Artist Andres Amador got national airtime last night on CBS News. Reporter John Blackstone came to Ocean Beach to interview Amador and watch him at work.
On his website, Amador said “I am not so thrilled with the artwork I made. It was the first time trying the design and many things came to me as I was doing it and then as I was able to look from above… Its hard to receive attention of praise for something I don’t feel as complete with. And this I would consider one of those moments. However, I appreciated how they approached and edited the piece and the interview.”
Well Andres, we think it looks great. 🙂

No knock against Mr Amador, but this has been done on ocean beach for years by Jim Denevan. It’s always relevant to cite the original artist being copied (or providing the inspiration). Here’s a look at past ocean beach (Kelly’s Cove) sand art, curtesy of the RichmondSFblog:
