Jim Denevan creates drawings that are nothing short of amazing.  These drawings are mostly created by dragging a stick on the ground.  Okay, I’ll shut up, enjoy.

Okay, this last one (below) isn’t exactly sand art, but the same techniques apply, with the addition of vehicles.  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.  Details of the Salt Flats Drawing - High Resolution Salt Flats image
