Ernst Stavro Blofeld in SPECTRE (2015)

Bond's biggest nemesis, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, finally returned in SPECTRE after disappearing from the Bond movie franchise for over 30 years. The last time we saw Blofeld in a Bond movie was in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY in 1981! The octopus motif in used heavily in the design of the movie. (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas)

Ernst Stavro Blofeld in ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE (1969)

Blofeld in OHMSS is played by Telly Savalas. The most sporty Blofeld ever. He is actively involved in all the chase scenes throughout the movie. That's a refreshing update from the previous Bond movies. The Savalas Blofled is a formidable character who likes to grab his cigar and his hand and wave it about when he talks. Very aggressive.

Ernst Stavro Blofeld in DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (1971)

If I paint another Blofeld, I must include his beloved white cat. This portrait of Blofeld was the first time I use sticky rhinestones to make shiny objects stand out. A lot of fun doing it and I am happy with the result. (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas) 

Ernst Stavro Blofeld in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967)

Blofeld is Bond's nemesis in the series. I cannot have a Bond characters tribute without one portrait of Blofeld. Of course, the first portrait would come from from the next Bond movie, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. Not only was this the first painting that I learned how to paint a dramatically lit face of a big villain. This painting is also the first time I tried to paint an iconic Bond movie set. The volcano lair in the movie was so impressive I knew that I had to paint it sooner or later. This gave me the opportunity to study the set design by Ken Adam, the wizard who designed many iconic sets in the Bond movies. Who doesn't love a fake volcano that opens to a rocket launch pad? Only Bond movies can do that! (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas)
