Troz started his career the traditional way by attending Hussian School of Commercial Art in Philadelphia, PA. After schooling, he landed several well paying commercial jobs working for various studios. But Troz felt that something was missing in his life. Illustrating commercial products was boring and tedious. Taking a big chance in 1973, he threw it all away to chase his dream of becoming a freelance cartoonist. He soon began drawing for <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/CARtoons_Magazine\" title=\"CARtoons Magazine on Wikipedia\">CARtoons magazine <\/a>where he would later create a couple of the best loved characters of the magazine known as Krass and Bernie. Originally Troz wanted to name them \u201cCrash and Burn\u201d which were the nicknames for his brother and himself growing up. They received the nicknames from all their crazy mini-bike and go-cart stunts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/howtocover.jpg\" title=\"How to Draw CARtoons - George Trosley\" rel=\"lightbox[803]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/howtocover.jpg\" alt=\"How to Draw CARtoons - George Trosley\" style=\"width: 200px; height: 178px\" title=\"How to Draw CARtoons - George Trosley\" align=\"right\" border=\"2\" height=\"178\" hspace=\"8\" vspace=\"4\" width=\"200\" \/><\/a>Being the hard worker that he is, Troz refers to himself as an \u201cart prostitute\u201d; he is not scared to draw anything for anybody. His work has appeared in a variety of magazines such as the Saturday Evening Post, Saturday Review, National Enquirer, and New Woman. But he is best known for his car related cartoons in magazines like Car Craft and Street Trucks plus his regular cartoon appearances in Hustler magazine. Because, as Troz says, \u201cGirls and Cars. What else is there?\u201d Troz has branched out from magazines now and you can find his art on everything from t-shirts to signs. You can even get old Krass and Bernie cartoons and How to Draw CARtoon Cars on CD. One of the things I really love about Troz is he will also create a cartoon of your ride any way you want it and for a reasonable<a href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/clip_image001.jpg\" title=\"George Trosley with his \u201839 Ford Sedan\" rel=\"lightbox[803]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/clip_image001.jpg\" alt=\"George Trosley with his \u201839 Ford Sedan\" title=\"George Trosley with his \u201839 Ford Sedan\" align=\"left\" border=\"2\" height=\"287\" hspace=\"8\" vspace=\"4\" width=\"423\" \/><\/a> price. He has drawn several for me already and each one is better than the last! Be sure to visit his website (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.georgetrosley.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"George Trosley's website and store\">http:\/\/www.georgetrosley.com<\/a>) for information on all his great stuff.<\/p>\n<p>But Troz doesn\u2019t just draw cars, he drives them. His current ride is a \u201939 Ford Sedan. It is powered by a 400 Chevy Small block pushing an automatic transmission and a 9\u201d Ford rear. Up front is a Mustang II front suspension setup. Topping it off with a killer Alpine sound system makes this car a real cruiser.<\/p>\n<p>Want to hear George Trosley tell many of his humorous stories about starting out?
