  • We first met sculptor Nick Marra when he debuted his Westworld Gunslinger at Monsterpalooza two years ago. His latest work is just as impressive: an incredibly lifelike rendition of shark hunter Quint--as played by the late Robert Shaw--from Jaws. We check out this sculpture's numerous details and chat with the artist about this kind of portrait sculpting.

    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.

    '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!
