“No matter where you are (and where you’ve been), I’m certain you’ve stumbled upon something extraordinary: a place that blows your mind; a work of art or object that speaks to you; or even a location or scene that’s special, unusual, or even magical in some way.”
The following photos consist of Sand Art from multimedia artists around the world who displayed their works at this year’s Neptune Festival in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I originally posted this as a slide show and then realized you need to be able to click on the pictures to view the amazing detail.
Incredible artists – incredible art!

You will have to take pictures of this year’s entries because I won’t be here for that. I will miss it.
Don’t worry, we will fill in for you.
I hope their sprinkler system doesn’t malfunction… 😉
OMG! Your mind is awash with evil thoughts.
Practical. Evil. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference… 😉
this is amazing. I wish I could do that 🙂
It’s not too late to enter next year’s show, Soho.
lol I do not think we are that creative 😉
I think the kids playing before the emerging (or disappearing?) dinosaurs is the best (LINK). Dianne
That is pretty spectacular.
Yup, I must admit that the man on the bed is my favourite, but there are loads of really great and clever pieces of artwork here, i love the ‘in one ear’ one. They remind me of the sand mandalas that the Buddhist monks make and then pour into a river
PS is willies a rude word? I tried commenting saying on a bed of willies and my comment kept getting blocked!
Nope…. Looks like it was just a glitch
Willies willies willies 🙂
You are too funny! Maybe the title of it should have been “Free Willy.”
It’s a very clever way of displaying a completely naked man without getting in trouble 🙂 Reminds me of some very rude cacti I found in Lanzarotte
Good choice, Al, I’m always blown away by the artwork.
Pretty neat stuff. I remember Susan doing a blog on this.

Thanks, Patrecia. Your guess is as good as mine but there were a lot of women milling about it.

Masterpieces – all of them! I love the sense of humour that comes out in so many of them.
Absolutely, Margie. And to think, I’ still have trouble making pathetic sand castles with my granddaughter’s bucket and shovel.
Oh, wow! They are fabulous!
You should come by to see my sand etchings sometime.
