Veni vidi... Victor!
Très joli mon ami! Source.
Remember Victor's Fiji Bull Shark?
Well, they are here - Victor and the Sharks!
Judging from his Facebook entries, the man is having a blast - whilst obviously being inspired for his next big oevre!
And lemme tell 'ya: it's gonna be epic!
To be continued!

State of the Sharks - now with even more Shark!
Shark Savers report here.
There are also a new great interview with Mark and Chris here and a nice podcast with Chris here - and now that Victor has contributed one of his iconic sculptures, see on top, the whole thing has become even better!
And if you got 20 minutes to spare, watch this!

Victor - Fiji Bull Shark!
Click for detail!
This is it!
After the chrome version, here comes the real deal!
This is one of Fiji's very own Bulls swimming away right after it has taken a Tuna head - the head is still visible as a lump just before it will be swallowed, or whatever you call it when Sharks do that.
I know that because that's exactly how it looks and because we've traded many e-mails and screen grabs whilst Victor was sculpting it.

Like I said - magnifique!

Victor - Magnifique!
So here it is - click for detail.
This is the Fiji Bull Shark in all of its stainless steel splendor.
I've just met with Victor for a fun couple of hours in Los Angeles but alas, the sculpture was being outfitted with its base and I didn't see it - but from what I can discern, it could not have been done better.
Magnifique - bravo!
PS: merci! :)

Victor - getting there!
Feeding Bull Shark, screen shot from Saturday's dive - click for detailRemember the strange contraptions?
Yes they were indeed molds - but not for the company logo!
Instead, they were for the rear end of a Bull Shark, seen here in red wax on the left hand side of the pic!
Enter Victor Douieb, sculptor of Sharks and passionate Shark diver.
Visitors of DEMA 2010 may remember him from the Unexco booth where among several others, he was proudly showcasing his sculpture of Cristina balancing one of her Sharks. I like the man, his artwork and his philosophy and when he told me that he was going to sculpt a feeding Bull Shark, I was eager to assist in any way I could.
We've been e-mailing back and forth ever since.
Victor is a perfectionist and progress has been slow.
You can follow it when scrolling down on his Facebook page, from the first lump of clay in August and the entire animal at the end of that month all the way to the cast in wax and finally, the big metal sculpture fresh from the foundry below. The pictures Victor is consulting are screen shots from the Shark Dive and I am proud to say that the end result very much resembles one of the Beqa Sharks!
Keep following Victor on his wall as he applies the final touches to his latest masterpiece!
Mind you, just a hint! :)

I say: this is something that should grace the board room of a Fiji-loving Shark NGO - or even better, said NGO should donate it to BAD!
Mind you, just a hint! :)
