SZoner, Kevin Libal is a HUGE Sly fan. Kevin has been collecting Sly merchandise since he was 7. These are a few pictures of his collection. Thanks to Kevin for sharing! – Craig

PS – I noticed Kevin has one of the great Schomberg Rocky statues! We will be running an interview with Mr. Schomberg in a few weeks. You still have time to get in questions if you post them HERE.

SZoner, Bill Pruitt has created another painting that fans are going to love! Here’s what he has to say:

Hi Craig,
I wanted to submit this new oil painting from Rocky V. I re-did an old painting and made it much better by combining the 2 photos below. Look for the hidden name “SLY” in it somewhere.

Bill
p.s. also prints are available of it and others on ebay.

SZoner, Hein, sent in the two pics and this:

Hello Craig,

I am a Sylvester Stallone fan from the Netherlands and a few weeks ago I was on holiday in Portugal. In a shopping mall in Guia there was a cinema and I checked for the Rocky Balboa movie. To my surprise I saw this big Rocky Balboa promotion board with Mike Tyson and Stallone. They made a hole in the board in which you could stand for yourself, really cool.

Look in the pictures which I have attached.

Keep up the good work for the website, it’s great!

Bye,
Hein
*****
It’s interesting that Mike Tyson made the ad and Antonio Tarver’s face was cut out. Thanks to Hein for sharing! – Craig

SZoner, Bill Pruitt, e-mailed to make sure fans know that Sly appears in the current issue of a magazine called Makeup Artist. There’s an article about the makeup artist of “Rocky Balboa” with pics. Thanks to Bill for sharing! – Craig

SZoner, Joy aka Jacy checked in with the shot of Sly above which was taken at the Philadelphoa Spectrum on September 9, 2006. The photo below is a shot of Joy and fellow Stallone fan, Judy. – Craig

SZoner, Matt Arnold sent in a drawing that he did. It’s his first piece on the SZ and we hope to see more in the future! – Craig

The picture above was taken on February 18, 2007 when Sly was in Australia taking a break from promoting “Rocky Balboa.” The pictures come from Justjared.com and there are more there! – Craig

This weekend I received the above card in the mail as thanks for working on the blog. You can imagine that it made my day! – Craig
