With only a week to go until the release of 'Tinker Tailor Solider Spy' in cinemas I've decided to produce my own alternative movie poster to celebrate one of the most anticipated movies of 2011. As spy movies are all about intrigue and mystery, I decided to add a subtle visual mystery of my own to the design. Hopefully if you look closely you will see what I mean, but it may not be too obvious at first glance!
The guys over at heyuguys.co.uk have an exclusive preview of the 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' poster on their website since Friday afternoon but you can now it below by scolling down the page.
The plan is to release a limited batch of prints (either 10,25 or 50), hand signed and numbered, but it all depends on if there is a demand for it, so if you are interested, leave a comment here, drop me a tweet @davewi11 or leave a comment on the post over at heyuguys.co.uk.

Best fictional spy in my opinion..... Jack Ryan. Alec Baldwin played him cool and nervous, Harrison Ford had him determined yet weary and Ben Affleck managed to not spoil the character and even injected some intelligence. But you can't beat Harrison.
ReplyDeleteThe best fictional spy is Charles Bartowski from the NBC show Chuck. He's smart, funny, clever, and has a government database stored in his head, so he can quickly identify and solve a situation.
ReplyDeleteAlicia Huberman (Ingrid Bergman) in Hitchcock's Notorious is my favorite (for today) spy in cinema. She is a drunk, she is commited to defeating the Nazis, and she is gorgeous. What could be better? -C.L. Branch @boriskrunch
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments so far, please do feel free to RT the message and spread the word :)
ReplyDeleteDerek Flint (James Coburn) RE: In Like Flint, Out Man Flint, etc. (Really showing my age) Of course, no one did Bond like Sir Sean Connery. (from Tim V.)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite to look at would defo be Sydney Bristow from Alias. My favorite to want to be myself...Bond, James Bond.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite spy is Harry Palmer....and not a lot of people know that....
ReplyDeleteThis poster is awesome!! My favourite spy is by far Nikita in the original 1990 "la femme nikita" Are these available to pick up as I am in Liverpool as well
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff everyone, keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes alameals, Im sure we could arrange a pick up seeing as though you are based so closely so if you dont win then feel free to buy a print and we can arrange that.
Jason Bourne
ReplyDeleteHis no nonsense attitude and outstanding determination for both
knowledge and justice ensure he deserves a strong mention.
Gadget-less and without support, he demonstrated intelligence,
strength and resolve all in equal measure. No frills, simply Bourne...
Oh, and he was the blueprint for Bond finally taking a new direction.

Bill Murray in 'The Man Who Knew Too Little' is the best film spy ever! Even though he never actually was a spy! I've already purchased a poster but have ideas for uses if I win another :)
ReplyDeleteGary Oldman - I brushed shoulders with him while being a background artist in this film.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all the comments guys!
ReplyDeleteAnd wow@Jack, Im very jealous, it must have been a brilliant experience to be involved in such a great movie.
Frank Drebben...
ReplyDeletejust the name makes you smile...
Thanks for all the comments guys, Ill pick a winner at random and announce it here and on twitter in a few minutes.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Jack Trot who was picked at random thanks to one of my twitter followers! Please get in touch Jack with your details so I can send you the poster.
ReplyDeleteTo everyone else who entered, thanks so much, I do really appreciate it, sorry not everyone could win, but if you are still interested in the print I do have a couple of posters left that you can buy with the paypal button above.
Cheers
Dave
I think anyone who chooses Bond isn't going to win but I have to go with the father of all spies. You have your choice of actor, it's a legacy that will never die and has spawn fantastic references and satire throughout history. Bourne? XXX? Nobody comes even remotely close. Sorry.
