Ian Fleming's popular James Bond books receive a chromatic watercolor-like makeover thanks to artist and illustrator Michel Gillette. These newly designed book covers showcase the sultry Bond girls in technicolor flesh tones with the title of the novel printed along their backsides.
Gillette's Bond book covers focus on the most eye-catching part of the James Bond series -- the Bond girls. These stunning and breathtaking women are often the stars of the novels and films thanks to their charming good looks and seductive personas. The covers showcase the various Bond girls painted in a lifelike and retro manner with a singular unconventional color hue such as blue, orange or pink. Many of the girls are illustrated wearing revealing clothing so the title of the book fits perfectly along their bare backside.
