Screenshot of joribolton.com, showing illustration by Jori Bolton, with thumbnails of illustrations on the left and featured recent illustrations on the right along with descriptions of the artwork. Top right shows four spot illustrations of people with giant props involved the manufacture of denim, which were drawn for Luca Faloni, and beneath that is an illustration of Bob Iger straining under the weight of a massive Mickey Mouse head, which was drawn for The Hollywood Reporter.

I'm thrilled to share @marcaspinall.bsky.social's incredible cover art for my book, SEX FOR DINNER, DEATH FOR BREAKFAST!! The full hardcover wraparound is just brilliant. Action! Seduction! Danger! Marc, I am so very grateful. Watch for this one, coming soon. #jamesbond #coverreveal #booksky

Haha! Hey I’m glad such a crop could elicit such a reaction - gives me confidence about the whole piece :-D I’m being very selective with the amount of detail in the piece therefore it’s got to be ‘right’
