Carlsbadistan’s New Village Arts Theater’s next mainstage production will be David Ives’ “hysterical and philosophically clever” Time Flies, directed by Associate Artistic Director Joshua Everett Johnson. The play is actually a series of short plays, with a cast of eight actors who make quick changes between being mayflies, a washing machine and a famous french painter, to name a few. This summertime comedy will reportedly have you rolling in the aisles!
For tickets please click the link or call the box office at (760) 433-3245.

Okay, we actually like this one. The endless feathering on this wave is hypnotic. . . at least when those on-shores are blasting up Elm CVD. Nice work, Bryan.

Brendan Sheppard Missett, the son of Jazzersize founder Judi Sheppard Missett, is kicking off his new collection of “new works and documentation of his latest installations” at The Paul Bartl Gallery at New Village Arts Theatre on May 21, 2009 with an artists reception and walkthrough on June 5, 2009 from 5:30 to 7 PM.
Brendan Sheppard-Missett’s sprawling, inviting, and highly-stylized installations often function much more like clubhouses than gallery/art shows and his use of material has a bag-of-tricks approach that proves narcotic. Whether you are standing next to a pile of bananas and pineapples under a neon sign that reads “No Warning–Free Fruit”, or you bump into a scraggly, Old West-style outlaw who raves and rambles about being from the future, the impact of Sheppard-Missett’s coltish magnum will reveal itself with an unusual frivolity.
The show opens in conjunction with the New Village Arts Theatre’s production of Four Dogs and a Bone by John Patrick Shanley. We’re not going to miss any of this.

On May 1, 2009 (two days before the spring Carlsbad Street Fair) the two-month long Carlsbad Art Surf kicks off. What? Art Surf is a public art walk project through the streets of The Village sponsored by the Carlsbad Village Improvment Partnership, according to a story in the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Wanting to transform vacant storefront windows into something cheerful, Carlsbad Village property owners have invited artists to sign up to create window murals as part of Art Surf, a two-month art walk that kicks off May 1. . . “I think the idea really was, if you drive down a street and you see lots of empty lots or empty windows, you get an impression that it’s not alive, or it’s not worth coming to (visit) again,” said Robin Young, executive director of the Carlsbad Village Business Association.
We’re not so sure that drawing attention to empty storefronts by letting artists paint on the windows in the best idea, but while they’re at it maybe someone could paint the front windows at Ella Grace in the Village Faire Mall. When we walked by this morning they were packing up and shutting down the business.

Carlsbadistan stamp designer Carl Herrman sure does stay busy. His most recent work is a new stamp memorializing Native Son author Richard Wright. It will be unveiled tomorrow in the lobby of the Chicago Main post office.
Artwork for the 61-cent First-Class two-ounce stamp created by Kadir Nelson of San Diego, CA, features a portrait of Wright in front of snow-swept tenements on the South Side of Chicago, a scene that recalls the setting of Native Son. Nelson’s portrait of Wright was based on a circa 1945 photograph. Carl T. Herrman of Carlsbad, CA, was the stamp designer. One hundred million stamps were printed in sheets of 20.

On January, 16, 2009 Carl T. Herrman, Carlsbadistan’s premiere US Postal Service stamp designer, helped launch to new priority mail stamps at the SANDICAL Stamp Show in San Diego, CA.
The 2009 Express Mail stamp depicts Yellowstone National Park’s Old Faithful erupting in the warm glow of an autumn sunset while several bison graze nearby. The 2009 Priority Mail stamp, paying tribute to America’s redwood forests, depicts two people walking through a forest of redwood trees. Both stamps are digital illustrations produced by stamp artist Dan Cosgrove of Clarendon Hills, IL, under the direction of art director Carl T. Herrman of Carlsbad, CA.
Sorry we missed it. . . because there ain’t no party like a stamp launch party.
