The Rambo drawing above is by the very talented Eli Minaya. I met Eli at this year’s MegaCon. I’d never seen Eli’s art before, but decided on the spot to see about getting a con sketch from him. Eli was up for it and Rambo seemed the natural choice. As you can see from the piece above, it was.
While we’re on the subject of drive-in movies, how about a look at the trailer for El Gringo?
And a tip o’ the sombrero to Chris Mills.
I’m a fan of what I affectionately call drive-in movies. You know, low-budget, high-concept films that seldom rate an all-star cast, but have great entertainment value. Shuffle looks to fit the bill…
If Shuffle sounds like something you’d like, here’s the trailer and if it’s not your cup of tea, come back tomorrow and we’ll talk about something different.
With the Sly’s recent discussion about a new Rambo story brewing, there’s been a lot of speculation that Sly might kill off everyone’s favorite warrior. I received word from Sly who writes….
So no need to worry, Rambo’s not gong to see the Grim Reaper anytime soon! – Craig
This is my second Mitch Byrd sketch. You can see the first here. It’s rare to see Mitch at conventions but I’ve been lucky enough to meet up with him at MegaCon a couple of times. When Mitch makes an appearance, I try to get on his list. Look at his art and you can see why.
Since a picture is worth 1,000 words, I just saved 989.
What if The Avengers movie was made in 1978?
What would it be like to live in a world where the laws of physics were unpredictable? We’ll find out when Collider by Simon Oliver [writer], Robbi Rodriguez [artist] and Rico Renzi [colorist] hits comic shops this fall. But why wait until fall to learn more, when you can read this interview at CBR.com with Oliver and Rodriguez?
Although I wasn’t impressed with the Looper poster, I do like the look of it’s trailer. I’m not ready to run out and buy tickets just yet, but I will keep Looper on my radar.
If you’re a fan of horror movies, then you might want to find out how many of the 100 Best Horror Films of All Time you’ve seen. I’ve seen 65, but my guess is that many of you will top that.
Thomas Boatwright is back and with a vengeance. He knows you have to send a maniac to catch a maniac.
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
Although I was never a Blue Oyster Cult fan, I always liked the song that they’re best known for: Don’t Fear the Reaper. I think I may like The Alice Band’s version even better.
A tip o’ the scythe to Bits and Pieces.
This is just one of nine new character posters for GI Joe: Retaliation. Of course, it is the best one. ; )
