Inspirational Sand
Sculptures In Maryland-Truth!
Summary of the eRumor This eRumor is usually in
pictures without any text although sometimes there is mention of a
beach in Maryland. It is a collection of pictures of Jesus
sculpted in sand. There are numerous Internet sites that have
the pictures posted without reference to where the sand sculptures
appeared or who the artist is. Some versions say the
sculptures are made each day and washed away by the surf.
The Truth
According to an 8/26/02 article in
the Ocean City Today newspaper
in Ocean City, Maryland, the sculptures are the work of artist Randy
Hofman. The summer sculptures usually appear in front of the
Palm Plaza hotel. Hofman is an ordained minister who also
passes out a Christian booklet to beach visitors who come to view
his art. He estimates he's given out 800,000 of them since he
started in the mid 1980's. Each of his creations lasts for
about a week. He's got a website at www.randyhofman.com.
