The Fine Art of Sand Animation by Mark Demel

About Mark

The first time Mark saw sand painting on the internet years ago, his heart was leaping and his jaw hanging open. "What was this art form that seemed so fresh and new?  Amazing!"  As a life-long artist (illustrator and painter), the idea of getting his hands in the sand made his fingers itch.

After having a box built, he crammed three days for his first event - an Easter service at a church.  While the images and the technology to capture and project the images was simpler back then, the overall effect was as powerful as it is today. 

In combination with a sound track - often a powerful song - the images find a way in the "back door" of peoples' psyches, and sometimes become more than a series of cool pictures, sometimes they touch people's souls in a mysterious and wonderful way.


Mark is a creative consultant - sand painting is one of the ways he uses his ablility to see things in a fresh way.  As an illustrator/actor/cartoonist/writer/consultant, Mark stretches himself and those around him to find an answer that is fresh and simple at the same time.  Especially these days, fresh and simple means it rises above the din.
