BOND: Baron Samedi

Uh, better late than never right? So I chose an oddball for this series... ol' Baron Samedi aka The Man Who Cannot Die! from Live and Let Die. Probably one of Bond's goofier adventures, and that's saying something about these movies. I almost did Christopher Walken from A View to a Kill. But the Baron was more fun!

Oddly enough, no one else picked this guy?  I struggled with the background.  I wanted to impress upon the fact that this guy is larger than life and has this intensity about him.

I’m not really a big Bond fan. I remember I had to take my younger brother to Goldeneye when it came out because he was really into those movies. The only Bond I knew was the Timothy Dalton  and the movies in the 80’s so I wasn’t really blown away by those. So this was the reboot or whatever and I wasn’t expecting much, but I did really like Goldeneye. So I was kind of excited that they were going to do new movies, but then the next one stunk so I figured it was all down hill from there. Anyhow I just did a little Goldeneye sketch jam, as a sort of revision or reboot.

003 1/2

This drawing was inspired by my lovely girlfriend.  She has never once seen a James Bond movie but she watched the hell out of the James Bond Jr. cartoon.

I have vague memories of this show.  I remember him skiing a lot and he had similar but more comic booky villains.  But just look at him!  Mullet!  Jeans tucked into his awesome Jordans.  A members only jacket!  The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I was actually surprised to find out that he was based on a book called The Adventures of James Bond Jr. 003 1/2.  Crazy.  I am surprised this hasn't come up more often, I mean how many women has 007 slept with?  Like a million.  Oh he probably has some sort of super secret spy gadget that Q made for him to prevent this from happening.  Can you imagine that scene in a movie?  "Mr. Bond, here is your watch laser capable of cutting through diamonds, your exploding pen and your baby killing death ray.  Bang Bang.  I sense I have gone to far... enjoy!

Scaramanga!

My choice...The Man with the Golden Gun: Francisco Scaramanga! I thought about Jaws, and Odd Job, and even Dr. No...but hey...it's Christopher Lee.

I didn't have a ton of time to commit to the draw blog this week, but I wanted to at least get a sketch out here. Hope you enjoy.

Cheers
