by Rob Smith, Jr. on Apr.23, 2020, under Books, Illusration
Off the top of my head illustrated three main characters of books I’ve just finished.
First is Cluny Brown of the book with the same name by Marjery Sharp.
The next is a drawing with no reference of Thomas A. Edison. I just finished ‘The Edisons of Fort Myers’ by Tom Smoot.
The last is the evil, madman, Warren Latch, of ‘The Loner: Brutal vengeance’ by William Johnstone.
All ink on paper. No pencils. No plan. Just started drawing.

Ha-Ba-Da-Bee Live Drawing – Saturday – 3pm!
On my Facebook/RobSmithJr page!
I’ll be live creating an illustrated story entirely based upon the interactions I have with those of you that tune in.
No telling what will happen and what i might draw!
I’ll be over in my neighbor’s garden with the babbling fountains…where i’ll be babbling, too.
Forecast is for rain. If that happens, i’ll move it all inside….
and babble there instead.
I have some news to babble about.
Below, please type a thing or two I might start with to create the story.

Part of the finished annual Swampy’s Florida Christmas print!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Dec.10, 2019, under Illusration
Here’s the finished illustration of my 2019 Swampy’s Florida Christmas print. Lots included in this one.
The location this year being the 1957 Milton Bakery in Milton, north of Pensacola.
I hope to be hitting the road starting Wednesday to get the prints out personally to certain locations in Florida. If you would like one, let me know and I’ll see if i can drop one off to you personally or something like it. Mailing individual prints got rough to do due to expense and the damage done these days by the postal service.
This will be available soon via Fine Art America. That way the print can be received in excellent shape.
My projects in progress: Swamp Walking!

Reworking an earlier drawing for one item. I put this together for watercolor. I’ll be doing still another version Wednesday.
My newest watercolor painting! – August 31st, 2019
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Sep.01, 2019, under Cartooning, Illusration
Here’s the watercolor painting I did for my step-daughter, Amber, for her baby shower that happened earlier to day in Mount Pilot, North Carolina.
It’s 11″x14″ watercolor on Crescent board. Inked with various brush pens. I sure miss the Arches watercolor board.
Had to do this pretty quickly. Most of the animals shown were also figurines on the cake for her.
