Mike Torrance Takes a Shot at Barney Ross

Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd created the art above earlier this week.  It’s his take on Sly as Barney Ross from The Expendables.   

Mike Torrance can do 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.  Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.   You’re also going to be happy to know that once a month Mike has a contest for someone to win a free sketchcard!

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.
