Hi all, I've just recieved an oil Painting I had done by an Artist of all the Bonds to date, and have a few things on my mind....
I am thinking of getting a signed limited edition print done of it and wanted to know what kind of interest there may be??
This is depending on whether there may be a copyright issue or not.... I dont know if faces are copyright??
anyway if all goes to plan I was thinking of a run of about 100 prints which would make this a very rare print, size approx 50x60 cms on Fine art paper.
Its quite hard to qoute a price at the moment because of all the different factors involved, ie number of prints, Paper quality etc etc but could be looking around 40-50 pounds per print.
THE ARTIST..... Mike Nance is a Well known British artist who painted this for me, he can be "Googled" where some of his other work can be viewed, ( also some on ebay!) I have the Luck of him being a family friend and being able to have asked him to do this for me.
I'd be interested to hear what you think. also about the painting itself!

very unlike you to be so negative....
actually i've never seen a decent portrait of all six bonds, they always leave me cold...
the craig and dalton are ok....
the connery isn't the worst i've seen
the Moore is very craig, as you suggest..
but the Lazenby looks about 17 and the Brosnan is simply terrible....
a friend of mine is an excellent portrait painter...i'm sure she'd love the challenge if anyone is interested....
Chris, if you're happy with it, then that's all the matters....
otherwise, i'd ask the artist for another attempt on the Brosnan at least....
B-)
Does anyone know who did the portrait of Q surrounded by the different Bond that Desmond was presented with...THAT would be a must have!

I didnt want the "typical" bond poses and wanted expressions that were "normal", I even got him to paint a Tux on brosnan even though the orginal photo didnt have him wearing one.
these are the photos I used as first choice...
I think I will ask him to have another go at brosnan using a different photo.
