“First Blood” Makes the List

Beliefnet.com lists “Ten Military Movies to Celebrate Memorial Day” and “First Blood” makes the cut.  Here’s what they had to say:

“First Blood” (1982): This movie featured no war footage and, in fact, was set entirely in a little Northwest town. But it told the tale of Vietnam vets after they came home and illustrated the unfairly rough journey so many of them had to face. And Sly Stallone was both believable and restrained as a war hero who won sympathy for a generation of those who lived his on-screen fate.

Dan Panosian’s Jack Carter

Dan Panosian gifted me with this Jack Carter drawing at the recent FX ShowDan is a Stallone fan and decided on “Get Carter” with no prompting from me.  I love Dan’s work, so to get a piece from him was a thrill.  I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Check out more of Dan’s art here and here.  Plan to spend some time, because everything he draws is worth a look!
