Where most of us only see a big pile of snow, Dan Kelly sees a blank canvas.

"I call it 'bomb the banks'. It's legal graffiti. It's cathartic. It gets me outside. I like to be outside," said Kelly, while painting a large snow bank near Shady Oak Beach in Minnetonka.

Instead of a brush, Kelly uses makeshift sprayers, and instead of paint, he uses a mixture of water and food coloring to draw giant-sized faces, usually of the abominable snowman, on snow banks. Kelly says he started drawing on snow banks a few years ago as something to brighten up the winter doldrums."It looks like actual characters popping out of the snow. People with kids love it. Every time they go by, the kids laugh and point at it and get a big kick out of it, said Kelly.His masterpieces only last until the next time it snows.
