Jesse Munoz is back with his riff on Rocky. I discovered Jesse though his DA site and his website. This is my second Stallone piece by Jesse. You can see the first, Rambo, here. I’ll show you the others soon. Until then, why not check out Jesse’s sites?
On Febraury 9, 2011, Jimmy Orr at the Los Angeles TImes explained why Sylvester Stallone is the Ultimate Motivator.
On February 9, 2011, ChicagoNow.com posted Ranking the Rocky Movies by Kyle Trompeter. While I don’t agree with Kyle’s rankings, he does make a good case for each choice… and there is a surprise or two in his list.
And for the record, here is how I rank them:
1. Rocky and Rocky Balboa. {Perfect bookends to the series]
2. Rocky III
3. Rocky II [Depending on my mood sometimes I flip positions on II and IV]
4. Rocky IV
5. Rocky V [While many fans really dislike Rocky V, I am thankful that because of it we got Rocky Balboa]

I’m a fan of Jesse Munoz’s art. I discovered him though his DA site and then a web search to his website. Recently Jesse ran a contest where the person who could send him a screenshot of his DA site the closest to hitting the 25,000 page view mark would win a 3 card sketch set.
I watched as the days went by and the hits got closer to 25,000. I hoped to be around when the number was hit. I had been sick with a bronchial infection and woke up in the middle of the night coughing. I decided to get up and check my e-mail. Then I decided to check in on Jesse’s site. Guess what page view number I landed on? Unreal.
Jesse came through in flying colors with three cool Stallone themed cards. This Rambo piece is the first. I’ll show you the other two soon. Until then, why not visit Jesse’s sites and show him some love?
Long time SZoner, Waldemar Delgado aka Wally Stallone sent in these photos of Sly taken a few years ago when he was in Mexico to promote Spy Kids 3D and to appear on the tv show Big Brother. Thanks to Wally for sharing! – Craig
