Buy Art & Help a Child Get a Christmas Toy

Posted on by

About a year and a half ago, I did a post about Kyle Hilton‘s cool Breaking Bad paper dolls art.

Then about six months ago I did a post about his Pulp Fiction paper doll art.  As I said then, I’m not a fan of paper dolls, but when they’re as cool as the ones that Kyle does, they deserve to be mentioned. 

Until December 18th, all proceeds from any paper doll prints sold at Kyle’s Society 6 shop will go directly to giving a child in need a toy this holiday season!  

Mike Henderson Gets Carter

Posted on by

This week we have Mike Henderson and his take on Sly as Jack Carter. Mike is a freelance artist who has worked for DC, IDW, Marvel, and Nike to name just a few. I saw Mike would be a guest at Heroes Con and really liked his art [especially a Conan piece that he drew following Frank Frazetta’s death].

I met Mike at Heroes and set up a commission for the Jack Carter sketch posted today. My son, [also named] Mike, was with me at Heroes and knew how much I liked the Conan piece. Heroes was in June. In October, my son gave me a birthday gift — yep, the Conan piece by Mike Henderson!

Riddick is Back

Posted on by

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Pitch Black and the character of Riddick.  Vin Diesel owned that movie and [with David Twohy] created a character worthy of a series of films.  

The Chronicles of Riddick was an ambitious sequel that strayed a bit too far away from the core of what made Pitch Black [and Riddick] so awesome.  

Now eight years later, Riddick is back.  So is Vin Diesel and David Twohy [writer and director].  Let’s just hope that the coolness of Pitch Black made the trip as well.

Thanks and a flip of the googles to IMPAwards.

10 Things You Might Not Know About Tarzan

Posted on by


When I was a kid I enjoyed Tarzan movies [Johnny Weissmuller was my favorite], the Tarzan tv show and the occasional Tarzan comic book.  

Over the years, I’ve watched many [if not all] of the  various movie Tarzans from the silent era, to the 60’s when he was a jet-setter, to the 80’s  when Christopher Lambert played him.  

Surprisingly, I’ve never read any of the  Edgar Rice Burroughs’ novels that gave the character his start.

If you’ve read this far, then there’s a good chance you’ll get a kick out 10 Things You Might Not Know About Tarzan.

Doug Dabbs Knows Jack

Posted on by


Doug Dabbs makes his first, but not last, appearance in our Stallone Sketch 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

The Most Terrifying Film You Will Ever Experience.

“The Most Terrifying Film You Will Ever Experience.”

As John Travolta said in Pulp Fiction, “That’s a bold statement.”  Like Travolta, I’m more than a bit skeptical.

Do you really think that the Evil Dead remake will be “the most terrifying film you will ever experience.”   Remember we’re talking about you.  You’ve seen a truckload of terrifying films.

Perhaps it will be the most terrifying film I’ll ever experience.  But the poster wasn’t talking to me.  It was talking to you.

Cruise is Jack Reacher…

Posted on by


When Tom Cruise was first announced to play Lee Child’s character, Jack Reacher, I thought the role had been miscast.  Even when Lee Child said that Cruise embodied Reacher [despite the fact that Cruise doesn’t physically resemble the character] I still had my doubts.  

As we’ve seen more about more about the movie, I’ve started to change my opinion.  Perhaps Cruise will be a very good movie version Jack Reacher.  Check out the latest trailer and see if you agree.
