The BBC News posted photos of stars in attendance at the recent Calzaghe/Hopkins fight. Here’s what they said about Sly: “Sylvester Stallone, another screen action hero, was ringside for Calzaghe’s real-life lesson on what it takes to be a boxing champ.” You can see the full report HERE. – Craig

Evan Bryce & Rambo

Remember me talking about artist, Evan Bryce? Well, not only is he a fantastic artist, but he’s a really generous guy as well. He recently gifted me with the Rambo drawing above! [And while he was at it, he threw in this piece as well.]
You can check out more of Evan’s work here. Tell him I sent ya… and see about a commission for yourself! – Craig

Joe Pekar is probably best known for drawing pretty girls, but that just scratches the surface of his talent. I first met Joe through his website and then at conventions. We’d talked about him doing a Stallone piece for a while and recently the time was right. Joe cooked up his take on a classic scene from “Nighthawks.” Thanks to Joe! – Craig
