| Leonie Wharton at her favorite coffee house Black Swan Yard Coffee, London |
Last Wednesday in the blog you are reading at the moment, we reposted from the Internet an article by HomeAdvisor showcasing “The Architecture of James Bond.”
Quite a creative accomplishment by HomeAdvisor. The 50 buildings were selected from all 25 James Bond films.
The following is a question and answer session with Leonie Wharton, a young artist, who was commissioned to illustrate the structures from each Bond flick. Impressive.
As you see (above) she is working while visiting one of her favorite London coffee houses.

Q. You’re obviously multi-faceted tell us more about your three favored fortes:
A: ILLUSTRATION - I help both new and existing brands form a visual identity through illustration. My editorial illustration brings the written word to life, whether for a formal article or light-hearted conversation piece. As well as working for commercial clients I also take on private commissions and produce my own products for sale.
A: GRAPHIC DESIGN - I previously worked for 11 years at content marketing agency Distilled, where I designed creative campaigns including tools, games, interactive visualisations, long format articles, PR stunts and photo story content. My time at Distilled was split between idea generation, design and production.
A: FINE ART - My painting style is photorealistic. I have created a range of watercolour wildlife paintings, which are available to purchase as prints. I take on private watercolour commissions including pets, homes, people portraiture and wedding invitations.
