Ron Salas’ Jack Carter

Craig / / 2007, Craig's Sly Art

Ron Salas is an extremely talented artist. He is a t-shirt designer whose work can be seen in Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe, Yosemite National Park and other places including his website. Speaking of his website, it’s where I discovered his work and is a regular stop on my internet excursions.

Ron was at the recent OrlandoCon and I was fortunate enough to get on his sketch list. He can through with Jack Carter and I couldn’t be happier. Post a comment on Ron’s site if you’re interested in a commission. His prices are right and his talent is obvious!

Sly is Superman by Alex Saviuk

Craig / / 2007, Craig's Sly Art
Alex Saviuk, perhaps best known for his work with Stan Lee on The Amazing Spider-Man newspaper strip first studied at Will Eisner’s School of Visual Arts. He entered the realm of professional comics by landing at DC on such projects as Superman, Green Lantern and The Flash. From there it was on to Marvel and a long run on various Spider-Man comics. Since leaving Marvel, Alex has worked on the X-Files comic, The Spider-Man newspaper strip, The Phantom, as well as advertising and storyboards for motion pictures.

Alex chose to draw Sly as Superman and I love the result. Alex is a big movie fan, and he knew that Sly had been in the running for the lead role. If you ever get to meet Alex ask him to SHOW you why that wouldn’t have worked out so well!

Alex is available for commissions. He can be reached at actionart2004@yahoo.com — tell him I sent ya! – Craig

Sly: Witnessed Myanmar Genocide

Craig / / 2007, John Rambo
In an article posted today by the Associated Press, Sylvester Stallone says that he and his crew were witness to horrible atrocities while filming “John Rambo”.

Sly goes on to say, “This is a hellhole beyond your wildest dreams… I witnessed the aftermath — survivors with legs cut off and all kinds of land mine injuries, maggot-infested wounds and ears cut off. We saw many elephants with blown off legs. We hear about Vietnam and Cambodia and this was more horrific.”

Sly chose the location of Thailand and Myanmar [formerly known as Burma] for the location of his latest Rambo adventure because it had been identified as “the foremost area of human abuse on the planet”. Sly made his feelings clear about the situation when he said, “The Burmese are beautiful people. It’s the military I am portraying as cruel.”

Sly is currently editing “John Rambo” for an early 2008 release. You can read the full article by clicking HERE. – Craig
