Kyle Holtz Gets Carter, Too

Craig / / 2013, Craig's Sly Art, Get Carter

When I learned that Kyle Holtz was taking on some mail order commissions, I just knew I had to try and get on his list. I was able to and Kyle agreed to give me his take on Sly as Jack Carter.

The first piece that Kyle created can be seen here. I think Kyle did an amazing job. I love everything about this piece. Unfortunately, it was lost in the mail. I have hope that it will eventually turn up. Thankfully, Kyle sent a scan before mailing the art. When Kyle learned that the piece never arrived, he agreed to redo it.

Knowing how much artists hate to redraw something, and because I thought Kyle totally nailed this piece, I asked if I could upgrade to a larger piece. Kyle agreed. So Kyle is going to create a new Jack Carter drawing. The upgrade piece is the one posted today.  I absolutely love it.

If you’d like to see more of Kyle’s art, click on over to his Facebook page.  I give Kyle the highest recommendation to folks that collect commissions.

Sly Connections to Christopher Moloney’s FILMography

Craig / / 2013, Prisoner of Second Avenue, Staying Alive

Christopher Moloney is the talent behind FILMography — “…an ongoing art project… that matches scenes from movies with their real-life, present-day locations” in photographs taken by Moloney.

Here are two examples that feature Sly connections…

First up we have John Travolta (above) in Staying Alive.


Next, we have Sylvester Stallone and Jack Lemon from The Prisoner of Second Avenue.

Thanks to Mark Evanier for his post pointing me in the right direction.
