Doug Dabbs is Expendable
Doug Dabbs is back! I first met Doug in 2011 at Heroes Con. I was heading out from the show and saw his art. If there had been time, I’d have got a sketch on the spot.
I told Doug I would get a piece from him in 2012 and I did. Two in fact. This piece is Doug’s riff on Barney Ross from The Expendables. Since it is one of my favorite sketches from 2012, I thought it would be fitting to go out with a bang! – Craig

Jenn Lee is Expendable
Today we have Jenn Lee’s third (but hopefully not last) appearance in the Stallone Sketch Gallery. I saw Jenn’s art and that she was taking on headsketch commissions. Jenn thought sketching Sly characters would be fun. Here’s her take on Sly in his role as Barney Ross from The Expendables.
You can see more of Jenn’s art here. – Craig

The Expendables as a TV Series?
News came out this week that there’s a rumor that a potential Expendables tv series could be in the works. Now THAT would be cool if done correctly. There’s the potential for story arcs a la the old Wise Guy series or the current Justified series. Also an Expendables tv series could spotlight a regular team with guest stars for the Expendables movies. I’d also suggest that the tv cast go into the series knowing that it’s called Expendables and that some of them could be.
Of course this is all speculation at this point.

Today we have Sly as Barney Ross by Shawn Surface. Shawn is an all-around nice guy and his art should be getting more attention. This is the second of three pieces that I recently picked up from Shawn. Here’s the first of my recent Shawn Surface purchases, and the third will be posted in the coming weeks. Until then, why not check out his site and give him some love?

Tom Hodges: Barney Ross
This week we have Sly from The Expendables by Tom Hodges. I discovered Tom’s art through his DA site. I saw that Tom was going to be drawing live on UStream so I commissioned several sketches which will be posted in the coming weeks. Tom still draws regularly on UStream and it’s always a blast watching him sketch and interacting with the crowd.
