dready aston martin db5 with marek reichman as james bond – 28×17
original remarque on canvas
marek reichman is the evp of design at aston martin
bond and jamaica go way back and so does my family, in the vaguest sense – my great uncle reggie, a law agent in highgate, found and dealt with the sale of the land for goldeneye and the building of the house on behalf of ian fleming – and so as part of a solo show in jamaica I had drawn the ‘dready’ bond version of this … the theme for the show, in my head, had been this cross over of art and advertising and so had done a series of ‘movie poster’ size dreadys.
dready has this vibe of a mash-up between poster and pop art anyhow if they had a baby who was a west indian comedian …
… and at the same time I was doing this I had drawn the bond version to insert into another piece of art for a bond fan.
in the end than, marek is a remarque of 2 other ideas … same vibe but different vibe, different sky … i like the night sky …
coolness …
