Casino Royale Poster Tribute
Casino Royale poster art tribute by Jeff Chapman. I like the "From Russia With Love" feel that this artwork has. Head over to Jeff's page here.
Thunderball Artwork Tribute
My own, hand-painted Thunderball 3 sheet. Finished the "Look Up" artwork last night. Painting the stone floor on the left was a bit of a challenge as McCarthy actually painted individual stones in detail.
Progress stages below: I've started with the background colours and stone wall (left), added the exhaust smoke and stone floor (middle) and then figures and jet-pack flames.

From Russia With Love - Original Art
Original art for "From Russia With Love" by Averardo Ciriello, 45 x 63 cm. Used for the Italian posters. From the collection of Thomas Nixdorf. Check out his Facebook page for a detailed view.
And now for something completely different...
"The Spy Who Loved Me" hand painted art on sack cloth for touring cinemas in Ghana, roughly 1980s, (left), Polish poster (middle), artwork from Italian record cover (right) for camparison.
This is the most unusual approach for 007 advertisding that I've seen so far. I thought that some Polish posters used an unusal approach but the flying fish is something else. The Ghana poster found here.

Thunderball Art Tribute
I've set myself the goal to reproduce all Thunderball artworks using the same materials, colours and (almost) the same formats. Just finished the Thunderball "Look Down" artwork based on Frank McCarthy's original. Sadly my digital camera does not capture the details too well, scan shows the face a bit better. Below a work-in-progress version without the air bubbles and the diver still as a sketch. Frank McCarthy's original for comparison below.
