An artist has dazzled beachgoers with his stunning lifelike sketches of animals in the sand.
Fred Brown has left members of the public in awe by his brilliant pieces – where he uses Brit beaches as his canvas.
From huge great white sharks to adorable foxes, the animal rights activist uses his talent to spread awareness.
For one of his most recent projects the York local designed a jaw dropping image of a bottlenose dolphin.
The image was spotted on Bridlington beach, East Yorks, where the animals are often seen in the water.
However, according to Fred they are still being hunted in places such as Japan to be displayed in dolphinariums.
The artist also created a thought provoking display on Scarborough beach of a great white shark.
Underneath the artwork was a line stating: “Sharks kill 12 people per year. People kill 1,100 sharks per hour.”
On 4 September, Fred created another piece of art on the same seafront, this time in the form of a Union Jack with a seagull on it.
What looks to be a splat of bird poo on the flag has the words ‘Tax the rich’ sketched onto it.
The artist also visited Whitby beach on the 7 September to sketch out an adorable fox into the sand.
The cute animal had the words ‘Run wild, little one. Grow strong, stay free.’ next to it, as reported by Need To Know.
According to Fred, this relates to Autumn Hunting, where the hunt trains their young foxhounds to chase and kill foxes by practising on fox cubs.
Fred Brown said: “Cubbing, also known as Autumn Hunting, is currently underway in England.
“Riders and hunt staff surround a covert where they know foxes and cubs are present and they send in the hounds.
“If any foxes try to escape the riders scare them back into the covert by saddle-slapping and whooping.
“They are documented by hunt saboteurs and monitors doing this every year.
“Fox hunting with hounds and horses was banned in 2005.”
