by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jul.02, 2015, under Cartooning, Swampy's Florida
Here’s the color version of the drawing I posted last night!
Trilby is strolling through the woods to a picnic and is bothered by an intruding alien & his transportation device. The lone extraterrestrial inquires as to the nearest burger joint. Trilby points the way to the The Burger Inn, though, in truth, he’s not quite sure where he is at the moment.
June 25th, 2015 – Swampy’s Florida History Talk!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jun.25, 2015, under Florida History!, Swampy's Florida
Gave a talk today in Dunnellon of local and statewide Florida heroes. It was one of my typical full-of-energy free-for-alls. Had a great crowd! Even signed/drew in some Swampy’s Florida Dunnellon books!
I drew many things. Including the elusive Florida Long-Tailed Flying Gargoyle.
I’m giving more talks in the next month in Marion and Pasco Counties. I’ll post more next week! Maybe some of you all can come!
