Iconic

For the first time, The Project yesterday achieved what it originally intended to do, or at least attempt: choose a photograph from that day's print media &, on the same day, transcribe a drawing (finished) of that image. Didn't manage to blog it on the same day, but still...


graphite/20x30cm
original source: 'The Times' 2, 07/04/08

The image - not strictly an original photograph, I suppose, but, rather, a reproduction of a film still of a bikini-clad Ursula Andress emerging from the sea during the course of the Bond movie 'Dr No' - was chosen for its iconic status, being used as such on the cover of the 'Times 2' supplement to illustrate a feature inside on the Bond girls & the author Ian Fleming.

Soundtrack:


A Belle & Sebastian extravaganza, featuring
'Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant'
'If You're Feeling Sinister'
& 'The Boy With the Arab Strap'
