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.

3. After the Kashmir earthquake.

I think so too! :)
I know him from his childhood.
He is an artist, a dreamer, a creator.
But above all he is a simple ,humble, reticent, honest,loving and genuine person.
-Suvendu
It is good to know such people!
All your creations are very nice. Great work.
