Holly Goodhead in MOONRAKER (1979)

Dr. Holly Goodhead, the American scientist/ astronaut who helps Bond in fighting with the egomaniac Hugo Drax in this out-of-this-world space adventure. Fantastic designs throughout the movie. One of the most expensive looking Bond movies of all time. I love the movie score. Holly is wearing the Hugo Drax yellow space jumpsuit. In this scene, she and Bond discovers the Drax space station, an "entire city in space"! (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas)

Hugo Drax in MOONRAKER (1979)

MOONRAKER was a spectacular movie with many very expensive and fantastic sets designed by Ken Adam. My favorite of all the sets is probably this amber coloured pyramid shaped control centre where Drax, the main villain,  launches his space shuttles he named Moonrakers. If I have to paint one of the sets from the movie, this set has to be the first one. (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas)

James Bond in MOONRAKER (1979)

After painting Blofeld from YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, I was in a sci-fi state of mind. The next portrait I felt like painting Mr. Bond himself. The most challenging Bond costume to paint is probably the space suit he wears in MOONRAKER. It was a challenge all right. I never painted a costume like that before. So I tried. It was fun to try to capture the glittery foil fabric on the costume. I am particularly fond of the plain dark blue outer space background. Simple and effective. The stars were painted with the tip of a toothpick. (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas)
