Enjoy the world of James Bond... the books, the movies, and everything related to them? If so, you really have to check out illustrator and major James Bond fan Peter Lorenz's blog, Illustrated 007. The blog has one simple mission: to show you great illustrations from the world of James Bond. You'll see art from James Bond movie posters, billboards, book covers, toys, puzzles, role-playing games, and all kinds of other stuff. Regarding all of the preceding, you'll see official released artwork, intriguing rejected prototypes, and obscure art produced for foreign markets.
Also, there are occasional fun features like comparisons between the American versions of 1960's Bond posters and their more risque British counterparts (generally, think less bikini and more skin), and interviews with the artists who created the great Bond art that's showcased on the blog.
Anyway, if the material described is at all interesting to you, this is a fun site that's worth a look every now and then. You can find it at http://illustrated007.blogspot.com. And, by the way, accompanying this post is artwork created by Rudy Obrero for the poster for 1983's "unofficial" Bond movie, Never Say Never Again. Mr. Obrero and his work is currently being spotlighted on Mr. Lorenz's site.
