Andoni Bastarrika is a self-taught, Spanish street artist who has been creating the most incredible and realistic sand sculptures for the past ten years. Bastarrika works anywhere between six to twelve hours creating each sculpture and uses between 1,100 lb and 3,300 lb of sand for each one. Once they are complete, he leaves them to be enjoyed by the public before the wind takes them away. From animals to mermaids, Bastarrika's sculptures are mesmerizing and intricate and you can enjoy a selection of them below.

New York From Behind is the Instagram account documenting all of the quirky and creatively dressed fashionistas of NYC but from behind. No faces, only heads, backs, and butts. Cast your minds back to less than a month ago when New Yorkers (and the rest of the world) were able to roam around freely, where people had the opportunity to show off their somewhat questionable fashion taste to the world. This account reminds of happier days, where we were able to get close enough to each other to take pictures of such things. Here is a selection of some of NYC's most fashionable and boldly dressed individuals.
