August 22nd, 2011 – Lots o’ artwork!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Aug.23, 2011, under Cartooning, Illusration, Sketchbook
Had a dental emergency last Friday which threw behind a stack of artwork I needed to get done. So I jumped on Justin TV and knocked out some 30+ illustrations in about five hours. Included in that are the two cartoons shown here. The one above is taking in two suggestions from watchers on Justin TV and quickly coming up with a funny scene. Above is involving Terisa Glover’s “Rollerblading” and Joe Read’s “Boxer”.
Below is a second one from Read and a friend also watch Justin TV. There suggestion involved their Aunt and flowers.
Below is a bunch of the artwork I drew today.

During the Justin TV broadcast asked for two contributions from those listening. “Artform” provided ‘tripping on a shoelace’ and “Filler1008″ wrote ‘Chef”. I took it from there and the artwork is above.

Been promising a Dean Martin drawing to my friend Cathryn Grayson and was able to get it in today. The 7th would’ve been Dean’s 94th birthday. I’m a huuuuuge fan and hope one day to get to the annual Dean Martin Festival in Dean’s hometown of Steubenville, Ohio.
March 26th, 2011 – Hikin’ & Sketchin’!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Mar.28, 2011, under Florida Outdoors!, Sketchbook
Saturday was ‘Take a Hike, Florida’ day! I joined in at the Grand Opening of the Charles Bronson State Forest in east Orange County near Christmas, Florida. There was a great turnout for the hike and the trail is EXCELLENT! It was great to run into a number of Florida Trail Association friends. As I hiked, I sketched. Above is one where I kept walking and sketching.
Here are some photos!:
June 8, 2009 – SATW – The Citadel & Flowers!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jun.15, 2009, under Friends, Other Travels, Sketchbook, Various

The next morning (the 8th) was a breakfast meeting for the SATW. I went out and got a photo of one of two neon signs left in Downtown Charleston.

The first of our tours of Charleston was to The Citadel.

I loved these hand painted metal soldiers. I wish I had that kind of patience to paint such intricacy!…Well, a lot of people wish I had that kind of patience!

The second tour was to Magnolia Gardens. Below is a page of sketches made there.

Below is a few photos from Magnolia Place.
