Sand Animation Paintings

  Sand animation art has always been my fascination. It is the coolest performing art i've ever seen, those artists are like magicians! There is only the color of the background, just sand, no other materials. By using the light and darkness, they create countless subjects and scenes. It is like, besides the awesome music videos on youtube now, i regard sand animation art as another incredible medium of conveying one's feelings.
  Sand animation arts often includes more than one moving story.

Masks

  Different ideas about masks.
  It doesn't necessary have to be scary, i think it can grab others attention as long as it is different from watch they've seen before.
  Try to combine masks from different culture!
