Thomas Koet from Amsterdam Holland, now
lives with his wife and business partner Jill, in the USA.
He is one of the three new people added this year to the Sultans Of Sand
stable of associated worldwide master sand sculptors. But, by no means is
he a newbie in the sand sculpting sport or industry. Trained as an engineer
and well heeled in the sand biz, I have been courting him to join a
SOS crew for some time. But, like many touring sand pros busy with jobs of
their own, and working with other sand friends elsewhere as well, it took
some time, and doing to 'get ' him. It was a joy to have both Thomas
and Jill this year, and both sculptures they created are great examples
of the illustration work the producers like to see rendered in this
show. Visit their web site: Sandsational. |

The General Store
by Thomas Koet Holland, and Jill Smith USA Photo by Jorge Weigand Commerce and trade in the old west, just like today, needed to happen on a daily basis. The general store of the old west was like the Mall is today. you could buy all sorts of goods and wares, and it was a place where the genteel sort would sometimes gather to share gossip or news. |
