Doug Dabbs Knows Jack

Craig / / 2012, Craig's Sly Art, Get Carter


Doug Dabbs makes his first, but not last, appearance in our Stallonezone Gallery.  I first met Doug in 2011 at Heroes Con.  I was heading out from the show and saw his art.  If there had been time, I’d have got a sketch on the spot.

I told Doug I would get a piece from him in 2012 and I did.  Two in fact.  This piece is Doug’s take on Sly as an older, but still tough, Jack Carter.  He also did an equally cool riff on Barney Ross from The Expendables. I’ll post it soon.    – Craig

Bring Rocky Home for the Holidays

Craig / / 2012, Rocky 3

Hey SZoners! The holidays are quickly approaching and I wanted to remind everyone that Rocky sculptures are still available through A. Thomas Schomberg studios.  These statues were created by Mr. Schomberg [who created the original Rocky sculpture seen in the Rocky movies] in collaboration with Sylvester Stallone and MGM studios. 

The Schombergs are running their Holiday Special once again!  They are slowly but surely selling out of the 20″ ROCKY Bronze Plated Sculptures and want to offer collectors a chance to purchase one of the selected few ROCKYs that will be personally signed by Tom.  They will run this offer now, through the Holidays into mid January.  The price will be $395 and shipping will be free within the USA.

I was fortunate to get to interview Mr. Schomberg for the StalloneZone a couple of years ago.  For those who may have missed it, here’s my interview with Mr. Schomberg. [part two of the interview is here] for the SZ.

Remember, if you purchases a statue, I’d love to post a picture of you with it on the StalloneZone! – Craig

Stallone’s Big Ideas for Expendables 3…

Craig / / 2012, Expendables 3


On November 17, 2012, Bleeding Cool posted: Stallone’s Big Ideas for Expendables 3…  Here are a couple of tidbits:

  • “The Expendables… they’re broken up, they’re shot, they’ve had it, they’re done. We have to hire new us, we have to find new Expendables, but there are none! They don’t make people like us anymore; they are all like robots. So I can go out and hire five young guys, but they’re the new army, they got drones and technology, but they’re not like us. Remember in Tropic Thunder? Just like those guys!”


  • “There’s another combination, and it involves girlfriends. Say I got divorced, say I am married to Sigourney Weaver, then she gets half the Expendables, she gets what I call The Expendabelles. So I need help and I have to go to her. And I’d like to have like Michelle Rodriguez, Gina Carano. It’ll be something like that, very different.”
