Uploaded on May 19, 2011

Todd Williams is jewelry maker with a fine hand, a sculpture maker with a wit, and a performer trickster. He might spend 200 or 300 hours perfecting one of his incredible Land Sharks but the real work comes when he brings them out to play. His sculptures are animations that interact with people at events like Burning Man and Coachella by chasing each other through the crowds. While the chassis of the sharks is a remote control monster truck, you can't just drive a Land Shark, you have to become a Land Shark.

    That would add a lot more weight to the back end, but would look even better. When you see it in person it is quite effective.

    People will lie on the ground and "'swim" for us. We feed on them with glee. So much fun to see what people come up with.

    Some little kids( 2 to 5 yr. olds) are scared , but every time I take them out there are sober adults that are clearly scared of them and want to get away. 1 or 2 every time.

    Thanks for the kind words about my work, Video does not do justice to the visual effect seen in person .

    I am working on Large El-Wire Butterflies currently. I am available for performing in the San francisco Bay Area, and International Electronic Music Festivals.

    He didn't mention the fact that it eats people, their afterlife, and then it proceeds to sleep with your girlfriend/boyfriend.
