Robbi Rodriguez and Jack Carter

Craig / / 2011, Craig's Sly Art, Get Carter

Robbi Rodroguez did a Rocky sketch for me at last year’s Heroes Convention.  When I saw that Robbi was going to be at Heroes again this year and was taking commissions early, I asked for an iconic black and white piece of Sly as Jack Carter.    Robbi knew eactly what I was looking for and came through like a champ with the piece above.  I was totally blown away.

You can see more of Robbi’s art here and here… and definitely again here at the SZ in the future.

 

Sly Looks Like Weaver

Craig / / 2011, Antz

On June 23, 2011, Film School Rejects took a look at “8 Animated Characters That Look Disturbingly Like Their Voice Actors.”  Sly was mentioned for his role in Antz.  Here’s what they had to say…

  • Sylvester Stallone – Antz

    Does Sylvester Stallone look like an ant or do ants look like Sylvester Stallone? This is the question that has plagued humanity since late 1998.

    Stallone played Weaver, the beefy best friend of Woody Allen’s Z, in Dreamworks Animation’s Antz and they didn’t have to stray to far from the actors hexagonal cranium to make him fit the bill.

    Good thing too — most Italian men prefer playing uncles.

Mike Torrance: It Takes a Maniac…

Craig / / 2011, Craig's Sly Art, Demolition Man

Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd knows what the three shells are for and so he decided that it was time for Sly as John Spartan aka The Demolition Man.

You can see more of Mike’s art at The Daily Sketch with The Krayola Kidd and his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable. You’re also going to be happy to know that once a month Mike has a contest for someone to win a free sketchcard!  That is how I came to own this cool sketchcard.  I won the contest and told Mike to pick a Sly character.  He chose Spartan and I couldn’t be happier.
