Offered directly from the private publisher archives of Hallmark Press, Inc., is”Shaken, Not Stirred,” an original, one-of-a-kind acrylic painting on canvas by internationally acclaimed pop artist Michael Godard.

This is not a limited-edition print, giclée, or reproduction.

This is the actual original master painting created by Michael Godard and used by Hallmark Press, Inc. to produce the published limited-edition series.

For collectors seeking an important original work by Godard, this painting offers the unusual combination of original fine Art, cinematic storytelling, and direct provenance from the company that published the edition.

The Artwork – James Bond Meets Michael Godard

“Shaken, Not Stirred” brings the excitement of a classic James Bond action sequence into Michael Godard’s wonderfully mischievous world of olives, martinis, glamorous strawberries, and outrageous adventures.

Against a dramatic nighttime city skyline, an enormous explosion erupts over the waterfront, sending brilliant flames, smoke, and debris across the scene.

In the foreground, Godard’s suave olive secret agent, dressed in a tuxedo, calmly enjoys a martini while accompanied by two glamorous strawberry companions.

Meanwhile, another olive character is sent flying from the dock, adding a hilarious twist to the explosive action.

The contrast between the spectacular explosion and the secret agent’s cool composure perfectly captures Godard’s signature humor.

Danger, romance, martinis, and a little olive espionage—shaken, definitely not stirred!

Godard’s extraordinary use of vivid reds, yellows, and oranges against the deep blues of the waterfront and nighttime skyline creates a visually dramatic composition filled with energy and movement.

The Original Master Painting Behind the Published Edition

What makes this painting especially significant is its role in the publishing history of Michael Godard’s artwork.

Hallmark Press, Inc. owned and published the limited edition directly from this original painting.

The original artwork served as the master image for the collectible giclée edition.

That limited edition has been sold out for many years.
