Artist Andy Moss raked up a giant 165ft sand art creation on Blackpool beach to mark the DVD release of Alvin & The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked!

OK, it is not our normal area, but watch this space as it might happen on a beach near you, very soon!  

On Wednesday, 28 March 2012, children from St John’s primary school in Blackpool meet up with their heroes. They then helped them to make a giant sand installation. can you guess what it was? Yep, it was a promo for Alvin and The Chipmunks to celebrate the DVD release of their latest film, Alvin & The Chipmunks - Chipwrecked.

Alvin and the gang from St John’s worked along the side of artists from local art collective, Sand In Your Eye, to create the giant drawing of the global superstar, under the shadow of the Blackpool Tower.

Just before the event, Andy Moss who was the team leader at Sand In Your Eye told us that:- "Sand art is a brilliantly creative way of getting out in the fresh air so we’re thrilled to be teaching some of Blackpool’s children all about it. We’ll be prepping the beach and marking out the area for our drawing in the morning and then when the kids get here we’ll be showing them the techniques needed to create the best sand art. And what better way to engage with them than by identifying one of their favourite characters in the form of the legend who is Alvin!"

Keep your eyes out on the Beach this Summer!!!
