San Clemente Art & Surfboards by Paul Carter

This painted surfboard is going to be a night scene with  a moon island and palm trees and of course waves.  I just finished putting on the first layers for the sky and the water. The board is 6'10 by 19.50 wide. All of the surfboards I paint are functional surfboards to be ridden. This is a commission for a cool guy in Oceanside. Stay tuned for the next photo as the painting comes to life. Thanks for all the support.

Toll Road Surfing in San Clemente

Toll Road Rejected on Appeal


December 18, 2008 Print

NOAA News Release
The Department of Commerce today upheld the California Coastal CommissionÕs objection to a proposal to construct a 16-mile toll road connecting California state Route 241 to Interstate 5 in southern Orange and northern San Diego counties.
The commission objected to the proposed project under the federal Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) on the grounds that the toll road was not consistent with the stateÕs coastal zone management program. Under the CZMA, federal agencies may not issue any permits required for a project if a state has objected, unless the Department of Commerce, on appeal, overrides the objection.
The Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA) appealed the commissionÕs objection to the Department of Commerce in February, triggering an administrative review process that involved written briefs and arguments by the parties, input from interested federal agencies, tens of thousands of written comments from the public, and a 10-hour public hearing in San Diego County.
Under the CZMA, the department may override an objection onlyif no reasonable alternative to the project exists and the proposal is consistent with the objectives of the CZMA, or if the project is necessary in the interest of national security. The department determined that there is at least one reasonable alternative to the project. The department also found that the project is not necessary in the interest of national security.
TCA may pursue another route for its proposed toll road that the commission determines is consistent with CaliforniaÕs coastal zone management program, and TCA is not limited to the alternative proposal described in the departmentÕs decision.
Since the enactment of the CZMA in 1972, the department has acted on 43 appeals, upholding 29 objections by state agencies and overriding 14.
NOAA understands and predicts changes in the Earth's environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and conserves and manages our coastal and marine resources.

Surboard Art by Paul Carter San Clemente Ca

This is one of two commission for diedrich coffee house between 03 and 04 is when i really got inspired to paint surfboards. ÊThe design I came up with was a combination of a poster for one of there coffee brands. ÊThere is a full view on my website under art boards. ÊThe board was hanging in there Malibu store for about three years until they sold to Starbucks. ÊI got a email from guy who purchased the board from someone and he contacted me and the rest is history he stopped by my store, and I traded him Êa board for a board. ÊThe board is now hanging in San Clemente Surfboards & Art. ÊI'm stoked to get back one of the first half dozen surfboards I ever painted a mural on.

Surfing, Shaping and Art

It has been four years now that I have been part of the SC art fair on Del Mar street. It's great to see so many different vendors out showing there products. To be part of the art fair really gives me a feel on the town let alone all of the people from locals to tourist just visiting. Today's thought is what can I change to improve my life. What do you think people?

San Clemente Art Fair First Sunday

Today was a great day to go to the drag races. It was my first time seeing the funny cars and the top fuel cars some at 300 to 320mpg. The power is so strong it vibrates your body. Tomorrow will be the art fair and i will be set up in front of a store named bliss. There is a farmers market as well to get some good food. So enjoy your Sunday and don't forget to change your clocks.
