San Diego artist turns curbs into stunning street art masterpieces


(FOX 5/KUSI) “When most people think about curb painting, they just think of simple numbers,” said Antonio Lopez, “We want to take it to a different level.”

A concrete canvas for the San Diego Curb Doctor. 

“My inspiration is typically seeing the Sports teams,” continued Lopez. “I want to be known as a quality curb painter.”

Starting in February 2024, Antonio Lopez began by creating stencils and posting them to social media. Now with more than 5,000 followers, the 27-year-old says business is booming.

“Each category of art is different,” he said. “We really wanted to focus on something that isn’t too saturated yet. Curbs are a big thing; you can always add different kinds of logos, different colors. That’s where I take inspiration from.”

With prices ranging from $125 to $175, each curb has its own unique design.

“It’s different compared to traditional painting on canvas,” continued Lopez. “I feel like it’s not really seen in San Diego yet. You don’t see too many curb painters putting out the quality I do.”
