Sly Stallone as Rambo is one of the pieces I got from Dean Beattie when he opened up a commission list. I jumped on board, got this headsketch, a Rocky piece, a Jack Carter & John Wick piece and two of his sketchbooks. If you’d like to see more of Dean’s art you can at his webpage or his Instagram.
Charlie Griak watched First Blood for the first time. Here’s part of what he said about the film…
Just watched “First Blood” for the first time and was really surprised by how much deeper and emotionally complex it was than I expected—a great movie and a great performance by Sylvester Stallone!

When you think film noir, Out of the Past has to be on the short list. This cool alt poster was created by Erik J. Kreffel. You can see more of Kreffel’s art at his website or by following his Twitter stream.

Rich Hennemann is a freelance artist. A few years ago I picked up Rich’s sketchbook and a sketch. I was hooked. Since then I’ve gotten several sketches from Rich.
I requested Sly Stallone from Rambo III. Rich came through like he always does. He absolutely nailed the piece.

Who doesn’t enjoy a cool alt poster? Especially when they are as nice as this one created by Dalton Frizzell for The Shining.

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 the Toymaker from Spy Kids 3D!

Wolverine and Nightcrawler by John Byrne. 1979. What a great time to be into comics.

LADY MAYHEM written by Jenny Lynn Wright, illustrated by Karl Slominski
Publisher: Calculated Rebellion
When her father dies under suspicious circumstances a young woman returns to the city she left years before. It was labeled an accident. She knew it wasn’t. The cops wouldn’t investigate. No charges were filed.
The woman begins to dig. She discovers her dad was a bookkeeper who learned things about many bad people. He was starting to work with an honest cop. Before they could prove enough, an “accident” happened. Now everyone was ready to move on.
Except his daughter.
They didn’t know she was coming. But they’d soon learn.
And they’d call her Lady Mahem.

LADY MAYHEM is Jenny Lynn Wright and Karl Slominski’s love letter to revenge stories. The kind you’d find in ’80s movies, as well as comics like The Punisher and Miller and Darrow’s Hard Boiled. Wright and Slominski love their inspirations and it shows on every page.
They’ve set their story in a corrupt town in the not too distant future. This opens up opportunities for interesting visuals with flying cars and advanced weaponry. Some things don’t change though. We’ve got crooked cops, ruthless crime lords, one honest cop and a murdered parent with a grown child out for vengeance. Only this time it’s a woman. A very capable woman.
They call her Lady Mayhem.
