I've always been a huge fan of Grace Jones. Of course I must paint May Day from A VIEW TO A KILL. May Day wears many interesting leather outfits from the movie, but I was particularly attracted to this bright red dress in the horse racing scene. This is the first appearance of May Day, a genetically modified super-human. In the movie, the drugs that made her powerful also made her deadly and psychotic. The colour red is perfect in capturing her fiery character. The background is the Golden Gate Bridge which is the main back drop of the latter half of the movie. The view from the bridge was so breath-taking that caused May Day to utter the line "from a view to a kill" from the villain's lair, a blimp that belongs to the Zorin Corporation.
