Thomas Boatwright’s Rocky and Adrian

Posted on by

Thomas Boatwright is back!

Thomas recently ran a watercolor sketch sale and I jumped on board for a couple.  Thomas came up with the idea of bookending the Rocky series.  Here is his take on Rocky.  I’ll be back next week with his riff on Rocky Balboa.

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, is a fantastic artist and always gives you more than you’re expecting!   – Craig

19 Things You Probably Didn’t Know about Pretty Woman

Posted on by

Did you notice the title on the movie poster above?

You were probably expecting to see Pretty Woman the title the movie was released as.  Did you know that the movie was originally titled $3,000?  It was because the was the price for a night with Julia Roberts’ character.

Well, she was a high-priced hooker, you know.

Studio execs didn’t think that their movie if titled $3,000 set the tone of the romantic comedy that they wanted to sell.  So the title changed to Pretty Woman.

Did you know Christopher Reeve, Denzel Washington and Daniel Day-Lewis were reportedly considered for the lead male role… Al Pacino, Albert Brooks and Sylvester Stallone were offered the role as well and turned it down before it went to Richard Gere

You’ll learn all that and a lot more if you check out Buzzfeed’s 19 Things You Probably Didn’t Know about Pretty Woman.

Superman Guest Stars on “I Love Lucy”

Posted on by

 George Reeves (as Superman) and Lucille Ball (from I Love Lucy) were the stars of two of the most popular tv shows from the 1950’s.  

As a small child I enjoyed watching both shows in rerun in the 1960’s.  My favorite episode of I Love Lucy, as you can imagine, was when George Reeves appeared as Superman.

The picture above is just one of 21 Wonderful Behind-the-Scenes Photos of “I Love Lucy“ posted at Buzzfeed.

Site Predicts if You’re Conservative or Liberal

Posted on by

 I took a 12 question survey by Time Magazine that predicted my politics.  I came out as 85% Conservative and 15% Liberal.  

The 85% Conservative rating surprised me. I know it will shock my buddy, John Beatty who thinks I’m a full blown liberal.  I would have guessed that I’d be rated about 50-50 because that’s how this types of surveys usually score me.

What do you know?  I’m a conservative.  Don’t argue with me about it.  Conservatives are always right.

Nexus by Mike Baron & Steve Rude

That cover of Nexus #1 brings back a ton of good memories.  I picked up the magazine because of the Paul Gulacy cover, but it was the Nexus character and stories created by Mike Baron [writer] and Steve ‘The Dude’ Rude that kept me coming back for more.

A couple of years ago there was a push to get a Nexus animated series going.  Below is the promo reel that was used.  I think I would have tuned in.

Are You Psychopathic?

Posted on by

 

According to Professor Kevin Dutton…

Psychopathy is a condition that causes people to display anti-social behaviour, lack of empathy and remorse, and fearless dominance.  Everyone has these characteristics to some degree – take the test and find out where you sit on the spectrum.

I took the test and think the results are pretty accurate. The good news is that I didn’t rate all that high on the spectrum scale.  The even better news is that my wife rated lower than me.  Whew!  Who wants to live with a psycho?

If you’d like to find out where you fall on the psychopathic spectrum, you can here.
