Ice sculptor Sean Fitzpatrick told us yesterday that he has already started work on his ice sculpture for First Night, which will be displayed at Faneuil Hall Marketplace and will feature five Boston sports personalities — Shaquille O’Neal, Tom Brady, Bruins goalie Tim Thomas, Wally the Green Monster, and David Ortiz. “I’m working on Shaq’s head,’’ said Fitzpatrick (inset), who is making only a head for Shaq but a full-body sculpture of Brady. Asked how he plans to depict Brady’s hair, Fitzpatrick told us he’s avoiding the issue altogether by sculpting our QB wearing a helmet. “His locks blowing in the wind? No,’’ Fitzpatrick said, laughing. The sculptor said he guesses that if anyone shows up to see themselves in ice, it will probably be Wally — or maybe Shaq. “He’s just that type of guy.’’
