Just came across this! so cool! Official artwork for the 50th anniversary by the real life MI6 artist. Liking the yellow. What do people think?

I'm not impressed, really. Looks like someone uploaded a bunch of photos to Photoshop and hit 'charcoal'.

It was good enough for the EON poster, but not good enough as a standalone print. Bad image of Brosnan.

From what "the artist" has said in that interview, it sounds like he painted the bodies and then stuck the heads on afterwards.

The all-white version is quite effective though:

Fair points I guess. Will be nice to see them in person though. Can't imagine 007.com putting there name against something which isn't top quality - watch this space maybe. The white one though is effective Sub-Lieutenant, apparently the gold will be gold leaf...

Err, have you seen the Skyfall posters? :P

Really? I actually think they look fantastic. Better than any Skyfall poster we've seen (except the original gunbarrel teaser, which I love), and harkens back to that Dr. No poster.

Closest we'll ever get to an illustrated Bond poster again, I reckon...
