An artist drew a huge beach doodle of the iconic 'The Scream' painting spanning more than 300ft across the seafront to highlight the plight of our 'dying planet'. Fred Brown went to Scarborough Beach armed with a broom and a garden rake, painstakingly carving his own take on Edvard Munch's famous artwork into the sand.
In just three hours, the self-professed 'artivist' etched the instantly-recognisable figure clutching his horror-stricken face to raise awareness of the 'impact humans have on the planet'. Starting at midday and finishing up at 3pm, the 51-year-old then admired his handiwork from a higher vantage point before the tide washed it away a few hours later.
Fred, from York, said: "The Scream is among the most iconic and instantly-recognisable images around. It seemed fitting for the message I wanted to impart - that we're destroying our planet and that it's horrifying if you actually stop to think about it.
