“Creature from the Black Lagoon” Reboot Designs by Miles Teves!
There have been several attempts to revive The Creature from the Black Lagoon. (And I wish someone would get it done!) John Carpenter was involved with a reboot for a while, but that project never crossed the finish line.
What we see here today is concept art created by Miles Teves. Teves has worked in film/television as a concept artist, illustrator, and makeup FX sculptor since 1984. The illustrations here were created for a possible Creature from the Black Lagoon reboot around 1997. At that time Carpenter had moved on and Ivan Reitman was leading the charge. Sadly, Reitman’s movie never made it to filming.
It’s interesting to note the changes Teves made from the original CFTBL design. Note the tail and a more lizard-like appearance.

The “Bounty Law” with Cliff Booth Poster by Mat Peg!
I love Mat Peg’s art. It’s not that just Peg’s so talented. It is also the creativity. Check out the Bounty Law with Cliff Booth (Brad Pit) poster above. What a cool choice to go with the stunt man (Booth) in the middle of a shootout.
Brilliant.
“Just the Boatman…” – Sly Stallone from “Rambo” by Evan Bryce Cranston!
I’ve been a fan Evan Bryce Cranston aka artgantuan’s art for years. I call this piece Just the Boatman… What a great scene with Stallone playing one of his signature characters in 2008’s Rambo.
Sly Stallone as Rocky Balboa from “Rocky” by Andrew Charipar!
Andrew Charipar is a Florida artist that I met going to conventions throughout the state. Andrew was always friendly. Getting a sketch at any show Andrew attended was mandatory.
In addition to his work as an artist, Andrew owns and manages Misfit Corner Comics in Jacksonville, Florida.
Here we have Andrew’s take on Sly Stallone as Rocky Balboa from Rocky!
The Bat-Man Swings Into Action by Matt Wagner!
I love Batman stories set in this era. Matt Wagner must as well. Just look at that beautiful art. Bat-Man is just starting out. We have castles, evil scientists and assistant plus The Bat-Man!
Cool “Pulp Fiction” Alt Poster by Nino Cammarata!
Check out this cool alt Pulp Fiction poster by Nino Cammarata.
Joseba Alexander’s Warrior Woman!
Often artists who draw women barbarians make them look like modern day models. They’re pretty, but could they really lift, let alone swing a broad sword? Joseba Alexander’s Warrior Woman could and her looks at bad either.
Marv by Keith Browning!
Marv from Frank Miller’s Sin City is one of my all-time favorite characters. I love seeing artists do their “take” on the big lug. Today we have Marv by Keith Browning.
Batman vs Dracula by Bruce Timm!

“The Twilight Zone” Alt Print by Al Abbazia!
The Twilight Zone is one of my all-time favorite shows. It raised the bar for what good television could be.
Al Abbazia is a fan as well. Abbazia created the poster above. I’m sure it would make Rod Serling proud. It’s cool that my two favorite TZ episodes got the top two spots on Abbazia’s print. You can see more of Al Abbazia’s art here.

“Rambo: First Blood, Part II” Killer Alt Poster by Yvan Quinet!
Rambo: First Blood, Part II is one of my all-time favorite movies. It deserves a new bad ass poster. Yvan Quinet must have agreed because he created one.
You can see more of Yvan Quinet’s art at his website and/or his Instagram page.
Sly Stallone as Freddy Hefflin from “Cop Land” by Rich Hennemann!
Rich Hennemann is an amazing freelance artist. A few years ago I picked up his sketchbook and a sketch and I was hooked. Since then I’ve gotten several sketches from Rich.
Heading in to October each year, Rich takes sketch suggestions. He then picks one a day to draw. The person who suggested the piece has first dibs. I sugested Sly Stallone from Cop Land and it was picked for the 20th. Of course I purchased the piece. I couldn’t be more pleased. There will be more art from Rich in my future. If you’re a sketch collector, you owe it to yourself to get a piece as well.
