Created by American artist You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

Working as an artist for over 15 years, Swift has traveled to over 90 countries, creating art everywhere he goes. Inspired by the movie Jaws, Swift decided to challenge himself by painting on the shark head-shaped, three-dimensional surface. “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,” Swift revealed on You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

Two years later, Swift returned to his stone shark to find that the colors had faded a little due to the elements, so he decided to revive them. “After two years my shark was almost completely faded away, so a fresh coat of paint and he’s back and ready for more selfies,” he said.
