Ron Salas’ “Expendable”
This is my fourth Stallone sketch by Ron Salas. Obviously I’m a huge fan of his work. Of course when he does pieces like his take on Sly from “The Expendables” who wouldn’t be? You can check out more of Ron’s art here and here.
Nice Sly Interview

Antonio Tarver Sues
Antonio Tarver, who played Mason Dixon in “Rocky Balboa”, has filed a lawsuit against Rogue Marble Productions [Sly’s company], Columbia Pictures Industries, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Revolution Studios Distribution Co. with the claim that he has not been paid $1.5 million in bonuses owed him. It is Tarver’s contention that he is owed six bonuses based upon the movie’s gross of a reported $191 million dollars.
Sly’s attorney, Marty Singer, counters that Antonio Tarver is not owed any money. Singer explained to TMZ:
“On the first day of principal photography of ‘Rocky Balboa,’ Antonio Tarver, who had already reached an agreement for his appearance in the movie, refused to appear unless he received a back-end deal. He knew that if the production company did not cave in to his demands and give him a back-end deal, the motion picture would have to be shut down.
As such, Mr. Tarver received notice a few weeks ago that he had engaged in duress, among other claims, and that he had no right to receive any back-end on the motion picture due to his alleged duress.”
