As an artist, you take pictures; you write in a journal and you create films and song. You document your thoughts in a chosen medium. Your emotions smear across a canvas in thick impasto and your loves tumble in smooth melodies. Your anger tears through moist clay and your sense of humor bounces upon a […]

A Europe Crawl: 2007
Published May 31st, 2009 in Artistic Observations, photography and rambles. 1 CommentStencils have been used for many years and in all occasions. They have created letters to teach kids the ABCs and slogans to express political beliefs. They have been used on roads to alert drivers and on walls for murals.

The double thud of urethane wheels rolling over a hot sidewalk and the sharp thwack of a wood tail are sounds anyone who has spent time in Carlsbad can recognize. Skateboards have been bombing hills, grinding curbs and flipping gaps in our community for years. New Curb invited everyone from the established professional to the […]

A thought is stimulated by an art piece, followed by the analysis of its many components. At this point, your mind becomes linked to the […]

Carlsbadcrawl’s goal has always been to create culture. We present ideas and encourage interaction. Each project attempts to connect the minds of our community, whether through provoking a friendly chat while searching for hidden eggs or through an idea glued to an ornament and analyzed by the finder. If all goes well, the minds of […]
Before Carlsbad was known as a village by the sea, and well before Carlsbad Village Drive and the incorporation of the city, John Frazier dug a well and began distributing water to guests at the local train station. A test was done on the water resulting in chemical similarities to one of Europe’s most famous […]
Art is omnipresent; it is in everything and it surrounds us at all times. An observant eye picks up on each arrangement of brightly colored flowers, organic cloud formation and scribble in long since wet slabs of concrete. A village crawl is something most of us do because our eyes are attentive and are minds […]
