On May 15, 2011, The Huffington Post picked up on the story of Sly and Arnold having lunch together and ran it with a stock photo of them at a Planet Hollywood.

Jim Ivey Takes on Sly
Jim is a political cartoonist, author, publisher, teacher, owner/curator of one of the first galleries featuring cartoon art in the world [The Cartoon Museum], World War II vet and self-professed mellow curmudgeon. I’ve always loved the simplicity of Jim’s art.
The piece above is one of a series of three that Jim did for me a couple of years ago [at the tender age of 83]. Jim’s goal was to capture Sly as well as spell out S – L – Y in as few lines as possible. I think he succeeded.
Sly & Arnold Break Bread
Earlier today, DailyMail.co.uk posted. “Sylvester Stallone Takes Arnold Schwarzenegger to Lunch” along with these two photos and more. It’s nice to see Frank Stallone [in the picture below] was able to join Sly & Arnold for lunch.
You can see the whole piece here.

Mike Torrance Gets Carter
Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd did this for me earlier this week. Mike Torrance does it all – pencils, inks and colors. You can see more of Mike’s art at The Daily Sketch with The Krayola Kidd and his Deviant Art site.
You’re also going to be happy to know that once a month Mike has a contest for someone to win a free sketchcard! This sketch of Jack Carter was what I chose when I won! What would you choose?
Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable. I just ordered four cards [three Stallone pieces and one for a friend so the subject must remain secret… at least until he gets it.]

Dave Wachter’s Rocky
Dave Wachter joins us this week with his take on Sly pounding the beef from Rocky. I’m a huge fan of Dave’s art and own several pieces [and hope to get more in the future]. He’s a tremendous artist, but more importantly an all-around decent guy. You can see more of Dave’s art at his site. – Craig
