“A” New Beginning
Created & Photographed by Erik Marinovich
To ring in the new year I’m embarking on a long term project and sculpting the entire alphabet one letter at a time using an array of different materials. It’ll probably take 60 years to complete but I’m looking forward to the exercise i’ll get out of it.
Enjoy the video below taken in Norden, California over a two day period. A big thank you to Amy Campos and Brian Osborn for their help!

Our Hawaiian brother, Matthew Tapia created this on the beach over the weekend and we felt it would be the perfect final post for 2012. Onwards to 2013.
You can see more work by Matthew via his Tumblr, Instagram and Dribbble feeds…. and more works in sand.
