Here's some eye candy for the long weekend....
While Sara Kate is primarily interested in Jim Denevan's food business, I am more drawn to his hobby, his sideline, his totally irrational attachment to drawing in the sand. Like Andy Goldsworthy, Jim Denevan heads out into nature and finds new ways to express himself without computers, upscale tools or even an audience. Thank goodness for photography....
"After finding a good stick and composing himself in the near and far environment Jim draws-- laboring up to 7 hours and walking as many as 30 miles."
I covet the photographs of these unique events and without telling you where to find prints of them (because I don't yet know), I hope that you are both inspired and intrepid should you want to find them with me. All the starting links we need are below...

I love these photographs! And I love art in such a larger than life scale. I can't even imagine the amount of work involved here. He would have to draw a bit then run to an overhead vantage point to assess his work. Wow!

There is a short documentary on his work (that I produced) at http://www.vimeo.com/4252502

I've been a Goldsworthy fan for years - now I have someone to add to the club!

Does anyone know where/if he sells prints of his work? This article and jimdenevan.com doesn't mention it.
