Marvel’s Avengers – Sand Art Fan Tribute by Sand Artist Lawrence Koh (from Singapore)



Marvel's Avengers - Sand Art Fan Tribute by Sand Artist Lawrence Koh (from Singapore)
FINALLY ITS DONE!!! - After sacrificing lots & lots of sleep, I am now ready to present to you my Sand Art fan tribute to "Marvel's The Avengers"!!! I have tried my very best to include as many heroes as possible within this Sand Art film while trying to make it as epic as possible! Yes, everything here was created using SAND & MY HANDS!
Doing this Sand Art fan tribute has been a really interesting, inspiring & unique journey for me. Within this Avengers Sand Art film, I have tried tons of new techniques that I have never tried before while discovering much more than what I would have expected as a Sand Artist. I have combined a mix of styles according to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well as the original comics, so as to try & bring a unique feel to all the heroes using my Sand Art.
Even though these heroes might be works of fiction, but to some kids or people who are fighting a strenuous real-life battle or facing traumas of bullying, sickness or daily challenges; these heroes & their stories inevitably transformed into real-life inspirations of strength, courage, teamwork, love, compassion, unity, acceptance, friendship (probably many more inspiring qualities too). To many people, they are not just fictionous characters but symbols of hope. Interestingly, as I see the creation of these heroes using countless grains of sand day after day, I realized that every single grain of sand actually matters alot; each playing their part in forming together all the heroes seen here.
We are all very much like these grains of sand isn't it? Each of us playing our own part & contributing to a better world. And we all have this power to achieve greater heights together. And with unity, we too can create miracles & heroes in our world.
I want to specially dedicate this Avengers Sand Art film to Wei Ming & Sanjay! Thank you both for inspiring this creation of mine!
I love the Marvel Heroes & Marvel Cinematic Universe films!!! After watching "Avengers: Infinity War", I can't stop thinking about this super awesome film for days & I simply can't get enough of the Avengers!!! Hence, I have decided to do a Sand Art fan tribute due to this fan craze I have! I can't wait for another year for the next Avengers film to be out!!! Argh LOL!!!
My wish is for this Sand Art film to hopefully inspire YOU to achieve your dreams & to brave all challenges in life! Yes, I strongly believe, we can all choose to be heroes in this world in our own ways!
May you be well & happy!
With Gratitude,
Sand Artist Lawrence Koh (from Singapore)

Batman Sand Art by Singapore Sand Artist Lawrence




"All men have limits. They learn what they are and learn not to exceed them. I ignore mine." - Batman

In life we faced lots of challenges, especially for myself be it as a sand artist or simply as a human being. However, we can always take inspiration from heros who simply inspire us to conquer our obstacles and problems as well as our very own limits via our mind, strategy and wisdom! May you be a hero of your own world!

With Gratitude,
Sand Artist Lawrence Koh

Sand Art by Singapore Sand Artist Lawrence



From Wikipedia:

Sand animation, also known as sand art, is a term which has two meanings. It is the name given to a style of live performance art and to a type of animation. In the former, an artist creates a series of images using sand, a process which is achieved by applying sand to a surface and then rendering images by drawing lines and figures in the sand with one’s hands. A sand animation performer will often use the aid of an overhead projector or lightbox (similar to one used by photographers to view translucent films). In the latter, animators move around sand on a backlighted or frontlighted piece of glass to create each frame for their animated films.

"The Garuda" - Sand Artist Lawrence



The Garuda (Sanskrit: गरुड़ garuḍa) is a large mythical bird, bird-like creature, or humanoid bird that appears in both Hindu and Buddhist mythology. Garuda is the mount (vahana) of the Lord Vishnu. Garuda is the Hindu name for the constellation Aquila. The Brahminy kite and Phoenix are considered to be the contemporary representations of Garuda. Indonesia adopts a more stylistic approach to the Garuda's depiction as its national symbol, where it depicts a Javanese eagle (being much larger than a kite).
