I just found that video about an hour ago and just watched it now, and I was at a loss for words, it's beautiful, amazing, very cool and hard to describe so yeah. Turn off the lights and turn the sound up, it's so beautiful

You are kidding right?  As far as sand art, he's on preschool level.  Have you seen the sand art created by the Tibetan monks?

[Tasha]

No but i'm sure you have. Whether you like it or not, it's amazing and more than you could ever wish of doing.

That link has been in my AIM profile forever.  Oh yea, you hide from me on AIM!!  

[Tasha]

I don't hide from you I just don't feel like talking -.-

After a google search and seeing this, I'm going to have to agree with grok, heh.

I don't think the monks create ten drawings in ten minutes

[Tasha]

Seriously, it takes them like a couple weeks to finish one thing while that guy made amazing drawings in less than a couple seconds

Not even drawings, they are silouhettes.  This is one of those situations where "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" applies!  Glad you like it.  I'm not impressed.

I am impressed by how fast he works moving from picture to picture.

Addition: As far as it being pre-school level, I think it is a little beyond that...

Those guys rule. Monks rule.

I'm impressed because of his improvisational capabilities - something is bound to go not exactly as expected when you're working with sand in that inexact way, and he pulls off a nice show for that audience.

The monks are doing precision work, but not as creative. They invest a lot of time into it, and it's very detailed and exact, but it's just not as "alive". It looks like cross-stitch.

Grok Ive seen the Monks work in Grass  Valley near my house with my 50 year old hippie pool cleaner friend.. it was amazing.
