Rocky Helps Keep the Faith
Hey Craig,
I thought I would show you some work I had done over the weekend. 2nd Timothy 4:7 has always been on of my favorite verses so I had an amazing tattoo artist named Noah Minuskin combine two of my favorite things.
Hope you are well.
Cheers,
Ron Robledo
Hey Ron, THAT is some cool ink! – Craig

SZoner, Manuel Scholtz wanted to share his new Rambo painting with us. I’m glad he did!
Felice Cantatore & the Rocky Spirit
Felice Cantatore is a long time Sly Stallone fan who, like many SZoners, has found inspiration from the Rocky movies that has carried over to his life. Felice was an extra on the set of Rocky Balboa and later wrote an article about the experience. His article earned Felice a Press Club of Long Island (PCLI) First-Place journalism award for Best Arts Story.
Much like SZoner, Mike Kunda [Cue the Rocky Music], Felice saw many coincidences/connections to the Rocky films and a belief that if you have the “Rocky Spirit” nothing is impossible. Felice has written Rocky Spirit to inspire others! – Craig
