Is that the original art from Octopussy, Thomas? Welcome! Okie

Thomas Nixdorf · « **Reply #3 on:** April 14, 2018, 12:29:26 PM »

Yes, this is the original movie poster concept art by Dan Goozeé. This concept was approved an then he painted the final art...

That's barely 25 posters a year, I think you will find you're well off the pace of many here.

As your US counsel, I too welcome you to the boards - hope you enjoy it.

Excited to see the breadth of your collection, Thomas! What are your top two favorite pieces?

Welcome to the forum!

This original Frank McCarthy painting for "Thunderball" is my favorite piece by a margin...

Stunning, Thomas.

Can't wait to see what the rest of your collection holds!

Oh yeah, that's the good stuff!!! The painting looks like it has survived very well. Bad guy only brought a knife to a spear fishing fight! Okie

Wow... nice!!

Simes · « **Reply #17 on:** April 16, 2018, 03:49:33 AM »

Must admit I am not sure about that one... The gun barrel looks a little out of line.

But superb that it is 'up'.

Cheers.

1000 individual (as I suspect) BOND posters...I don't think that's off the pace.
Having that number, or near it, puts you up there.
Not many of us with those numbers for Bond alone, I can tell you.

Thomas's collection is amazing.

Thomas Nixdorf · « **Reply #20 on:** April 17, 2018, 12:00:02 AM »

Yes, 1000+ Bond posters and 250+ original 007 posters...

Had a lot of stuff from other movies but focused and specialized my collection on Bond & Espionage posters & art in the last years...

Damomac · « **Reply #21 on:** April 17, 2018, 12:19:02 AM »

Thomas - is there any particular Bond piece which you really need/want that you have not been able to find? With a collection that large i assume there would not be many posters which you don't own - the original artwork maybe a different story.

Really look forward to seeing more of your collection

Enjoy your time on here

Cheers

This original McGinnis artwork from "You Only Live Twice" I really want. Was outbid at auction TWICE - in 2000 and 2010. Do not know where it is now..

Simes · « **Reply #23 on:** April 17, 2018, 08:45:56 AM »

Maybe in 2020...?? Good luck.

Has McGinnis signed it anywhere?

Thomas Nixdorf · « **Reply #24 on:** April 17, 2018, 08:47:26 AM »

Yes, it is signed at the lower right... must post a better picture
