Many of us have scribbled in the sand when we go to the beach, but New Zealand-based artist Jamie Harkins goes one step further by using the beach as a canvas to create sand drawings that seem to pop up from the ground.
Harkins was inspired by 3D street drawings and thought he could do the same with sand. He enlisted the help of fellow artists Lucia Lupf, David Rendu, and Constanza Nightingale to make these larger-than-life works of art.
“We’ve seen other people doing stuff on beaches, but it’s always been geometric, flat shapes, like a pattern, so we thought we’d get into the whole 3D thing,” he told The New Zealand Herald.
These artworks were “painted” onto the Mt Maunganu beach in New Zealand—were you lucky enough to get a glimpse of them in person?
Scroll down to view some of these artworks, or follow Jamie Harkins on Facebook to see what other sand drawings he would come up with in the future.
