I saw JAWS way too young and even though I've spent a lot of time in the ocean in my life, there's a part of my mind that always looks out to the murky deep in fear.
While I won't be rushing to re-watch it, I'm really happy with how my boxset design for Wolf Creek turned out. A simple but great art brief from Imprint.
