Jesse Munoz Rocks Rambo

Posted on by

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? 25,000.  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?

Stallone Not Capone

Posted on by

Since some of you may not be regular readers of my StalloneZone site, I thought I’d share this cool Stallone poster here too.

I found this overseas movie poster for “Capone” and really liked the art. Of course the poster design is pretty deceptive in that Sly doesn’t star or even play Capone in the movie. Most SZoners know that Sly had a small, but important role as Frank Nitti. Ben Gazara played Capone. Did you notice that Sly was even given top billing in the poster credits?

Oh well, that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a pretty cool poster.

Thomas Boatwright Gets Carter

Posted on by

This is the third, and at this point, last sketch by Thomas Boatwright that I have to post. My first was this First Blood piece. This sketch of Sly as Barney Ross from The Expendables was the second piece. I totally dig them all [although the Jack Carter is probably my favorite].

If you’d like to see more of Thomas Boatwright’s art check out his blog and his DA site. Send him some love. If you get commissions, you should consider a piece from Thomas. He keeps you totally in the loop on his progress, finishes his commissions on or ahead of schedule, has very reasonable prices and is a fantastic artist! – Craig

Famous Movies That Left Us Hanging

Posted on by

Cracked.com posted an interesting article about famous movies that left important plot threads unresolved.  The movies are “Spider-Man 3”, “The Wizard of Oz”, “The Shawshank Redemption”, “Fantastic Voyage”, “The Departed” and “Inception.”

I’ve seen all of the movies listed except for “Spider-Man 3” and in each case had totally missed the hanging thread.  Perhaps you did as well?  Check them out here, but be aware that there are spoilers.

Blood Out Welcomed In

Posted on by

I’ve never heard a word about “Blood Out” until I say the poster above.  Odds are it’ll be a “drive-in” movie or what folks today would call straight-to-dvd.  Still, there’s nothing wrong with an action-packed B movie and that’s exactly what “Blood Out” looks to be.  So, yeah, I’ll give it a shot when I get the chance.

You’ve probably heard me speak read about my buddy, Bill Black many times.  Bill always has something creative going.  He writes, draws, edits and publishes comics.  Bill also writes, produces and directs micro-budget movies.

Bill’s latest film is called “The Ghost of Garganta: The Giantess Rises.” Here’s a link to the trailer.  If it looks like something you’d like, then check out Bill’s site.   You can see more free clips and even order a movie or ten.

Thomas Boatwright: Barney Ross

Posted on by

I commissioned my first sketch from Thomas Boatwright in December of 2010. It was this First Blood piece. Thomas finished it in less than a week and I totally loved it. So I ordered two more pieces. This sketch of Sly as Barney Ross from The Expendables is the second piece. I have another that I will post in the near future of Sly as Jack Carter. I totally dig them all and hope to get more art from Thomas for my collection later this year.
