. What are you made of and where you stand in this universe. Are you your body? Your atoms? And how are your parts connected to the big picture?

form || Short Film

Talented skateboarding filmmaker Colin Kennedy has released a beautiful new short film entitled "form". Created for the RED's REDirect contest, the film uses locations with bright backdrops to turn the skateboarder's into black silhouettes, allowing the viewer to focus on their "style and grace". This, combined with an atmospheric track from Colleen, makes the whole thing seem more like a Terrence Malick film than a traditional skateboarding video. Skateboarders featured include Kenny Anderson, Ray Barbee, Mike Carroll, Danny Garcia, Scott Johnston, Eric Koston, Brian Lotti, Daewon Song, and Jeremy Wray.
