Last year, he created more than 200 works in the sand locally and across the globe.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/STC-L-PERSEVERE-0108-01_102906746.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"779\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/STC-L-PERSEVERE-0108-01_102906746-779x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/STC-L-PERSEVERE-0108-01_102906746-779x1024.jpg 779w, https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/STC-L-PERSEVERE-0108-01_102906746-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/STC-L-PERSEVERE-0108-01_102906746-768x1009.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/STC-L-PERSEVERE-0108-01_102906746.jpg 796w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 779px) 100vw, 779px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ongoing California storms have beaten the hell out of beloved little communities like Capitola, where the pier &amp; cute seaside bungalows have gotten trashed.
