2026 - 3rd Quarter
News
We are very proud to announce that Carlos won 1st place in Photography and Digital Art at the Beverly Hills Art Show in May.
The Sun 'n Sand Motel sign, one of the premier Route 66 landmarks in Santa Rosa, NM, has been demolished! CARLV12 has been printing Sun 'n Sand since we first started. It's been printed in all sizes, on photo and fine art papers, acrylic, and metal. Carlos is working on a final version of the sign.
Since shipping fees from the US have remained consistent, we are continuing to ship all items free of charge to the US and Canada, and unframed fine art prints to the UK.

We have held off any rate increases for almost 2 years; unfortunately, due to increased costs, we need to increase a few items. Thankfully, it really only affects the Grand sizes 30x30, 30x40, and 30x45. We try to avoid raising prices, but when specific items, like large frames, go up by 20% or more, we have to share that with you.
We're continuing to add photos in celebration of Route 66 turning 100. When you've traveled the Mother Road a few times, the options can be extensive.
We are constantly adding new photos to the website and Instagram @carlv12. If you want a photo on Instagram that's not on our website, drop us a line at info@carlv12.com or send us a message through Instagram.

Out and About
Our 2nd quarter travels took us to Scottsdale, San Diego, the LA area, and Redlands. The Artwalk San Diego Mission Fed show is always busy and exciting, and the surface is never level, which is always a challenge. As mentioned above, Beverly Hills was an award-winning show. Redlands Festival of the Arts is very special to us because of its mission, staff, and volunteers. And we did a new show, the Montrose Arts and Crafts Festival, which was very enjoyable, and we'll tentatively schedule it in for 2027.
