Sand Painter











I have become a bit of a fan of this guy's work! I've seen him multiple times now. I'm friends with him on Facebook, so I keep track of when he's in the Union Square area and try to go out to see what he's creating. Joe Mangrum creates this are with colored sand. According to his website, this piece took him about 8 hours of creating. Can you believe he works for 8 hours and then sweeps up all the sand!?!

This is gorgeous! I'll have to keep an eye out for him when I'm in Union Square.

This may be the truest form of the artist-- it is all about the creating! Beautiful! (Glad you take photos before it is all swept up!)
