Mike Torrance Presents “The Night the Reindeer Died 2”

Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd returns with a clever over-sized card that he gifted me.  I can compliment Mike enough on the creativity that went into making it,  Everything from the fonts to the cast to the fact that it’s “The Night the Reindeer Died 2” emphasis on the 2.  I totally love it and can’t thank Mike enough.

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.  Tell him Sly Santa sent ya!


Mike Torrance Hits the Bullseye with Rambo

Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd shows us his take on Sly as Rambo.

Recently Mike ran a “Black Friday” discount on his sketches and sketchcards.  Since I’m a fan of Mike’s art, I naturally jumped on board for several.  Mike, as he always does, went above and beyond.  Next week I plan to share the present he included.  It’s too cool.

Until then, 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.


Jeff Johnson Knows The Cure


The piece above was drawn by Jeff Johnson at last year’s Heroes ConJeff is one of the founding fathers of Drink and Draw [along with Rev. Dave Johnson and Dan Panosian].  When I asked him to autograph my hardcover Drink and Draw, Volume 2, I also asked Jeff about doing a Stallone piece for my collection.  Jeff was up for it and chose Cobra.  He then proceeded to kill it with this sketch.

Hopefully, Jeff will be up for another Stallone piece in the future.
