The Art of Sudarshan Patnaik-1

Here are the news-photographs that I've been able to collect of the work of Sudarshan Patnaik, Sand Sculptor Extraordinaire.
They are not in chronological order.

1. After the Asian tsunami.

2. After 9/11. Some idiots thought that the artist was celebrating 9/11, hence the rotten.com on the photograph. I haven't been able to find another source for the photograph though.
