Eric Newsom’s Rocky

Craig / / Fan Art

I met Eric Newsom at this year’s Heroes Con. He introduced himself to me and said that he visited the SZ regularly and had created a drawing of Sly as Machine Gun Joe from “Death Race 2000” that he wanted to send to me. We talked for a few minutes and I gave Eric my address and that was the last I heard from him until earlier this week. Eric wrote to say that he returned home to find the drawing had accidentally thrown out so he went back to the drawing board to create THIS as well as the computer colored piece above. Well, come to find out, Eric not only creates art, but collects it as well. Eric runs the very cool The Question website which features drawings and a whole lot more about, you guessed it, The Question.

Thanks to Eric for sharing his talents with us! – Craig

The three-meter high statue of Sylvester Stallone in the role of Rocky, made by a Croatian sculptor, was revealed late Saturday in the centre of Zitiste. The idea to build a statue came to a village inhabitant in February who said he wanted to pay tribute to his favourite hero after seeing the sixth and latest “Rocky” movie.

The village of Zitiste has repeatedly suffered heavy flooding, gaining a disaster-prone reputation. Fed up, the locals started contemplating how to change that image and revive the village, which is one of the poorest in northern Serbia, and decided to erect statue of Rocky Balboa, similar to one in Philadelphia, PA, USA, where a monument to the actor Sylvester Stallone‘s film character already exists.
