A very rough sketch of a commission project that ties in with my love of film noir. 

Swampy and the gang wish everyone Happy New Year and best wishes for 2016!!!

‪#‎HappyNewYear‬

Swampy’s #Florida # Christmas stops at Dixie Crossroads Seafood Restaurant! Nabbed me some yummy rock shrimp! 

I couldn’t decide which of these two to post, so here they both are. These two are from the December 15th edition of the St. Petersburg Times.

Gasoline Alley began waaaay back in 1918 and is still produced today! You can find it here:

Wally Bishop created and drew ‘Muggs and Skeeter’ from 1927 until 1974. You can learn more about him here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wally_Bishop

Interesting that most everyone involved with these two strips lived a good deal of their lives here in Florida.

Was doodling funny pictures for a private party at the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orange County Friday night.

Here’s the deal!
Just like the other paintings you’ve seen I’ve done, I will create an original watercolor painting based in a park with critters, including ones of your choosing, involved in a humorous scene.

$100 for a 16″ x 20″
$50 for a 11″ x 14″
$25 for a 9″ X 12″
Each is a watercolor painting on Arches watercolor board.

You can leave the request in the comments section below or in a private message or e-mail: projects@robsmithjr.com. Feel free to call me to request, also: (407) 880-1128.

#‎DailyInks‬ #21 – Been at Silver Springs State Park for their Fall Festival & Critter Run working on a new painting.

Really I’m re-starting a painting I began a few months ago. Had to rearrange the elements to better show the natural area of the setting, Melbourne Village. Got the pencil part set and added a bunch of ink. A few more hours and I can add paint!

Inking this with a ballpoint pen to prep for watercolor.

Been entertaining at a private event, here, in Lakeland, Florida this evening. Now at an IHOP penciling a last minute editorial cartoon assignment for a very good cause! Part of that will likely be my Daily Inks for tomorrow.
Caricatures inked with Markettes and a Kuretake brush.

#DailyInks #7 – The black and white version of Sunday’s Swampy’s Florida Happy day art. Pasco Pete, Penney and Greg Gray find themselves with a Hight bear on their tail.

Light inking for the day. This is my inked drawing for Thursdays Swampy’s Florida Happy day. Pen hits paper hard Thursday as I have a bunch of artwork to get done and have some great meetings to attend to get it done at!

Part of a political cartoon I’m working on right now!

Inking was mostly a PITT Medium pen. A little Kuretake brush.
