The Art of FBFO: part 9

The Art of FBFO: part 9

Every month, the For Bond Fans Only Facebook group asks members to vote for a Bond-related topic/theme to celebrate and discuss in depth. For instance, FBFO may spotlight one of the actors, a specific film in the series, a character, a novel/short story, etc.

Anything is up for suggestion, by any member... but there's a twist. You see, FBFO has an affectionate streak of sardonic humour running throughout it, very much like Bond himself, so there is only one caveat: all suggestions have to be pun-tastic! This is demonstrated by the gems (and groaners) below.

Since February 2020, FBFO's very own Chris Smith has produced the artwork banner images for these monthly, pun-embracing, celebrations. Collated below are his designs for the first 3/4 of 2023. Enjoy. 

January 2023: "Tanuary"

Theme: those Bond locations to work your tan.

February 2023: "Webbruary" 

Theme: villains' disfigurements, which controversially continue to this day.

March 2023: "M-Arch Nemesis" 

Theme: Bond villains that are like the ornament on top of the Christmas tree.

April 2023: "Licence to April" 

Theme: the darkest Bond film in sunny spring: LTK (spot the error).

May 2023: "Die Another May" 

Theme: possible the most ludicrous Bond (but there's still Moonraker).

June 2023: "CartJune" 

July 2023: "Ju-thigh"

Theme: legs!

August 2023: "Morgue-ust" 

Theme: "Names is for tombstones, baby!"

September 2023: "SepKenber" 

Theme: the genius of Ken Adam.

The Art of FBFO will return.

Chris Smith

Chris, from Essex, has been in love with Bond since he was 13 years old. He's now one of FBFO's awfully talented graphic designers.
