Jerry Gaylord aka The Franchize returns with his take on Sly from Lords of Flatbush. This may be his best Stallone sketch yet, and they’ve all been winners!
I highly recommend Jerry to all sketch collectors. He quickly responds to e-mails, his turnaround time is fast and he packages the art to ensure it arrives safely.

Robert Tutton at Paste Magazine recently posted 15 Incredible Comic Book Artists to Follow on Instagram.
Tutton’s list is a good one and worth a look. Hopefully you’ll discover an artist new to you. I did.
Alex Maidy over at JoBlo.com recently posted his choices for the Top Ten Roles Dwayne Johnson Was Born to Play.
I agree with: Samson, Predator, Lobo, Conan, Terminator (do we see an Arnold pattern forming?), and Shazam,
I disagree with: Transformers (of course I am not a Transformers fan), Venom (again, not a fan), Flash Gordon (I’m on the fence on this character but leaning towards, “no”) and He-Man (again on the fence and pointing to “no”).
The role I’d really like to see Dwayne Johnson take on? The “black market mercenary” in Cuidad.
Jerry Ordway recently spoke with Patrick Reed at Comics Alliance about penciling and inking the 1989 Batman comic adaptation of the movie. It’s an informative, fun interview and the art ain’t bad either!
Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd is back and he’s brought Sly as Machine Gun Joe Viterbo from Death Race 2000 with him! Over the coming weeks/months I’ll be posting more of Mike’s sketch card commissions. My goal is to eventually get a card for every character Sly has played. We’re well on our way!
You can see more of Mike’s art at his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.

Did you dig the Walking Dead Season 5 Trailer that was shown at Comic Con?
Yeah, me too!
Robert Rodriguez tweeted this sweet character poster of Frank Miller for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
Miller is, of course, the creator/writer/artist of the original Sin City yarns and co-director with Robert Rodriguez of the two Sin City movies.
I think it’s cool that Miller received his own poster for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Outside of Hitchcock, I can’t think of many other directors who weren’t also acting in the films represented to get the honor.

My buddy, John Beatty, recently posted that he recently came across his old Flicker account (that he had forgotten about) which is full of art and photos!
