Eric Newsom’s Rocky

Craig / / Fan Art

I met Eric Newsom at this year’s Heroes Con. He introduced himself to me and said that he visited the SZ regularly and had created a drawing of Sly as Machine Gun Joe from “Death Race 2000” that he wanted to send to me. We talked for a few minutes and I gave Eric my address and that was the last I heard from him until earlier this week. Eric wrote to say that he returned home to find the drawing had accidentally thrown out so he went back to the drawing board to create THIS as well as the computer colored piece above. Well, come to find out, Eric not only creates art, but collects it as well. Eric runs the very cool The Question website which features drawings and a whole lot more about, you guessed it, The Question.

Thanks to Eric for sharing his talents with us! – Craig

First Blood Video Art

Ernest “Jazzman” Resendes sent in the following:

The current issue (August 2007) of Smithsonian magazine has got a cool write up on artist Takeshi Murata on page 37 and the connection to First Blood …

NOT A HOLLYWOOD SEQUEL American video artist Takeshi Murata mutates footage from B-movies and action flicks, adding techno soundtracks to create hypnotic digital films (2006’s Untitles ( Pink Dot) samples 1982’s Rambo: First Blood). At the Hirshhorn through September 9. Here’s a link the Pink Dot > http://youtube.com/watch?v=d87FaWdj3L0 Have a great one !

Bill Pruitt Checks In

Craig / / 2007, Celebs, Fan Art, Rambo II
SZoner, Bill Pruitt checked in with the cool photo above and this… Hi Craig, Today I got to meet the stunt coordinator for “Rambo First Blood II,“ Diamond Farnsworth. Ironically, I was working on a new “John Rambo” piece at Universal Citywalk when he happened to be up there. He couldn’t have been nicer and was very impressed that I knew who he was. (I’ve only seen him in Rambo II photos when Sly is doing bow and arrow target practice.) He said he taught Sly how to shoot the bow and arrow. Bill
