Boxing Pencil Sketches: Need Help

Tantum · Post by **Tantum** » 13 Feb 2004, 20:34

I've seen these really great pencil sketch collage's of boxing greats: Sonny Liston, Jack Dempsey, Tommy Hearns, Marvin Hagler, Rocky Marciano, Ray Robinson, Roberto Duran, Archie Moore, and a few others...

I was curious if anyone else has seen them and/or knows where I can BUY them! If you know of a link to these pictures, I would be very happy. :)

Any info is appreciated.

I wonder if you're talking about the kind of caricatures like on the cover of the Aerosmith album Draw the Line. There's a couple of guys well-known for those, but their names escape me at the moment.

They're not like that, I just looked at the album cover.

In every sketch, there's a picture of the boxer posing, and then there's scenes from different fights. Like, in the Hearns one, it shows him Knocking out Duran, and in the Marciano one, it shows him Knocking out Walcott.

The Ring magazine's Ted Carroll was well-known for his ink drawings. He was with The Ring for, what? about 40 years I think, starting in the 1930s.
Here are some examples of Ted's work (all pertaining to Sanstol):

Hmm... Those aren't the ones. But thank you very much for helping, any more help is appreciated.

The pictures don't look cartoony, the sketches look like a pencil sketch of actual fight photos, but it's the complete collage that I really like, and I really want to get a few certain fighters that I saw.

They were all similar in design, and I'd bet they were all by the same artist. So to anyone out there who might know, these pictures have to be somewhat recent, Because I believe there was a Tyson one, and the Hearns one (I think, not sure) Had Leonard on the ground.

Example... The Marciano one had a picture of Marciano, and a picture similar to this in it. This is the style of the action photos. (Well, the closest I could find going on pure memory.
