To celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the birth of Ian Flemming, publishing powerhourse Penguin recently commissioned the very talented British born, San Francisco painter Michael Gillette to paint iconic covers of 14 James Bond novels. Amazing work. His sexy interpretation of the infamous Bond girls, with a striking minimal colour palette overlayed with interlocking 60′s inspire type treatments are so good they’re sure to bounce off the shelf.

Bond Girls
I found a series of illustrations for book covers to the Ian Fleming James Bond cycle. I was taken with some of these and I edited them for use as profile pictures (the original versions had the title of the book painted across the back of each girl). Since I like to share things I find interesting, I thought I’d share my versions of these cover illustrations…..
