Audrey Hepburn stamps fetch $606,000 for charity
BERLIN – A rare sheet of 10 stamps depicting Audrey Hepburn fetched euro430,000 ($606,000) at a charity auction in Berlin, two-thirds of which will go to help educate children in sub-Saharan Africa.
The mint-condition sheet of 10 stamps featuring Hepburn, a coy smile on her face and a long, black cigarette holder dangling from her lips, brought a profitable outcome to a botched stamp series that should have been destroyed years ago — and evokes Hepburn’s starring role in the 1963 thriller “Charade,” in which the characters chase a set of rare stamps.

A great Bob Peak post on the blog “Today’s Inspiration”. Very nice selection of images focusing on the fashion and advertising of Bob’s early and mid career.

In Like Flint
In Like Flint, movie poster key art by Bob Peak
I remember my dad working on this when I was a little kid. A little kid but old enough to know what was cool! I never look at this art and not feel the same as when I did as a little boy, “Wow dad! that’s cool”

Modesty Blaise
Modesty Blaise movie poster by Bob Peak
During the 1960′s and early 70′s Bob Peak produced artwork for several movie posters with “MOD” or “psychedelic” flavor, among them was Modesty Blaise. Others included Our Man Flint, In Like Flint, and Koleidoscope. While not in the “psychedelic” edge, you could also include Funny Girl, and Thoroughly Modern Milly. You can also see the connection in Bob Peak’s James Bond 007 movie poster The Spy Who Loved Me.
*Modesty Blaise was a comedic spy-fi motion picture produced in the United Kingdom and released worldwide in 1966. Continue reading “Modesty Blaise” »
