Good art, although he always seems to do Connery work. I would love for McGinnis to do some Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan and Craig work some time.

I'd love to see something for one of the early Moore Bond films from him sometime. I've loved his Connery art prints in this collection so far.

I'm under the impression that the artwork is not "new" as in painted recently but work that he did over 40 years ago. He is merely having them printed and signed for the collector. Therefore I doubt there is any prints of Lazenby or Moore in similar fashion.

So far the prints have been of the Thunderball era and that was at a time when Bond was at his highest popularity. These recent prints would have been drawn for magazines such as Playboy. The United Artist PR department was in overtime during this period. Doing their best to offer as many avenues to promoting the biggest Bond film at that time.

Yeah, and Hef is about the only guy I know who could get away with hanging most of these in his home. Well, him and maybe "The Ladies' Man" from SNL.
