This is probably my best work yet. I've spent hundreds of hours on this Joker bust, sculpting, molding, casting, painting and editing the video, and I'm excited to finally share it with you guys.
I think it would be incredible to see Willem Dafoe playing along with Joaquin Phoenix in the upcoming Joker movie sequel Folie a Deux, which translates to "Shared Madness". He is old enough to be playing Arthur Fleck's father, and since Thomas Wayne was revealed not to be his dad, I think this would be a once in a lifetime opportunity for Willem to take on the role of Joker's father. Perhaps if this idea catches on and gets to Todd Philips, maybe it could happen, who knows. It's not the first time an actor was fan cast. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
This video is not meant as a tutorial, and was made more for entertainment purposes, but for those who want to see the in depth process of how this statue was made, extended step by step videos are available on / craftyart

Ever since I saw Willem's role as the Green Goblin in Spiderman, I always imagined him as the best actor to play the Joker simply because he has the best face and the facial characteristics, that evil laugh, and talent.

It was obviously long-long time ago. I would say, from Streets of Fire (1984) for example. But today it looks like wasted opportunity, because Willem is too old for such role.

Instead, we keep getting losers. Joker is a character you really shouldn't fuck up andntheyve fucked it up every time. I personally don't give a fuck about Ledgers or Phoenix films, they aren't the Joker. Dafoe is literally The Joker. Any argument as to why he isn't or shouldn't be The Joker is invalid and isn't fit for serious or otherwise intellectual conversation.

Dude, I hope Willem sees this. It's remarkable and I'm sure he'd be flattered by how accurate your work is. Awesome job, and it's great you're selling these pieces, too. We could only be so lucky to see him portray the Joker, if even for a short film or a skit. He's got the presence to be insane, funny, and terrifying all at the same time, and it would all be believable.

So good to see your work. You are incredibly skilled and I hope that you continue to do what you love.

[@BROKENquickREVIVE]

Doesnt everyone 🙄

[@georgelohman5358]

You're very talented. I'll usually skip through videos like this but this one had me. Incredible work.

[@theorangutan1914]

This is beyond talent, this is pure brilliance 👏

[@palmarolavlklingholm9684]

Wilhelm Dafoe would be perfect for the role of Joker, no matter his age. But this just proved it. It was amazing to watch Wilhelm's face grow out o a clump of clay. whoever did this is a true master at his/her craft. I wish I had one percent of that talent.

[@GlennJohn-y8w]

Yep!😆

[@BobbyDukeArts]

Amazing.

[@Monkeyboi101-y9t]

Now make yourself as joker Bobby with wood XD

[@CraftyArt]

Thank you Bobby!

[@caerbannog]

I was just about to comment "I waont thayat" on this video.

[@kishona69]

This is, without an ounce of a doubt, THE best thing I've seen today. Well done man, well done.

[@Jagger-Tyr_13]

Honestly the best Joker we've never gotten.

[@Fredericosantos21]

Wasn't expecting this amazing piece of art wow👏👏👏

[@castiron_altroZ]

what a pair of magical hands you have, so much realistic, hats off to your talent and dedication. exceptionally beautiful. keep it up.

[@Profphizx]

Because you added total time, watching this is a good teaching moment for a child. It's simple but it helps break the illusion that this will take a day or whatever. 300 hours is about an hour a day for 10 months straight! Awesome work as well. 👍

[@naerkode]

That's really amazing, making Defoe not to look like the Green Goblin is one mean feat by itself.

[@emrakul5681]

And he nailed it, even in its already scary baseform!

[@bmack5265]

Wow--William Dafoe as the Joker is the absolute definition of something I never knew I wanted/needed until I saw your work. This is absolutely immaculate.

[@liquidbraino]

You don't get this good at what you do without having passion for your craft. This is *amazing* work.

[@azoutlaw7]

As soon as you started delineating the teeth, there was Willem in all his maniacal gloery.. brilliant!

[@phant0mdummy]

How has this not happened yet? He's so suited for the role and he has the chops to bring something unique to the role.

[@JarodJoseph]

Because Sony’s portrayal of Goblin was essentially the same thing. “We’ve seen it”- perhaps.

[@sarabreugelmans4859]

The amount of detail in this is absolutely insane. Amazing!

[@zivkovicable]

When someone has that kind of skill it feels like magic..10/10 for the craft...Art is in the eye of the beholder.

[@sngzr23]

You are an amazing artist and you inspire me. Please don't deprive us of your work. Thank you for posting more videos on the channel.

[@studentofcounterpoint]

Watching this piece of art coming to life was hauntingly beautiful, almost frightening. Thanks for this amazing experience.

[@ihaveadream9735]

This is CRAZY!👏

[@parisgordon2565]

what talent. Awesome. Yes Mr. Defoe can play that role. He is a good actor. I have watched him in so many movies.

[@sergiocerda5709]

That was simply perfect, you truly are a talented person. I´d love to see Willem Dafoe as the Joker, I think he was born to play the role... and I don´t know why producers haven´t casted him jet. The bust made me chills and scared me the hell out

[@hpaddict02]

This is amazing! I would love to Willem Dafoe as The Joker!

[@ArielAr]

Thanks for showing your talent and approach. It is amazing the level of detail you achieve, even in the texturing of clothe's textiles. I find also interesting to learn it took 300 hours despite your talent and experience, because it gives an indication of the hard work needed and it also help novices to set a reasonable level of expectation ( meaning we should not expect to do a piece of art like this in just 8-10 hours of work)

[@uwumarii]

This is awesome af. You really captured his presence as the joker. I love those little nerves on the forehead

[@echiax]

The amount of work you put into your pieces is incredible, I’m always left speechless at the final step. Watching you work is a pleasure, and I’m in awe at your dedication and skill

[@LoneBerseker]

His role as the green goblin really shows his capabilities as the joker. The insanity, the smile, the laugh, pretty athletic for some crazy moves aswell. Just perfect.

[@I_am_MaX_Frost]

It's always a pleasure to see an artist at work. Thank you.

[@GenerationalGamers]

This makes even the most talented artists question their skills and abilities. Incredible job!!!!

[@jamisonbelt9076]

Such a joy to see you at it. This, to me, was the making of a real Hollywood Joker. Willem fits perfectly for the roll. Far better than a Green Goblin, imo. Great sculpture! Cheers & Happy New Year!
