The piece was painted on a 46 x 32 cm illustration board.
Spidermans's enemies have always been the group of characters Simone most enjoys drawing. Within the Marvel Masterpieces all of them are portaryed.
Sandman was graphically difficult since he is made of an almost incorporal matter: the character had to be heavy, being a villain, but this weight had to be rendered through the fluid lightness of sand.. that was the most challanging, but also interesting part.
In 2018 the artwork was exhibited at the Metropolis Gallery in New York for the "Simone Bianchi Marvel Masterpieces Art Show" and in June 2019 it was exhibited at the Centro Le Ciminiere in Catania (Italy) for a personal exhibition of Simone's works organized by ETNA COMICS.
