Carlsbadistan’s City Council Candidate Evan Rodgers has said repeatedly that she is not interested in spending any money on her campaign or on printing up posters that would litter people’s yards for a few weeks and then spend eternity in a landfill.
Evan’s growing support base however has been asking for some way to show support for Evan and help spread her message for a new, greener, cleaner Carlsbad. Until recently there was nothing they could do aside from making posters themselves.
That was until Bryan Snyder at Snyder Art (and Carlsbadcrawl.com) got involved and created posters, t-shirts and stickers that will allow everyone to show their support. Here is what he says:
We have developed pieces of art to be placed on properties, or on walls, of those whom support local art and Evan’s interest in it. . . . Carlsbadrawl considers these signs to be art rather than one-time-use marketing material. Each sign is handmade, numbered and signed by both Bryan Snyder and Evan. Unlike the signs of other candidates, these will not find their ways into landfills. We hope local supporters will accept them as art and keep them well after November 4th as visually appealing creations, as well as a historical reminder of Evan’s attempt at being the youngest elected official in California.
The t-shirts are a graphic tribute to street artist Shepard Fairey’s Hope graphics, but they look great. Rodgers supporters are invited to stop by Snyder Art and pick up art-signs, stickers, tote bags, or t-shirts any time of the day or night.

Nice job, Snyder Art, for a very worthy cause. The Big 4 (Kulchin, Blackburn, Douglas, and Arnold) have raised $217,200 so far. Rodgers and Bernard have not accepted any money. The Carlsbad Firefighters PAC raised another $50,000 and they support Kulchin and Blackburn. Of the 5 challengers, one is a realtor (Bernard), one is a former realtor (Douglas), and one is a real estate investor (Blackburn). Arnold is a journalist and Rodgers is a college student. That means Rodgers is the only one who refused the money of developers, special interests, everybody AND does not have the realtor mindset. We have enough buildings! 25-30% are sitting empty. Rodgers has proved she can say NO to the developer money and influence that undermine trust in City Council. Compare their websites. On our behalf, she is going toe-to-toe with these other candidates who are twice to over three times her age. Now it’s our turn. Signs, t-shirts, yes, tell our neighbors and then VOTE.
She’ll shake things up in City Hall. Very cool shirts and one-of-a-kind campaign signs.
