Sand art

Not comics really, but might be an inspiration for someone :)

Awesome. This guy draws with sand and the images are projected to a large screen. 18 meg or so, but well worth it.

You should check out Carline Leaf's stuff. She did a lot of animated films with sand on glass and paint on glass. Very cool stuff. See http://www.awn.com/leaf/

ragtag are any of the animations on the site? because i couldn't fine any.
Also I once ran across a video of an artist who used charcoal to make animations that were pretty cool. Anyone know who that is?

It's a while since those films were made, so I'm not sure if they're available for download anywhere. I think they are still available for sale though, they were all made at and published by The National Film Board of Canada. http://www.nfb.ca/e/index.html They did lots of very cool experimental animation there, with everything from wooden cubes, to sand, to whatever. You should check them out.

Anyways, here is a little film I did ages ago on Super8mm using autumn leaves. http://www.ragtag.net/films/movies/kissHi.mov

Caroline Leaf really is amazing. Her sand and paint-on-glass films zoom in and out, shift "camera angles" as if flying, dissolve between scenes, all by shifting the material on the glass stage. They're well worth seeing.
