A vintage touch makes the Captain Haddock a loved part of our Premium Collection. The KB Collection Captain Haddock Moving Sand Art is a must-have for the nautical fanatic. Whether it is a love of the ocean, boat trips, or cruising along the shore, it will bring reminiscent memories of calming waves allowing for a relaxing sensation until you can get back to the ocean.

Captain Haddock is 11″ x 1 1/2″ making it ideal for display at home or the office. The Captain Haddock Sand Art makes great wall art but can also be displayed on a table using our premium stand available here.
With this versatile ever-changing sand picture, The Captain Haddock Moving Sand Art is sure to wow you and inspire serenity for countless hours. If you are giving this as a gift, its one that they will talk about for years to come! Your Captain Haddock Sand Art will do several times a day what mother earth takes millions of years to accomplish.
Due to the handcrafted nature of each item, each piece bears its own unique qualities.
The KB Collection moving sand art is interactive, ever-changing, mesmerizing and versatile handcrafted art pieces. Turn the sand picture over to watch the battle of the elements: The sand just wants to settle at the bottom, the air just wants to escape to the top, the water hosts the party. The result is the sand trickles between the air bubbles to create fascinating stratifications in the sand mountains.
Mount Captain Haddock to the wall using the provided wall mount and screws, then slide the rotating bracket on the back of sand picture into the mount. This allows for the sand picture to be rotated on the wall without removing it. More air creates a slower flow of sand resulting in a delicate trickle of sand making more dramatic peaks and valleys. Less air creates a faster flow of sand making dune shapes. Best of all, these handcrafted art pieces are equipped with an air hole to last for years on end, allowing for you to regulate the amount of air in each sand picture so you can make the sand fall as fast or as slow as you want.
Contents Include: Sand picture with attached rotating bracket, small size wall mount with screws and drywall anchors, Air injector, Airscale, Instruction manual, endless hours of peace and serenity! (Injector intended for adult use only)

Klaus Bosch (aka The Sandman) has been making his interactive KB Collection Sand Art in Lustenau, Austria since 1982. When Sandman was a younger man searching for his way in life, a friend of his gave him one of the original versions of sand art available in the '80s. He was captivated as his mind tried to wrap around the beauty of the art and why it did what it did. Fascinated, he decided to try to make one for himself. Trial after trial, failure after failure, he finally created a sand picture he could sell in 1988. Yes, 6 years of experimentation finally resulted in what you see today as the KB Collection sand art. Klaus is always thinking of ways to defy gravity with his sand art.
The original, classic sandblend is what you see in the Deep Sea Pacific and a few others models.
Since his first appearance at the Zurich Art Gallery in Switzerland in 1993, Klaus Bosch has been recognized as a master of this unique art in the international art field, and is honored as The Sandman, the master of kinetic pop art.
Sandman's world renowned sand art has been in the display windows (worldwide) of Louis Vuitton and Nordstrom's. He has been commissioned to make special gifts for Kings, Sultans, and famous dignitaries. His art can be found in gallery exhibits, museums, hotels, spas and businesses around the globe.
From Sandman: "My sand art is spiritual, it contains a lot of questions and indicates answers at the same time. It involves the beauty of what art once was while trying to give answers to our spirit and our inner calm."
"Don't try to understand my art with your mind. Feel it with your heart and use your imagination."
The Sandman makes the KB Collection Sand Pictures in his studio in Lustenau, Austria. This beautiful small city is embraced by the Alps and overlooks the shores of Lake Constance. Klaus works closely with his small team of detail oriented, skilled craftsman to create his works of art that are beloved worldwide. Klaus is proud of the fair wages and exceptional work environment offered at his sand factory. Sandman makes sourcing from local companies a priority for all components used in the making of the sand art. Making ethical, sustainable art is a must.
At the sand factory extensive measures are taken to ensure that very little is wasted. All boxes are from recycled materials, as well as the cardboard inlays. All wood is sourced from certified sources to ensure sustainability. The KB Collection is designed to last a lifetime. Each piece comes equipped with air holes to adjust air and replenish the water. No throw and go cheap Chinese knock-offs are made. Care is taken in every aspect from beginning to end.
Each piece is handcrafted with love and attention to detail. The signature of the artist KB is your guarantee for the passion of crafting which is put into each sand art leaving the Sand Factory.
