This weekend I took a long random walk through Carlsbad Village to see what I might see. And I discovered lots of super cool street art!
Carlsbad Village is the downtown part of Carlsbad, situated right near the Pacific Ocean. As you might imagine, many of the images depicted in the street art are of surfing, the beach, sea life, and the laid-back Southern California lifestyle.
My feet turned corners randomly, so these photos aren’t in any particular order. Because my thoughts were far away at the time, I’m afraid I didn’t gather a whole lot of information concerning all this artwork. But you can see artist signatures on a few of the murals.
Which do you like? I think my favorites are the surfing Mario and the two tigers under colorful dripping paint!

To justify the name of my website, I probably should present some “cool” photos.
I took these two fun pics during recent walks!
(The first is from a downtown sidewalk; the second is from Balboa Park by the San Diego Air and Space Museum.)

Yes, I spent another Sunday in Balboa Park. It’s close to where I live, and I love it.
Look what I discovered while walking around today!
For a while I’ve been wondering about a very large crane rising above the southeast corner of the San Diego Zoo. You can see it just west of the Spanish Village Art Center, behind a construction fence that runs along the walkway connecting the zoo to the center of Balboa Park.
I noticed banners have been hung on the fence!
A new Children’s Zoo is under construction! It will be called the Sanford Children’s Zoo and will feature two acres of new habitats and fun things for kids to do. It appears the new Children’s Zoo will open in 2021.
Check out these banners to see come cool renderings and description!

These three fantastic murals were painted recently in a North Park alley. I happened to be walking down University Avenue just east of 31st Street when I spotted them.
Very cool, huh?
North Park continues to be the home of amazing, ever-changing street art!

New murals were being painted today by the 7-Eleven on University Avenue in City Heights! The public’s opportunity to watch artists at work live was one cool aspect of the Love City Heights local Global Day of Caring event.
During my visit, a wall adjacent to the 7-Eleven parking lot was being painted by young muralist Nadia Sanchez. Her inspiring artwork is divided into two panels, and she and her mentor Melody De Los Cobos were working on the second half of the mural when I happened to swing by.
Meanwhile, a large mural in the alley next to 7-Eleven was just getting started by GMONIK. It will be the third inspiring piece of art on that wall. I’ll swing by at some point in the future and take a photo of the completed work.
GMONIK has another super cool mural on the street side of the same building. See it here!
I later walked a couple blocks east down University Avenue to check out two new murals of #TheAvenueMuralProject. Both are really great, as you can see in my photos!
City Heights continues to become more beautiful!
UPDATE!
A few days later I walked through City Heights and noticed GMONIK had finished his One Love mural…
