It is always nice to go back to the Stendhal Music Festival. Even though it is on the same island it feels a bit exotic because I am going to a different country. The North of Ireland is part of Britain,

Preamble Is it just me, or have we forgotten about that whole environmental apocalypse thing we were facing? I remember the days when respect for the world around us was the most important thing we had

I am going to ease myself back into posting. I will admit that finding the time to write has become much more difficult since my wife's passing. Having all the responsibility to run a house, raise our

This will be the last of this type of post for a while ( happily). Another one-day demonstration carve with some workshops thrown into the mix. I had cut back on my international travel in 2018 to spend

Looking back over my last few sand sculpture posts I see that all the sculptures I shared were just quick one-day demonstration pieces, nothing more than 3D sketches and not what I would call real sand

It was late in the evening when I arrived in Ballyheigh, County Kerry after driving three hours, straight from a day's work. I was knackered and fell into my hotel room bed without any food. It was a nice

This will be a short post as I don't have many interesting images of the sculpture. And, as I remember, I never even finished it due to bad weather. I had been double booked with this project in Saint

As I watch my son grow I wonder what his future will be. As a parent, I try to nurture his interests and not pressure him too much about the academic side of things. Luckily he seems to already have that

It has been a while since I shared a sand sculpture. I have keeping things in Chronological order and had other projects to write posts about that I made in the start of 2018. Now, I'm back with this first

I know Christmas is long over but I have a nativity sand sculpture for you today as it was next on my list to document. This was made in December 2017 in La Pineda, Catalonia. Each year we made a nativity

This will be a short post because I don't have much to say about this pile of sand which resembles a birthday cake. Maybe I will just bulk this post out with stuff that has nothing to do with the sculpture

Anyone who has been using the Hive blockchain for any length of time will know that the search functions need a lot of work and trying to find anything unless you know the exact address can lead to long

This is the last in this series of sculptures I made in my friend's garden. It was nice to make these pieces because it was very relaxing for me. Just two days per sculpture and I knew that whatever I

It is a coinkedink that today is the day I am posting about this sculpture. The first day of 2024 and I want to wish you all a happy new year. But that isn't the coincidence. It is that today was the day

I made a post about this one before but wanted to revisit it, to keep it in sequence with the others I've been posting about lately of sculptures I made in my friend's garden. He asked me back just before

It's that time of year again and we are all excited about who is coming next week. The letter has been written and we even got to meet the man himself in person before he starts the busy season. My

I neglected to document this piece when I was doing my sculptures from 2008. I thought it was not worthy of a post but it has a story to tell as it was the first I did for this client, someone who I have

This sculpture was nothing much to write home about but to stay consistent with my mission of documenting every one of my pieces in sand, snow and Ice on the Hive blockchain it needs its own little post.

I'm an awful man for sleeping. Usually, I get around 6 hours a night which is just not enough. I set my alarm for 7am and slap the Snooze button twice before I roll out of bed promising that I will get

I have made other sculptures about Dean Swift and his excellent book Gulivers travels. It is strange that I always seem to be coming back to it and that each time it is with a feeling that the book should
