This his week Ryan Cody is back with Sly from Rhinestone.
Ryan is still running an unbelievable sale [where you get a free sketch with every purchase. That’s right. Buy Volume 1 of his sketchbook for five bucks and get a free sketch. Same if you buy Volume 2 or the Icarus Convention Issue].
If you want to see more of his art then check out Ryan’s blog and his DA site.
Thanks to Ryan! – Craig
If you pick up either the Blu-Ray Criterion edition or the regular Criterion DVD of 12 Angry Men you’ll be treated to the awesome cover art of Sean Phillips.
I just received the following e-mail from Sly Stallone:

The poster that everyone is seeing on line is completely unofficial and bogus. The official poster is far from being completed so unfortunately people like to pull pranks. Please everyone spread the word that the real poster won’t be out for several months.
Best,
Sly

So there you have it. Someone with some skills decided to have a bit of fun. Thanks to Sly for letting us know. – Craig
Have you ever seen Alfred Hitchcock’s Halloween starring Kim Novak and Robert Mitchum? Well, of course you haven’t unless you’ve checked out Sean Hartter and his alternative universe movie posters.
This is Sean Hartter’s second appearance here. I first discovered him with his Bruce Lee in The Matrix poster.
I like this teaser poster for Rampart even better than its trailer… and the trailer ain’t bad… although Woody Harrelson’s character is!
SZoner, Gerardo Moreno is back with a piece he calls She Believes in Me.
Bravo, Gerardo! To see more of his art, click here.
Now THAT is a sweet teaser poster.
This week Ryan Cody is back with Sly from The Expendables.
I usually try to space out the work of the artists that I spotlight, but Ryan is running such an unbelievable sale [where you get a free sketch with every purchase. That’s right. Buy Volume 1 of his sketchbook for five bucks and get a free sketch. Same if you buy Volume 2 or the Icarus Convention Issue] that I want to help him promote it.
So far I’ve ordered both sketchbooks [accidentally ordered Volume 1 twice] and 2 copies of the Icarus convention issue. If you want to see more of his art then check out Ryan’s blog and his DA site.
Thanks to Ryan! – Craig
Doesn’t it seem like Jason Statham is in every third movie released lately? I’m not complaining since I’m a fan and especially when the movies look as action-packed as Safe.
Would you like to see some rare photos of Marilyn Monroe taken in 1953 when she was filming [my favorite] Monroe film, River of No Return [with Robert Mitchum]? Thanks to The Huffington Post, you can.
If you have any interest in Marilyn Monroe and/or historical fiction you should check out Bye Bye, Baby by Max Allan Collins. It’s one of my favorite Nate Heller books and they are all excellent.
Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd is back and he brought Sly dressed as The Punisher.
You can see more of Mike’s art at The Daily Sketch with The Krayola Kidd and his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable. You’re also going to be happy to know that once a month Mike has a contest for someone to win a free sketchcard! That is how I came to own this cool piece. I won the contest [Halloween Edition] and told Mike to pick a Sly character. He chose Sly as the Punisher and I salute him!
ComingSoon scored a first look at the teaser poster for Expendables 2.
Have you seen the trailer to Safe House starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds?
Looks pretty good, huh?
MTV Movies Blog has a nice little interview with director James Mangold about what it was like to direct Stallone, DeNiro, Keitel and Liotta in Copland.
The opening of this video says it all… “We all know that BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA is a flawless film… but did anyone ever let Kurt Russell read the script?
