“Victory” Scores Again

Craig / / 2015, Victory

On February 7, 2015, The Sunday Express posted their top five soccer films in a piece by Stefan Kyriazis.  Here’s what they said about Escape to Victory:

Escape To Victory (1981)

Bizarre late 1970s teaming of footballing superstars (Pele, Bobby Moore), Hollywood stars (Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone) and Ipswich Town players as a ragtag team of POWs taking on the Nazis in an exhibition match.

Stallone stars as the goalie.

When he asked if he could score the winning goal in the final match, someone had to explain that it wouldn’t really work that way in real life.

A Hollywood remake of the film is on the cards.

Sly Stallone and “The Drawings of Bob Peak”

The Bob Peak drawing above is of Sylvester Stallone from Paradise Alley!

I discovered the piece as part of an advertisement for a new book of Bob Peak drawings being put together by Thomas Peak through Kickstarter. Here’s the book’s description…

“THE DRAWINGS OF BOB PEAK”. This new 160 page oversized soft cover book (14″ x 11″) curated collection of his best drawings is a comprehensive look into a rarely viewed side of Bob Peak with never before seen charcoal, graphite, art marker, pen, ink, pencil, and pastel drawings from the maestro himself. This oversized book will take on the look and feel of the actual artwork with drawings large enough to study and admire the mastery of the artist Bob Peak. A “Collectors Edition” of (100 copies only) is also available. Produced by Art Works Fine Art Publishing which also produced the original “The Art of Bob Peak” book, this new book will be of the same high quality that you expect and I require. I will produce nothing surrounding the legacy of my father Bob Peak that does not meet with the highest standards. I appreciate your support. You will NOT be disappointed.

I’ve backed the project and look forward to getting the book in my mitts. If this sounds like something you’d like, then jump on board!
