#Inktober #10 – I’ve been drawing Ibis & Mermaids! – October 11th, 2017
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Oct.11, 2017, under Cartooning
#Inktober #10
Inked per requests of David Blair:
“An ibis by a lake grabbing its breakfast from the grass…”
and Stephen Orth:
“Mermaid sitting on a rock singing”
Combined the two. The singing didn’t fit well.

Today started with me feeling like I got out of the wrong side of the planet. I so very much planned and wanted to go see my friend, musician, cartoonist Roy Schneider perform today in Winter Park, Florida. It was even per chance organized by fellow former Orlando City Hall colleague SusieCool Foster-Trewick, who is also a musician.
But the realities of getting projects done and the deadlines involved did me in. That and the mortgage payment due in days. I had a LOT to draw and little time to do it in. So, instead of south to Winter Park, I headed north to Gainesville to a place that has consistently been a location I get tons done and done pretty well: Lollicup.
Why do I even bother to try and draw anywhere else? What the heck is it about this place? I have no idea. But I got it all done with time to spare.
I also went in clouded in a surly mood. About an hour later a dose of Lollicup frozen coffee drink and a combo of Frank, Dean, Sammy and I was brightened again.
I’ll return in a day or so to ink and then there’s all to color in the studio.

Started Sunday at a family church cook-out. St. Theresa Catholic Church in Belleview, Florida, invited our Champions for Champions group to join them. We’d just had a Summer Camp there a couple of weeks ago, where I taught an art class. Always great to have a home made burger, deviled egg and baked beans. Warms my heart to see local folks get together as I have in MacClenny on Saturday and at the church on Sunday. We need more of that!
Went from there and camped out at a Dunkin Donuts working on 3 projects for a few hours. Including this watercolored kitty.
I’ve been drawing manatees!
