Sandalism: An Exploration of Sandy Neck’s Transient Dune Graffiti Hardcover – March 30, 2025

There once were fun people like youwho made cool beach art on sand dunes.When they left it alone,Skip found the art stonesand made up backstories to peruse.Maybe that limerick sucked, but it did a great job explaining the gist of this fun coffee table book about art made in the dunes of Cape Cod.Remember that time you spelled your name with stones at the beach? Later on I photographed it and then put it in this book with an obviously wrong backstory. Well, probably not one you did, but maybe — if you have visited Sandy Neck on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I've wandered those dunes for my whole life taking photos of people's sand dune art: names, initials, smileys, odd glyphs, alien shapes, artful images; the works! I then "researched" all the art I photographed and wrote backstories for them in this beautifully bound full color compendium of jokes, secret codes, heartfelt stories, and obvious lies.What will you discover in this tome of true lies, you ask? You'll learn about the Sand Weaver, a reclusive creature that comes at night to make unnatural displays. You'll learn out about secret locations of cursed pirate treasure the locals discuss only in hushed tones. And that one time the Illuminati infiltrated the dune art scene to gain followers. Then there's weird physics principles that cause stones to move of their own accord. And don't forget the time a whole town went on a year-long rampage to catch a vandal. These and a hundred other other short tales await you! That's the kind of fun ridiculousness you can expect of Sandalism. Real photos + fake facts = good times. Read more
