John Beatty: The Expendables

Craig / / 2010, Craig's Sly Art, Expendables

The art above was created by my brother from another mother, John Beatty at our second annual Black “Stallone” Friday.  Last year Big Beatty decided to create a new piece for my Stallone art collection live on U-Stream. This allowed Stallone fans as well as fans of John’s art to watch and interact with us live as John created the piece.  We called it “Black Stallone Friday” and had a blast.

This year, John decided to sweeten the pot with a free, Expendables Blu-Ray giveaway.  We fired up the Beattytron and began broadcasting from the beautiful JBI Studio in downtown Holly Hill a little before 2pm.  The show ran until 9pm — and John still had more to do on the piece.  Along the way we were joined by Shana, Sophie, Mike aka Killer Karl Krupp, Royce, Rob Smith Jr., The Mad Pirate, Husky Courdoroy, and others.  Shana was the lucky winner of the DVD set.

I can’t thank John enough for the art.  As great as it looks on screen, it is even more impressive in person.  John set the bar high and surpassed all expectations.

Black “Stallone” Friday

Craig / / 2010, Craig's Sly Art

The poster above was created by my buddy, John Beatty to announce our second annual Black “Stallone” Friday.  As most of you are probably aware, the day after Thanksgiving is traditionally a day of shopping.  For many businesses it’s their biggest day of the year.  For those of us who don’t like crowds and traffic, it’s a pain.  So last year Big Beatty decided to create a new piece for my Stallone art collection live on U-Stream.  This allowed Stallone fans as well as fans of John’s art to watch and interact with us live as John created the piece.

We called it “Black Stallone Friday” and had a blast.  We had so much fun that we decided to make it an annual event.  So this Friday, we’re going to do it again.  John and I will post the specifics later this week, but our hope is that we can get a lot of folks to tune in, even if only for a bit.  The more fans that pop in with questions and comments, the more fun it becomes.  So check back here or at John’s site later this week for full details.  Oh, and I posted the art from last year’s event to give you an idea of what we can expect this year.

Although it’s too early to announce all the Stallone projects planned, and there are several, I can say that Expendables fans will be happy.
