Last week Bryan Williams contributed Lake Okeechobee. In my running around, I turned that into The Everglades. Here I correct that.

Bryan Williams contributed Lake Okeechobee as a Florida location for Swampy and his friends.
Feel free to suggest a Florida location below.
I just drove through there Monday and needed no reference to draw the river of grass with Swampy amking his way through with Ortona, the egret, Trilby taking to water. Zuber and Alva hitch a ride.
Inked with a Kuretake and Pentel Stylo.

#Inktober #2 – Swampy’s Florida at Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area at Flagler Beach.

#Inktober #2
Swampy’s Florida at Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area at Flagler Beach.
Swampy and the gang encounter the ghost of Gamble Rogers!
Feel free to list Florida locations you’d like to see me draw the gang at for Inktober!
Melanie King recommended Flagler Beach where the Gamble Rogers park is part. The park is named for Gamble Rogers, one of Florida’s great folk troubadours. Through his music and story telling he created Oklawaha County and a slew of characters that inhabited the fictitious area of Florida he created.
Gamble died where the park is trying to save a young person drowning. Unfortunately, Gamble died a hero.
Gamble’s music is a bit hard to come by these days. As is so much of Florida folk.
One reliable place to find it is at my friend Peter B. Gallagher’s Florida FOLK SHOW on WMNF radio and online.
Peter also has weekly live Florida folk in St Petersburg on Tuesday night. Check the page to learn more.
I have video of the artwork being inked I’ll post later.

I’m starting on time this year! Let’s see if I can make all 31 days. It will be tough. i have an extremely busy month ahead.Many of these will be from the road.
I figured this year to have my Swampy’s Florida characters be a part of the illustrations. But I want to include you all, too!
Please post places below, current or in the past, around Florida and i’ll build a list of 30 locations to place Swampy, the swamp ape,Trilby, the baby alligator, Zuber, the cat, Alva the mouse,and maybe a few others.
Here’s one of my ‘Perelman’ comic strips. More to come.
