Description [Update] I have a limited run of 10 signed 9x12 GiclΓ©e prints of this piece available. Send me a note if you're interested. If you're at all interested, you need to tell me now as once they're gone, there won't be any more.[/Update]


The moment I saw this photo of Vanessa Lake, I knew I had to try something with it:


I can't take credit for the idea, since she mentioned wanting to be a Bond girl. But since I'd been wanting to do another McGinnis style piece, this was kind of a perfect opportunity.

Too bad it's too late to enter the Vanessa Lake contest.

The hardcore Bond fans among you will be able to spot which film I stole the credits from.

Model: Vanessa Lake
Based on Vanessa's photography by: Beguiling Images

Another good one! Though this one reminds me more of the "Our Man Flint" movies in style. BUT LOVE 'EM ALL!

Heh, true. It's got more emphasis on the girls, and not as much on the crazy tech stuff.

This is absolutely amazing Ben. I love Bond movies and Bond movie posters. This one is great and the ladies came out beautiful. Bond doesn't look bad either.

How I miss glorious technicolor. You didn't need three-D glasses to appreciate it.

Thanks, Dan!

It was actually impossible to find a picture of Sean Connery from this side of his face. He must have some kind of contract that only allows photos to be taken of his right side.

Yeah, I don't like 3D that much...

Your interpretation of Vanessa is brilliant. It is almost like a Robert McGinnis piece. I already loved the original photo, and this great artwork made my day once again. Thanks.

Thank you! That's very kind of you.

I couldn't quite decide if I should draw her tattoos or not. It might've worked for a 70s poster, but might've been too much for a 60s poster .

serhanyenilmez In reply to BenTanArt [2010-10-05 22:51:02 +0000 UTC]

It would definitely look great. Her tattoos are amazing and yet, there are the Casino Royal Poster by Robert McGinnis

Very clever (even if part of the idea came from Ms Lake) and executed perfectly. I love when you do these retro-inspired pieces that include all thr little nuances and this one ranks at the top.
