I did this bit of artwork for my friends that make up the band, ‘Jane’s Gang’.
A mascot of the lot was a dog named Jane, thus the name. Years go by and Jane died, but the name lives on.

Don’t remember what I inked this with back then.
The colours are via PhotoShop.

The last two weeks in North Carolina had collected a bunch of scribbles for me to draw from during my live drawing broadcasts over at my Facebook page:

I’ll use one a few times a week during broadcasts.
Broadcasts should resume July 3rd.

If I cross your path, I may ask a Sqiggle from YOU!

This comes from an April Fools post by Bill Dussinger that we was going to move elsewhere from his life time home. Bill had joined the live ‘Chat’ area and I joked of moving to Mars and something was posted that had me place a dog at the helm.

The ‘Chat’ area turned to high school newspapers and my writing film reviews and whether ‘Alien’ was one of those films (It wasn’t). Then Richard Scarry came up (The critters in the window). Then i brought up Martha Ross mentioning on my Swampy’s Florida page of Fleischer Shoes one time being in Downtown Orlando (Ad on side of space ship).

My fun is making it all up, creating a story, ink to paper as I draw! 🙂

ROBbing a Few Minutes: My Drawing Live Sped-Up of ‘Corgi – Space Cadet!’.

Here’s a drawing I inked live using no pencils, no plan, making it up as I drew. Drawn live reacting to the ‘Chat’ comments during the live drawing program, March 7th, 2023. I drew this live using Facebook on my ‘Cartoons by Rob Smith, Jr.’ page.

Drew this with no pencils and made up as I drew.
Drew this live last week here.

Despite my training to draw comic books, i rarely delve much into it, except for my Swampy’s Florida.

Soon I’ll be working on the upcoming Swampy’s Florida comic book soon. Sans super heroes. Lots of fantasy.

Inked this with no pencils, making it up as I drew during Wednesday live over at my Cartoons by Rob Smith, Jr. live broadcast.

This celebrated Spaghetti Day and pulling a card marked ‘Elves’.

To Americans, Leslie Phillips is nearly unknown. In the U.K., Phillips had been one of the longest performing actors until his death Monday at 98. His work is mostly known for comedies of various sorts and popular series, like the ‘Carry On’ and ‘Doctor in…’ films.

His career spanned from the late ’30s to present. Unlike the lofty silliness of the U.S. Hollywood, where a “Star” is relegated to film or television or whatever the stage in life requires, in the U.K. an actor can do whatever they want and do. Phillips would slide from a comedy to a television spot to a serious film to a children’s television spot and back to film again.

He was one of favorite actors that i was tickled was still with us and was routing for him to hit his 100.

I drew and made most of this as I drew as #INKvember #7.
I’m thinking I made add some other actresses and actors still with us and with a long, noted career to my INKvember activities.
That will also aid getting back t caricature, something that has become far more difficult due to the wrist and arm break.

Here’s the drawing I did live Sunday.
Making it up as I went along.

The response to the dragon drawing two weeks ago had me adding one this time.
Scott Shaw! last week typed in ‘Investigator’, which I saw after the live broadcast. Though I’d use it this time.
A call from Marguerite Cavenaugh just as I was to go live had me ask her her favorite animal. Thus, the elephant.
I saw Pam Archer tune in as I started, reminding me of the pineapple statue near where she life in Lake Placid, Florida.
Needed a good name for the savings and loan the dragon was pilfering from. Looking through those watching the broadcast, saw a good, short name that fit. So I swiped it from Melissa Busby.

The live broadcasts have gone well and sure helps me as an exercise of drawing. Especially as I’ve been stepping aside the live gig work.
Thank, you all, who have been tuning in! 🙂

A sped-up version is coming soon!
