The #1 Sylvester Stallone Fan Site in the World!
This week we have Jack Carter as realized 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 the Jack Carter above and a Rambo which will be posted in a few weeks. Tom still draws regularly on UStream and it’s always fun watching him go at it.
On December 26, 2009, The Daily Mail posted the photo above of Sly and “Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere at the Lakers’ game from the day before. You can read the whole article by clicking here.

This week we have Dave Wachter’s take on Sly as Cosmo Carboni from “Paradise Alley”. I’d never seen Dave’s art until this year at HeroesCon. I immediately got on board for the sketch above. Since then I’ve picked up two more small pieces from Dave. He’s talented and very reasonably priced. You can see more of Dave’s art at his site. Plan to spend a while!
I received an e-mail from SZoner, Herve Attia, who has impressed fans with his talent and dedication to re-visiting all of the locations used in filming “First Blood”. Here’s what Herve had to say:
Dear Craig,
“On The Set of First Blood Part 4 – VC Commander” has been released today. It can be watched at this link. This is probably the final installment. I guess we have covered all the relevant First Blood filming locations. It has been fun to make.
Thanks again Herve for sharing your talent with us. Also a special thanks for making the StalloneZone a small part of the video! Thanks also to Raven! – Craig
I received an e-mail from Bill Pruitt saying that fellow artist and friend, Michael Joseph, passed away on December 8th at the age of 43. Michael’s art had appeared on the StalloneZone before and received a lot of praise. Bill thought that SZoners would want to know. Here’s a link to Michael Joseph’s site. He was a talented man and will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and fans. – Craig
Over at the AMC Movie Blog they recently posted their choices for the TOP TEN EVIL PRISON WARDENS. Guess who made the list at #3:
3. Warden Drumgoole (Donald Sutherland), Lock Up (1989): Drumgoole takes the phrase “hard time” literally and is determined to make inmate Sylvester Stallone suffer.
You can check out the complete list here.
I discovered Andy Kuhn’s art through his blog. This led me to his DA site. Andy has a unique style which I totally enjoy. I was lucky enough to meet and get the sketch above from Andy earlier this year. Although it was our first meeting and my first sketch from Andy, hopefully it won’t be my last!
Miguel Insignares is back with a new e-mail and another cool scene from a Stallone movie. Miguel says:
Hey Craig-
Here is a new StalloneZone world exclusive ROCKY drawing from the first fight with Spider Rico at the Resurrection Gym.
Thanks and I’ll be sending you more artwork in the upcoming weeks!
Miguel — thanks for sharing your Stallone art here at the SZ. You picked another cool scene to illustrate. I can’t wait to see more of your Stallone art here at the SZ as well as your The Rufnex: Island of the Dead comic [www.islandofthedead.com.
