@boogiebuddy01 Don't need money when you have acid!

[StyrathiX]

The idea is so simple, but it looks so breathtaking. I think this man is a genius.

[chrisco741]

this is.....ART ATTACK

[claw7755]

and when they see some less complicated figure on a field they say omg we are gonna get doomed by aliens !

[rpare666]

Nice, temporary, nice

[jimmyPain2121]

Proud to be Kiwi...

[aussieosho]

He should write on every Art Job " Everything Fades "

[psyclepath1964]

I'm a transplanted Yank from San Diego CA and I'm fortunate enough to be able to watch Peter several times per week. He's an amazing artist and a very nice guy. His bike's cool too. I'm a Harley-Davidson mechanic, so that's saying a lot! Cheers to Peter!!!

[nzdoc]

Its not easy for Peter to make any money , and a shame the New Zealand art world and local council dont realise Peter Donnelly is an absolute genius, VR

[sekamenacerecords1]

@nzdoc I live in New Brighton - The local council should pay Peter for his work, look at how many people he attracts to the peir! If not the council, the surrounding businesses should pay him something at least for attracting so many customers.

I thought before viewing your comment that this would be the case, it's really sad to hear that it isn't. Mind you, Bob Parker will be Bob Parker.

[alkoholic27]

Never seen anything like it in my life! Dont know how he does this without a birds eye view!! Did a quick search and found where you can get these works online, and support an iconic kiwi artist in the process!! Lets show peter our support of his amazing work :) Seach for Peter Donnelly at Trademe New Zealand

[nzdoc]

[Liface]

What is it? ..... SAND.

ahahah

[yannlenabi]

This is absolutely incredible indeed!

Can anyone tell me what the music at the end is ("let the sun shine down, chase the clouds away")? In an interview I read, Valerie Reid said it was fully original local music. But who is the artist? Is the music available somewhere? Sounded great! John Martyn-like, but with a great vibe to it...

[nzdoc]

Original song by Tahi Richards, title- Sunshine Down. Tahi has not sold this through record stores, so its hard to get.

[nzdoc]

Some people are born to do great things,

I still don't get it! why you spend too much time working on that knowing that a wave may come and destroy it in a blink of an eye!!

[PicoriKing]

Such is the beauty of nature.

[noissez]

that is a very materialistic way of looking at things. the result is one thing, the joy of doing something is another.

[candyspender]

reminds me of those Tibetan Buddhist sand mandalas...its all about impermanence!

[sonalxm]

[wotonden]

[suncapsol]

Cannot think of any words but WOW! And all of the adjectives that usually accompany WOW!
