Adolescent James Bond

Holy crap! A post that has absolutely nothing to do with custom vinyl toys!

This was a commission I recently completed. This guys son is completely obsessed with James Bond and he asked me to do a portrait of his son in a 007 movie poster style. I went with the look from "Dr. No".

FYI- I'm currently taking commissions. If you're interested, you can find more info HERE.

Continuing my series of retro versions of the posters for the original Sean Connery Bond movies. I'm really enjoying the loose illustration style for these. It's a fun style to add to my bag of tricks. As always, comments are welcome.

Bond, James Bond...

I decided to give myself a bit of a design excercise this week. I've started making my own retro versions of posters for the original Sean Connery Bond movies. It's been a lot of fun. The style is much looser than how I normally work. I think they came out OK. Comments are welcome.

The poster for Dr. No plays off of Dr. No's mechanical hand and the opening credits for the movie. The opening credits are really nice with that classic 60's feel.

For Goldfinger, I decided to feature the Nazi gold bar that 007 uses to get his foot in the door with Goldfinger and the iconic gold painted girl. I guess there's a message in there somewhere about excessive greed being deadly or something. :)

Hope you like it!
