A Europe Crawl: 2007
Published May 31st, 2009 in Artistic Observations, photography and rambles. 1 CommentAs 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 […]
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 […]
The world is a young mind’s playground. Each day offers a new face, a new site and a new observation. Play with an intrigued eye and your story will write itself… Happy 1st birthday Sophia Lynn Parraga.
We’ve seen shots from Italy’s Sistine Chapel, London, Las Vegas, San Francisco and now Cabo San Lucas’ Lover’s Beach. Think you can top those shots… Send theartist@carlsbadcrawl.com a sticker request and also receive an original hand drawn Carl Crawl portrait… Where have you crawled?
A wander takes you to new places where every person is a stranger and every site is unfamiliar. You background becomes as blank as a new canvas and a fresh memory comes as easy as a summer sunburn. An old newspaper tells new stories and a smiling face promises a new friendship. Hex, fresh off […]
Carlsbad 5000: our eyes to yours
Published April 5th, 2009 in events, photography and rambles. ClosedThe village awoke early as feeble fences stretched under shady trees, over mellow hills and along our wind blown ocean. Crowds rubbed sleep from their eyes and wandered towards the distant vibrations of a rambling microphone. The sun watched as coffee brewed and the day’s cloud was no more than a tumbling puff of dust […]

The sun rubs its sleepy eyes and begins its descent as a palette of oranges, pinks and yellows replace the once bright blue sky. Clouds tumble in chilly gusts, tethered only by the illusion that all clouds are alike. Smooth gradients fill the sky like a soothing color pencil illustration. The sun grins with a […]

Arguably one of the most famous images in the world. (No, not the carlsbadcrawl sticker, but thanks for the compliment) The Creation of Adam was painted on the ceiling of Vatican City’s Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo circa 1511. It illustrates the moment at which God supposedly breathes life into man. Thanks to Candice and Andy […]
The street is a stage. Curtains draw wide as clouds tumble towards the horizon and a spotlight shines bright from high above. Vignettes are made up of random interactions and a script depends on the direction of the wind. Romances bloom in roadside flower pots and disruptions flare in congested intersections. Hobos growl and the […]
Our beaches stamp to the foot of sunset joggers and wide grass lawns dent to the rumps of family picnics. Playgrounds animate like ants on sweets and local shops entice with exaggerated sales. Stones grind under the sweaty boot of an early morning hike and city council members cringe at audience participation. Off the beaten […]
I return to the ARTpartment after a long day of colors, shapes and repetition. The door swings open and reveals Edie in a robe dabbing makeup in front of a vertical mirror. “Oh Andy”, she calls out as I waltz into the room. She wraps her warm arms around my neck and squeezes as if […]
Eyes wide open and a mind willing to wander can spot observations that puzzle as well as provoke. When you pick up on them, they can do both. This sight was found during a sunset crawl down the blvd. What in this photo looks odd and what is your explanation?
The whaling horn of a passing train warns as the tide awakes under the thick haze of the sagging sky. The moon hides a grin and shoots winks across the moist sky. A wish tumbles under my feet, through dry shrubs and over sandy rocks ending in an echoing splash. Ripples play tag along the […]
We are confronted each day by an onslaught of images. Shapes and colors create subtle relationships while our eyes scan each approaching wave. People, moving or stagnant, have varying personalities and emotions, but can also be analyzed purely on the visual. An African American standing by a white; puffy curly hair bouncing by long swaying […]
He will always be remembered…
NIHILIST KILLS the Royal Dive Bar
Published July 19th, 2008 in music, photography and rambles. 1 Commentclick photos to enlarge A mangled taxi screeches to a stop and a red faced driver peaks his head out the window. A surprisingly cheerful man with shaggy hair and thin stubble greets us. Through a cloud of smoke and a raspy voice, he asks where we would like to go. With horns lifted skyward […]
A morning drive in route for another day under the pulsating lights of the office was momentarily halted by a shocking find. My eyes, yawning in the early hours of the day, scanned the awakening neighborhood for a rare jewel, something that would provoke an interesting thought and prompt research upon my arrival at work.
