Mike hill is an amazing sculptor that creates original sculptures of old monster movie characters, and this piece is from An American Werewolf in London, my favorite movie of all time. The amazing this from this scene is that he created a figure for both David Naughton, who plays the werewolf, but also Rick Baker, the make up artist who created the make up effect in the movie. Just an incredible job:
This piece seems to run parallel with some of Hill's earlier work, which depicts the old Universal Monster movie characters with THEIR make up maestro, Jack Pierce, like thus:
Amazing work.
