Hi Craig,
I wanted to show you some Sly art I have on Ebay. There are 2 original studies from 1990 and another one I sold from Rocky 4 I hope you can post on your update for next week:
Bill, I think that it’s great that fans will get an opprotunity to purchase an original from you. Hopefully a ZONER will win the auction!
If you’d like to see more of Bill‘s work you can. Simply click HERE and tell him I sent you! – Craig
Our POW [Picture of the Week] of Sly comes to us from my collection. It’s a rare shot from Sly as Hatch from Victory.
I’ve always been surprised that when I talk to folks who aren’t really big Sly fans, that almost all of them always mention how much they liked him in Victory.

I just got back into town from a quick weekend trip and I’m beat. I apologize that the update isn’t bigger. If I get a chance I’ll post more before next weekend. If not, expect a great update next weekend… pics of the new Rocky toys… more art… and more news.

Our POW [Picture of the Week] of Sly comes to us from my collection. It’s a rare shot from Sly during the filming of Nightrhawks.
I can remember that one of the complaints about Nighthawks was that it dealt with terrorists in the US and some people felt that just couldn’t happen.

Hi Craig,
I wanted to send these paintings I did exactly 20 years ago right around when Rocky IV was out. The boxing ring was done in early ’86 and the other was done in late ’86. I had only been painting in oils for about a year at this time but not seriously yet since I was still in school. I’ve obviously come a long way since then. – Bill
Bill, you were an amazing artist then, and continue to astound us with your talent. Thanks for sharing!

I don’t know why, but this picture made me think how cool it would be to see a shot of Rocky after a tough fight, looking like he had been in a war, standing in front of a poster advertising the bout.

Gerardo Moreno checks in to the SZ from time to time with some of the nicest Stallone art that you’ll find anywhere.
Gerardo sent me an e-mail saying that the two pieces of art shown below were sent to the SZ, to share with Stallone fans worldwide. That’s got to be the best Rocky VI teaser yet!

Samuel Hiti is a 30-year-old artist, who made his graphic novel debut in New York with his Xeric Award-winning “End Times/Tiempos Finales.”
One of the biggest buzz books of 2004, Mike Mignola, creator of the cult favorite “Hellboy,” said it was the best graphic novel of the year; and Samuel was nominated for “Best New Talent” for the 2005 Harvey Awards. Samuel has worked for major companies such as Nike, The New York Times, Disney, and adapted The 2004 Paramount/Dreamworks movie of “Lemony Snicke t- SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS” into comic book form for Nickelodeon magazine.
I discovered Samuel’s site while surfing the web. While enjoying Samuel‘s art, I also learned that he’s a Rambo fan. Samuel recently drew a scene from Rambo and had so much fun with it, that he now does a Rambo Quote of the Week. Samuel graciously agreed to me posting a couple of examples here on the SZ.
