Juggling responsibilities and passions is like riding a bike. You wobble and you crash, but eventually you find the balance… and head straight to the beach!
How do you balance your schedule?

Today the waves began to work just after high tide.
Do you know this surf break?
A walk you have skateboarded down while dragging your hand across the bird poop scattered handrail. A path you have weaved through angry pedestrians while coasting on your bike against foot traffic and an obstacle course you have danced upon avoiding freshly dropped dog dookie.
Once you successfully make it through the Carlsbad boardwalk gauntlet, you turn around and do it again.

Doodle, the creation of Carlsbad Village based artist Bryan Snyder, is a mischievous yet innocent character whom Snyder first began to develop in his childhood bedroom decades before maturing as a professional artist. Doodle has taken many looks over the years, but has always stayed true to what Snyder today calls Reminiscence Pop Art, the probing of long forgotten childhood memories.
Many see Doodle as the young boy who Snyder often puts in sometimes troublesome situations, but Snyder considers Doodle as a general term 
encompassing all characters and compositions that remind one of their childhood.
“The name Doodle came form the local Carlsbad community,” Snyder explains. “I began hiding Doodle characters painted on cardboard years ago. Once the community caught on, I began getting emails asking about these characters. I always responded that they are just doodles I have drawn over the past 2 decades.” The name stuck and from that point on my childhood characters had an identity.
Along with a number of hidden Doodles on cardboard, as well as 2 large scale Doodle hunt art scavenger art shows at hosted at Vinaka Cafe and Salon 580 in the Carlsbad Village, Snyder has also gifted his community with 4 large scale Doodle murals located at Paul Henry Furniture, Cessey’s Taco Shop, T3 Tactical Gear and his most recent mural titled ‘Introducing Jingle’ at Giacoletti Music.
Jingle, Snyder’s newest Doodle character was first created as a pencil illustration Christmas gift for local musician Susanna Kurner, former lead singer of vintage country band Hello Trouble and vocals teacher at Giacoletti Music Center.
“I have always focused on the visual with my Doodle characters, but music is big part of my life.” Snyder explains. “I thought to myself if a doodle is a quick fun drawing, what would a quick fun song be? Susanna provided the inspiration and Jingle was soon created.”
To encourage Giacoletti Music students to research the artwork behind their favorite bands, Snyder will be accepting submissions of favorite bands. Snyder will be hand painting a new record album in the hands of Jingle each month.
Stay tuned for more info on album artwork submissions.
‘Introducing Jingle’ was organized by Snyder Art with help from Giacoletti Music Center and Bob Nielsen & Associates. Mural financed entirely by Snyder Art.
Due to a rule change in the City of Carlsbad grant process, the Carlsbad Music Festival lost out on the opportunity to receive a crucial $10,000 grant for the 2013 festival.
The Carlsbad Music Festival has launched a Kickstarter Fundraising Campaign in hopes of replacing the amount of the lost grant with community supported donations.
Pledges from $1 and up are welcomed and each pledge receives an assortment of rewards, but more importantly, helps the CMF continue bringing progressive art to our Village.
This is a community event and it takes a community effort of donating and spreading the word to make it happen.
If you are unable to donate, please help spread the word!

WHAT: Flicks at the Fountain
WHERE: State and Grand (map)
WHEN: Thurs. July 11 starting at dusk
Sponsored by Homelife Village Realtors, Beach City Smoothies, Carlsbad Urgent Care and Paradise Pizza of Carlsbad.
This event is ongoing each week. See the flyer for all dates.
We are not sure if a pontoon crashed upon the Carlsbad shore offering a free-for-all firework frenzy, or if the local CPD decided to let the local hooligans have some fun this year, but fireworks whizzed and exploded everywhere.
The nearest ‘sponsored’ fireworks shined off the sagging cloud layer high above LegoLand, but puttered out with a noticeable weak grand finale. Luckily the local crowd picked it up this year with a shockingly large stash of personal firework use lighting the night sky in all directions.
Did you notice extra explosions high over the Carlsbad Village?
