the Jaws 2 "red sunset" art
« on: February 24, 2014, 09:19:22 PM »
We are all familiar with the Jaws 2 "red sunset" art, seen here on the one-sheet.

We just received an email from a collector telling us that the art (which we never could identify) is by Enzo Sciott!

We emailed the collector and asked him how he knew this and he replied "I asked Enzo himself. :-)"

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Let me ask someone.

Yeah, I think it's bullshit.

This is Sciotti.



I don't see it in Jaws 2.

Maybe he's referring to this roughly 6x3 meter italian printed billboard?

Too bad that billboard couldn't have been folded a few more times.   8)

Not a huge quad fan, especially when they use the exact same design than the OS, but in this case, the quad is the best red ocean poster on the title.



And the Thai is the best period.

Don't take me wrong, I like quads, but sometimes the graphics are a little rough.  Not as bad as Aussies of course, but not as great as Italians or French.  Of course, it's very personal.

Hey, that's why I collect the French crap.  I grew up with it.  Literally.

I would say so. he never responded to anything in English so it was a google translate conversation.
