The #1 Sylvester Stallone Fan Site in the World!
I meant to get the photo up last weekend and time ran out. Then this weekend I almost forgot. The photo above came with the e-mail below…
Hi Craig,

If you think it’s good news , please write about on stallonezone.com.
BTW you doing great job.

Cully Hamner was the first artist I approached when I started getting sketches again. Cully was up for the task and was so cool about it (and did such a bang-up job) that I can’t think of a better artist to start me down the path of collecting art again.
The nice folks at Fetch Publicity sent along the Sylvester Stallone infographic above with a reminder for our UK SZoners that Escape Plan goes on sale tomorrow!
If you’d like to see a larger version of the Sly Stallone infographic you can here!

Here’s your Rocky Broadway news for the week…
I’ve been a fan of David “Brohawk” Williams’ art from the moment I first laid eyes on it. Most folks become fans that quickly because Brohawk is THAT great.
When I had a chance to meet David at HeroesCon in 2012, I was thrilled when he agreed to do a Stallone Rambo sketch for me. Awesome, isn’t it? And that’s just from a photo. The actual art is too big for my scanner!

On March 2, 2014, Complex Art+Design posted 20 Oscar Nominees and Winners Who Paint. Here’s what they had to say about Sly…
Nomination: Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Writing for a Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen, Rocky (1977)
Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone is not only praised for his awesome performance in the 1976 film Rocky, but he is unexpectedly an artist greatly influenced by abstract expressionism. Evidently, he had been producing art since the 1960s, even before he began acting. Basically, he went from boxing in the ring to revealing striking, intense paintings in an exhibition at the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. Rocky is a man of many talents!
Jeremy Treece has created art for comic books, trading cards, animation and independent films. Last week I posted Treece’s take on Sly Stallone.
Today I want to share the quickie sketch that Jeremy drew on one of the backing boards sent to protect the art. Gotta love it!
You can see more of Jeremy’s art here… and hopefully again here at the SZ in the future.
