Sketch o’the Week

This week is another of the sketches I did for my “Secret Agent Man” limited edition print (which are still available! :D), this one of Timothy Dalton.

I thought I was being very clever when I did the art for that print. I wanted to make sure I did something that would be appreciated by even hardcore Bond fans. I wanted the poses, attitudes, accessories, etc. to be spot on. I underestimated how hardcore those fans can be, however. I was taken to task over several blunders, like the ruffles on George Lazenby’s shirt being horizontal, not vertical. The worst offense was that I put them all in tuxedos with “wing-tip” shirt collars . . . apparently James Bond wouldn’t be caught dead in a wing-tip collar. Oh, well. Can’t win ’em all.
