Giant Sand Artwork by Jim Denevan

By Alex in Art on Jun 28, 2008 at 11:37 am

We’ve all grabbed a stick and drawn a figure in the sand on the beach, but Jim Denevan took this artform to the extreme: he created some of the largest human-made art on Earth!

Dark Roasted Blend has a neat feature on Jim’s artwork (including one 3-mile across made on a dry lake in Nevada! It took 100 miles of walking to draw that pattern)

    What a self important A-hole of an artist. Ooh look at all this nice beach, I must man handle and marr it because I can do better than nature!

    IMO its graffiti, and just as ugly. Id rather see the beach than a 3-d cross. This is just as bad as the Texas banana idea or the “awesome” idea of advertisements projected onto the surface of the moon.

    Humans have their dirty lil fingers all over nature as it is, can’t we leave the rest alone?

    I like Deneven’s work

    The beach drawings dont last very long as the tide washes them away quickly

    Pretentious.
    The Great Wall of China is bigger.

    It’s temporary, at least. Too bad all graffiti isn’t.
