The #1 Sylvester Stallone Fan Site in the World!
Gene Gonzales did this quick sketch of Sly as Ray Tango from “Tango and Cash” as a bonus for buying his new sketchbook. He offers this deal to anyone picking up a copy, so check out Gene’s art and if you like what you see put in your order. You won’t be disappointed.
SZoner, “Joe Tanto Hummer” sent in a bunch of pictures that he had taken, over the years, of his visits to Stallone movie premieres, Planet Hollywood openings, and the like. Unfortunately most of the pictures were taken without a flash at night or had glare or something that prevented them from being used. We did want to share these EXCLUSIVE pics from Joe.
This is a cool candid that Tanto picked up of Sly and one of his paintings.
Here’s a shot of Sly and Jen at a 1995 Planet Hollywood opening.
Tanto wanted to be sure that we all got to see this building-sized poster for Tango and Cash!
Thanks to Joe for sharing! – Craig Zablo [September 28, 2002]
