Rocky and Mickey by Shawn Surface

Today we have Sly as Rocky with Burgess Meredith as Mickey drawn by Shawn Surface.   The scan doesn’t nearly come close to doing this piece justice — it doesn’t show all of the art and the contrast is off. 

Shawn is an all-around nice guy and his art should be getting more attention. So why not check out his site and give him some love?


David “Brohawk” Williams Takes on Rambo

I’ve been a fan of David “Brohawk” Williams’ art from the moment I first laid eyes on it.  Most folks become fans that quickly because Brohawk is THAT great.  

When I had a chance to meet David at HeroesCon in 2012, I was thrilled when he agreed to do a Stallone Rambo sketch for me.  Awesome, isn’t it?  And that’s just from a photo.  The actual art is too big for my scanner!

Thomas Boatwright’s Rocky Balboa Watercolor

Thomas Boatwright is back again this week [just as promised]!

Thomas recently ran a watercolor sketch sale and I jumped on board for a couple.  Thomas came up with the idea of bookending the Rocky series.  Here is his take on Rocky.  The watercolor above is his riff on Rocky Balboa.  Great idea by Thomas and I love the way the art turned out.

If you’d like to see more of Thomas Boatwright’s art check out his blog and his DA site. Send him some love.

If you get commissions, you should consider a piece from Thomas. He keeps you totally in the loop on his progress, finishes his commissions on or ahead of schedule, has very reasonable prices, is a fantastic artist and always gives you more than you’re expecting!   – Craig
