It’s truly amazing how mother nature can carve out such a perfect shape
By Jimmy Swift near the shore of Palolem Beach, South Goa, India.
“When I first saw this rock it looked like a perfect place for a great white. Hopefully it doesn’t scare the shit out of people! This was inspired by the movie posters from Jaws…. A movie that scared the shit out of me when I was a kid!” – Jimmy Swift

“This was the hardest thing I’ve ever painted. I was literally beat up by the waves and rising tide and forced to stop before it was finished. I could have done better, but between the blowing sand and wind, splashing waves, burning hot sun and the fact I’ve never painted a shark before or painted on a 3 dimensional surface like a rock…. I think it turned out OK” – Jimmy Swift

“Sometimes I plan things but for most of the time, I just see something and create it. For example, the shape of the rock was just soo perfect that I didn’t need to think about much. The shark was already there. I just pumped a little life into him/her. So I basically just brought those lines out with a little white and black spray paint,” – Jimmy Swift
