A new burst of color

Carlsbad Graffiti

It’s colors are bright and attracts the eyes of passersby. Energy explodes skyward in heated rays and marine life loiter at the base. As a resident or a Carlsbad Village visitor, you would think the above description would be referencing our daily sunsets.

Carlsbad TagMore rare than a sunset, but just as bright, is the newly painted wall in the Carlsbad Village. Murals do scatter the Village, but it is rare to find a mural with such strong graffiti aesthetics in out local streets.

There are no dolphins, no waves, no flower fields are no other traditional imagery.

Is Carlsbad as a whole breaking from the traditional mold that it has remained so closely to. Are these recent artistic expressions signs of a less visually conservative future for the local streets?

What do you think of this new graffiti themed mural?
