Amazing Large-scale Drawings in Sand by Jim Denevan

Have you already heard of Jim Denevan or seen his artwork? This guy, who is an artist and a surfer, creates large scale drawings in sand that are nothing short of amazing. The drawings are mostly created by dragging a stick on the ground. By using only this single stick of wood wet, Jim Denevan makes huge geometric shapes in the sand, which for some may take up to seven hours of work! Generally composed of circles and lines, it is a real mammoth task and patience.

The largest artwork in history

The only sand drawing that was not done using only sticks but with the addition of vehicles. But we have to forgive the artist for that because this large piece was completed on the Salt Flats in Nevada and could be seen from space.  The work no longer exists as weather has gradually erased the image.
