"Krazy" the clown was inspired by a character in a movie that Quebec's Marc Lepire watched with his son. The day before this photo was taken, the clown had hair on both sides of his head, but a bird landed on one side and collapsed that part of the sculpture. Lepire compensated by carving the skull open and exposing the clown's brains.

"Magnetic Feels" was built by Fergus Mulvaney of Ireland. When asked about the temporary nature of sand sculptures, Mulvaney replied, "No material lasts forever.

So this makes it even more special and more exclusive. Nobody can have it."
