Best sculpture I've ever seen hands down, that is one of my favorite characters in film history and it was spooky amazing on point. Robert Shaw would be proud. RIP Mr. Shaw
Johnny K.- Absolutely, he’s an extremely under appreciated actor. I’ve never understood why he was so unappreciated. He should have won numerous awards for this role.
Shades of Duane Hanson. Impeccable work and a true tribute to Robert Shaw and his iconic performance. I sincerely hope this amazing work of art is preserved for future Shaw and Jaws fans to appreciate.
Amazing sculpture. Quint is such a great character. He is so cocky and stubborn in trying to catch the shark, endangering all of their lives. His death scene always got to me, knowing his past experiences with sharks, and for the sheer brutality of it. Well played by Robert Shaw.
I agree about Shaw, but in JAWS I am also always taken up with the subtlety of that police chief, and the brashness and realness of Dreyfus. A great trio; so great.
The work of the old wax museums pales in comparison to this phenomenal creation. Photographs of this show no discernible variance from the live actor. This demonstrates the evolution of this genre of sculpture and makeup. I am in awe and very inspired.
I'm so blown away by this. What an incredible likeness and detail! He really did capture Shaw's Quint character. I think even Richard Dreyfuss would be speechless (for a moment, lol).
Seeing that both Robert Shaw and the late great Roy Scheider are dead (RIP), leaving Richard Dreyfuss as the last of the trio living, I couldn't think of a better tribute than a trifecta of sculptures!
'The thing about my wax sculpture, it's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When it comes at you it doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites you, and those black eyes roll over white.' Just kiddin' (I couldn't resist) You nailed it, Nick! One of the best likenesses I've ever seen!
The Mozart of sculpters. First time I saw it on another video, I kept waiting for him to get up and move around and talk. Talk quite a while for me to believe this wasn't a live Quint!
I live fairly close to the town of Westhoughton where Robert Shaw was born there is a pub on the main Street named the Robert Shaw after the great man himself who was born in the town this amazing piece of art would look awesome on display in there!
I LOVED this piece all over Instagram this past weekend. Great to hear a fellow artist's commentary on their process. Thanks for featuring Nick & his work!
"...eleven hundred men went into the water, three hundred sixteen men come out, and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945." -Quint, *Jaws 1975*
There's a video on RU-vid of Dreyfuss seeing the sculpture for the first time. In interviews with Dreyfuss he is clearly moved and emotional about Robert Shaw. The emotions show when he's looking at the sculpture.
Woooooooow!!!!! Thank you so much for this video. I gives people like me a chance to see something incredible. I just can't get to events like this. Great interview.
Robert Shaw didn’t become Quint, Quint simply broke Shaw down, until he played him the way he wanted... Late to the party, but the work here is truly outstanding!! ...and I agree with many, Tussaud’s should take note - you get too close to their works, it’s so-so ...yet here, it just gets better and better. Would love to see this piece in person.
Never knew about that thicker (tin) can back in the day, but as a kid, I pretty much though Quint being though as nails. Epic piece of art and hopefully a treat for many eyes in the years to come. And cool about the Westworld thingy. I have yet to see the series.
This guy creates the most lifelike sculpture I've ever seen and then people still criticise him because he mispronounces the name of a beer. Welcome to the internet in 2017.
People with that skillset could easily become 'contemporary artists' and make millions. One has to appreciate he invests his talent in awesome pop culture items like this one.
