Entertainment Weekly commissioned a poster for each of their five favorite Breaking Bad episodes. Sadly they are no longer online, but I did save the one above. I wish I knew the name of the person who created it. If you do, let me know and I’ll credit them here.
Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd is back! Mike has given us his take on Sly from The Expendables 2.
You can see more of Mike’s art at his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.
If you’re a fan of great crime comics, you should be reading Gravedigger by Chris Mills and Rick Burchett. I’ve been singing the praises of Gravedigger since before it was released. I knew from the premise and with Chris and Rick at the helm that Gravedigger would be a winner.
And it is.
Keep in mind, that my love for Gravedigger happened long before I became a part of his universe!
The extremely talented, extremely nice, Gene Gonzales created his take on Sly from “Get Carter” at the last Heroes Convention. Gene is funny, knowledgeable and really nice.
At every show he attends Gene is constantly signing autographs and sketching for fans, so I was happy to find he could fit me in for a headsketch!
You can see more of Gene’s work at his blog where he posts art almost DAILY! Gene is also available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.
Thanks again Gene!
The Punisher drops in by Jorge Zaffino.
TNT just released two new teaser posters Mob City starring Jon Bernthal. The photo above is one of them.
The series is based on L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America’s Most Seductive City by John Buntin. Here’s how ComingSoon describes the series…
It’s a world of glamorous movie stars, powerful studio heads, returning war heroes, a powerful and corrupt police force and an even more dangerous criminal network determined to make L.A. its West Coast base.
How can you not be excited about THAT?
If you want to see the other teaser poster and learn more about the series check out Coming Soon: TNT’s Mob City…
This week we have Lil’ Rambo by Jamie Cosley. This piece was gifted to me by my pal (and fellow sketch collector) LittleJohn and his wife Patricia. I could see Lil Rambo as a Saturday morning cartoon! Thanks to Jamie, LJ and Patricia! – Craig
This latest poster for Escape Plan starring Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger is without a doubt my favorite so far. – Craig
SZoner, Gerardo Moreno is back with his new Creed fan poster.
I’ve always enjoyed Gerardo’s Stallone art, and know that I can see more of his art here.
It’s not unusual to see gargoyles on ancient buildings.
It is pretty strange to see a movie alien gargoyle on the historic 13th century Paisley Abbey.
How could that be? Ancient Aliens? Time-traveling pranksters?
Nope.
It seems the abbey underwent some renovations in the early 1990’s and some of the gargoyles were repaired/replaced.
Well played, mystery repair man!
I love getting a look at where creative people work. MTV Geek! provides a peak at Mike “Hellboy” Mignola’s studio. (Sadly the link is no longer available, but here’s Mike Mignola drawing live! – Craig, 2021)
John Herzfeld is one of Sly’s oldest friends — they met at the University of Miami when both were students there. Sly and John have remained friends over the years.
John Herzfeld is best known as a writer/director on films such as 15 Minutes (starring Robert Deniro); 2 Days in the Valley and Inferno: The Making of The Expendables.
Herzfeld has been working to get his movie Reach Me made. Herzfeld has filmed most of Reach Me, but wants to add a few more touches and so he’s gone to Kickstarter to raise the additional funds.
Reach Me stars Sylvester Stallone, Lauren Cohen, Terry Crews, Cary Elwes, Elizabeth Henstridge, Tom Berenger, Kyra Sedgwick, Kelsey Grammer, Thomas Jane, Tom Sizemore, Danny Aiello, Danny Trejo and Nelly.
Below is Herzfeld’s pitch and here’s a link to his Kickstarter page. How often does the chance come along to help get a movie made… especially a movie featuring Sylvester Stallone? I’m in.
Jeremy Treece has created art for comic books, trading cards, animation and independent films. Today we have Treece’s take on a young Cosmo Carboni from the first film Stallone directed, “Paradise Alley”.
The Dayton Daily News twice accidentally switched the captions for Gary Larson’s The Far Side and Hank Ketcham’s Dennis the Menace. Hilarity ensued.
Thanks and an extra caption to Neatorama.
Dave Wachter is back and he brought his take on Sly from the Bullet to the Head. I met Dave a few years ago and became an instant fan. I wasn’t the only one to discover Dave’s fantastic sketches! How can you not like a great guy who is a terrific artist?
At HeroesCon this year I asked Dave to draw Sly from his first major movie, the Lords of Flatbush and another piece of Sly from his latest film, Bullet to the Head. Last week, you saw Dave’s take on Sly as Stanley Kowalski, so this week we have Sly as Jimmy Bobo.
You can see more of Dave’s art at his site. – Craig
