Cool snow artist Simon Beck shows his stuff -- Video
Simon Beck is a British artist who is doing super cool things with snow. Here's a short video of him, showing his process for a "piece" he did in Switzerland. It's kind of like a Zen sand garden, only with snow. It's art with a weather-related expiry date and we think it's lovely. So does Icebreaker---they are offering a line of undies and tops inspired by Beck's creations (see bottom image for an example).
