This week we have Sly as Rambo by Tom Hodges.  I discovered Tom’s art through his DA site and then last August, Tom had a 24 Hour Draw-A-Thon live on UStream.  I got on board and commissioned a sketch of Jack Carter and this Rambo.  Tom still draws regularly on UStream and it’s always fun watching him go at it.

I received word from Sly’s personal assistant who asked me to pass on that REALSLYSTALLONE on Twitter is NOT Sly.  So SZoners, don’t be fooled! - Craig

On February 3, 2010, Top Speed.com posted a piece called Sylvester Stallone Shows Off His New Hendrick 25th Anniversary Camaro.  The post features five photos of Sly and the camero [as well as a  couple with Jason Statham].

Derek Fridolfs offers a free headsketch with every sketchbook purchased through his website. I own three pieces by Derek and am looking forward to more.  I picked up Derek’s take on Sly as Cosmo Carboni from “Paradise Alley” at last year’s Heroes Con.

Sylvestor Stallone- The Rocky star is a painter! Can you imagine that? No for sure but he has exhibited his talent in painting off late at Art Basel Miami Beach, Florida. He says “painting is all you do. It either soars or it crashes.” Now that was certainly hiding behind macho man for years!
