My buddy, John Beatty turned me on to Derek Fridolf’s artwork. I was visting John and he handed me Derek’s latest sketchbook. I was instantly into the art. I said to John that I bet that Derek could do a pretty cool Stallone. Beatty laughed and handed me the sketch above. I was floored.
Derek offers a free headsketch with every sketchbook purchased. John wanted the sketchbook, but doesn’t collect art. So he asked Derek to do a Stallone piece that he would give to me. Derek agreed and created his very cool take on Rambo. You can check out more of Derek’s work here. And of course John Beatty can be found here and here.
Thanks to Derek and John.
