Tusken Raider

Dear unwavering & ardent fanbase,
If you hold absolutely any interest in the arts, take the 8 minutes... even the 33 seconds from today's busy agenda and devote them to the viewing of the following clip:



This is one of the most moving sand stories you'll ever see - in all likelihood, the only one. However many tales you've seen written in sand against a lightbox, this portrayal of the devastating impact of WWII on the citizens of the Ukraine will reach you.

Ukranian artist Kseniya Simonova's 'painting' pushed judges and audience alike to tears - a resultant 4,000,000 viewers accessing Youtube, hoping to witness this display of purity and talent. If that number of youtube hits still leaves you skeptical, 24year-old Kseniya walked away with the small sum of $125,000 for her efforts and was crowned "Ukraine's most talented".



Think you can do better?
