Thank you JJ to recognize it! Potraits are not easy to do at least for me and if are sculpted are more hard,yes is Vincent Price his moniker was Bink.

Marrinan · May 15, 2014

I don't know who Blink is but that is definitely Vincent Price. and well done. Recognized him instantly and said I have got to set Mr. The straight but I see I am not the first. Fred

SamW · May 15, 2014

Very obviously Vincent and a very well done rendition!

Sam · May 15, 2014

Excellent carving, Paolo! I grew up being scared by ol' Vincent.

mrthe · May 15, 2014

Me too i love his films!

BKJ · May 15, 2014

Excellent work... I recognized him instantly but I didn't know the "bink" part!

davidshe · May 15, 2014

Thanks for the clarification!

He was also the scary voice in Michael Jacksons "Thriller" song. I enjoyed much of his work! And the Coin is Fabulous !!!

mr price would be the first to congratulate you on this work. it's excellent. i met the gentleman about 25 or so years ago, in of all places, a bk restaurant. he was asking directions, which i promptly provided. we swapped lies for maybe a half hour. he was a real gentleman, quite friendly, but did have "that look" about him. he was being driven to some sort of event in wheeling, wv, by his driver-- regular clothes, regular car- nothin fancy, just a plain nice guy to talk to.
you have certainly captured the essence of this man. thanks for showing

Monk great story, have to be fascinating meet a person like him !

Artemiss · May 16, 2014

Another great job Paolo

SamW · May 16, 2014

I think Monk is right that VP would congratulate you. As I remember, Mr. Price was also well known for his art collection.

monk · May 16, 2014

yes, paolo. he came about as a very humble person, who felt blessed to have the profession in which he was so popular. never saw a movie of his that i didn't like. sort of like lugosi & boris karloff. great, scarry actors.

pedroito · May 19, 2014

Paolo excellent job as always!

tsterling · May 20, 2014
