Jaws Illo for the Village Voice
The above rendering is for this week’s Village Voice illustrating an upcoming screening of Jaws at Pier 54 on Manhattan’s west side. For a shark enthusiast like myself, this sort of illo job is akin to your Alma Mater winning the NCAA basketball championship or perhaps bearing witness to a the elusive Yeti; something you hope for but don’t necessarily expect.
very nice pa! I’m never going to the statue of liberty again. The gums of that demon terrify me. jj
That looks so good in the post against white…Can’t wait to see it in print!
“And, you know, the thing about a shark … He’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be living … until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then … ah, then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin’ and the hollerin’, they all come in and they … rip you to pieces.” -Robert Shaw as “Quint,” Jaws (1975)
That’s some bad hat, Harry.
