LIFE Special Edition Tribute: “Rocky”: Underdog. Fighter. Champion.

Life has put out a Rocky tribute magazine that is not to be missed!  I just got mine and can’t wait to dig in.

Rocky Balboa, the underdog palooka who boxed his way to box office super-success, burst into popular culture in 1976. Now 45 years later, “Yo, Adrian” has joined the very short list of very short quotes that are instantly identifiable with a classic character from a classic film. Tourists still run the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Marching bands play “Gonna Fly Now” as halftime entertainment. High school football teams get crazy-eyed to “Eye of the Tiger.” LIFE: Rocky looks back the story conceived by actor and writer Sylvester Stallone – and the iconic 8-film franchise it has become – and celebrates Rocky’s friends, his foes, his fights and the songs and scenes that endure today. Please note that this product is an authorized edition published by the Meredith Corporation and sold by Amazon. This edition is printed using a high quality matte interior paper and printed on demand for immediate fulfillment.

LIFE Rocky: Underdog. Fighter. Champion. is available for order now.

Amazing Rocky Painting by Brian Stelfreeze!

Brian Stelfreeze created this amazing painting of Sly Stallone as Rocky.  I was hoping to make it on Brian’s commission list at the Heroes Giant-Size MiniCon.  Not only was I lucky enough to make the list, but Brian was into the idea of creating some Rocky art.  He surpassed all of my expectations (which were high since it was Brian Stelfreeze doing the art).

For those just learning about Brian Stelfreeze, he is one of the most amazing artists working today. He can do it all… pencil, ink, color, design. I have never seen a bad piece by Brian. Yet, he is one of the most humble, approachable and appreciative artists you’ll ever meet. This is my third piece by Mr. Stelfreeze. [You can see my first here and my second here.]

“Rocky & Adrian” by Mathieu Noiseux!

Once a week Joblo.com posts Awesome Art We’ve Found Around the Net.  As you can imagine, they post awesome art that they, well, you get the idea.

I enjoy seeing what JoBlo finds because they list the artist’s name and a link to more of his/her art.  Click the links and you’ll discover amazing artists like Mathieu Noiseux, aka Noise, who did the Rocky piece above.
