Mike Torrance Takes Aim at Jack Carter

Craig / / 2012, Craig's Sly Art, Get Carter

Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd may have done more Jack Carter drawings than anyone else in my collection.  Perhaps he enjoys drawing the character as much as I do getting the pieces.

You can see more of Mike’s art at The Daily Sketch with The Krayola Kidd (and if you’ve never checked out Mike’s site, you ought to if only to see his Walking Dead cards!) and his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.

  • Retirement doesn’t seem to be in Sylvester Stallone’s vocabulary…
  • Sly: “To do a sequel at this time of my life? Amazing…The beauty in getting this second wind is you can now apply all the knowledge and capitalize on all the mistakes that were learned the hard way and get it done.”
