"Tall Ships" was created for the South Street Seaport Museum.  It features 25 tons of sand and took four days to complete.  The inspiration was the sailing history the museum depicts through it's collections, exhibits and educational programs.  The sculpture features a classic tall sailing ship set against a background of the South Street architecture at the entrance to the museum.

"Bleach Blonde in Sand" was created at an indoor event space in New York City to promote the newest John Frieda hair care products featuring Cool Dip, Sea Waves, Sun Streaks,and Smooth Seas marketed under the Beach Blonde line.  It features 10 tons of sand and was created in two days for a promotional media event.   Any sculpture can be designed to display product, create a photo op or have objects inserted for special effects,

Every September I carve a sculpture for the Tunnel To Towers Run held in memory of Firefighter Stephen Siller who on 9/11 ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to assist at the site of the World Trade Center.  Stephen perished in the wreckage but his spirit lives through the work of the Stephen Siller Foundation spearheaded by family members.  It has been a great honor to create these memorial sculptures for this event since it's inception in 2002 and will continue to do so as long as they will have us.  "Memorial" seen here, like the 17 preceding it were created with 17 tons of sand over 17 hours. 

When Disney sought a way to promote the release Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland to a large audience, they commissioned sandsculptor.com to create this on the beach in Belmar New Jersey.  Situated just off the boardwalk it was visible to thousands of beach goers as they strolled by.  Countless photos were taken, many to be posted to social media sites later.  It’s a well known fact in marketing that Disney is extremely protective of it’s brand. I have worked for them on numerous occasions. Their logo must be rendered with precision… or you don’t get paid! I’ve rendered logos for them on several occasions and yes… Paid every time!

After years in planning, The National Lighthouse Museum opened near the Staten Island Ferry in late summer 2015.  During the fundraising portion of it's development  to attract donors and community interest in the project we created this sculpture on South Beach.  This sand was a challenge and would not stack very high.  As a result, the design was adapted.   The final sculpture titled "Light The Night" features the museum logo, a lighthouse being pummeled by large waves (specifically added for structural purposes) and some stonework to set it off from the sand.  

After all the art and design, sand castles remain the consummate crowd pleaser!  They inspire whimsy, fairy tales and the dream of living 'happily ever after!”  This sand castle was created in Downtown Manhattan.  Over 50 tons of sand were used to achieve an overall height of 16 feet and incorporates every detail of castleture conceivable!  If it's a crowd pleasing sculpture you’re looking for, add a good old fashioned sand castle to your plan! They make for unequalled impact, and few create more elaborate and inspiring sand castles (in time allowed) than Sandsculptor.com

Here’s a sculpture done for a private event in East Hampton, New York. Sharks and Castles together at last! This is 25 tons of sand done over 5 days merely to entertain party guests! Maybe you would like one for your next party! If you have the dough… I have the sand!

A two for one sculpture!

Phase One:

The sculpture to the right is created each year in May at Monmouth Racetrack in New Jersey so it’s ready for Opening Day festivities. It always features horses representing the track and a dramatic sand castle on the back side representing the beautiful beaches of the Jersey Shore.

Phase two:

I return in Late July and re-carve the face to promote the upcoming Haskell Invitational Race complete with the sponsor’s logo. For the most part the remaining sculpture stays the same.

And here’s one view of the sand castle hiding on the back side.
