Does anyone know the name of the artist responsible for the British TLD
poster? I thought it might have been Dan Gouzee.

TIA.

I'm staring at it real hard, and it doesn't look like Gouzee's work at
all... his brushstrokes tend to be broader and more pronounced; the Brit TLD
poster features both very cleanly-delineated pictures of Dalton and D'Abo,
and more pixilated, almost water-color-looking renderings of Krabbe, Baker
and Dalton in the Aston Martin.

It's pretty plainly the work of two artists, but I'd bet anything that
neither of them was Gouzee. I believe his last Bond assignment was AVTAK.

Good question! Does anybody out there have a clue? It is IMHO the last
"classic" James Bond poster.

I'm inclined to agree. The colours used are also much stronger than any
of Gouzee's poster work. I'd hadn't thought about two artists being
involved; but now you mention it the central Dalton figure does seem
like the work of a different artist when compared with the artwork
surrounding it.

It's the last one I really liked (excluding Peak's unused LTK work).

Bob Peak's "Licence Revoked" poster (Hah! "LTK" work indeed! Caught you in a
mistook!) has got to be the coolest piece of James Bond artwork ever
produced.

Here's a publicly-made challenge to the IFF: Acquire said artwork and make
prints available. *That* would make my forty-five bucks worth more than one
issue of "Goldeneye."

I second that motion - and extend it out to Lee Pfeiffer over at
SpyGuise - or even to the good folks at MGM licensing. Or any aspiring
capitalist exploitationist.

Well, I third it then. That really was a terriffic design. And, Paul, you're
one lucky bastard for owning that TLD poster. That's one of my very favorite
Bond posters, but searching high and low, I've never been able to find it
anywhere. :( It was definitely the last classic, and I wish they'd go back to
that style.
