On July 28th I introduced the new Florida History text book at The Knowledge Exchange. I conducted to talks. One about cartooning and the other about Florida history. Above are some from the Florida history class.

During the cartooning class I got the attendees to contribute various ideas and we all came up with this scene.

Here’s a close up of the artwork.

Here’s the step by step of the latest Swampy’s Florida print that will soon be available.

Got a bunch of artwork done today in a couple hours. Two editorial cartoons, a bike drawing and the next Swampy’s Florida webcomic.

The folks at the Florida Bibliophile Society were too kind to take up an entire page of their publication with a story about me and the talk I gave about how I construct the Swampy’s Florida coloring books this past February 19th. That’s way too many pictures of me! 🙂

A couple corrections are that I’m not currently a member of the caricature group and that I’m Florida Chapter Chairman of the NCS. Something not shown were the stack of personal books I brought to explain was my extensive use of books to research for each of the Swampy’s Florida coloring books.

Good thing a group about physically published books puts out a physically published magazine! – and it’s extremely well done, too! 🙂

Hard at work on the next Swampy’s Florida Coloring Book and Guide.

Just wrapped the 5th Swampy’s Florida coloring book: A Florida Cracker Christmas. It debuts Friday during First Friday in Downtown Lakeland at The General Store. Rob will be there to sign books from 6pm to 9pm to sign books. Rob will next be at the Christmas celebration at the Florida Pioneer Settlement in Dade City and their Christmas event also signing books.

I’ll be at the 2nd Annual Polk Authors & Illustrators Festival in Downtown Lakeland, Florida, this Saturday signing (& doodling in) Swampy’s Florida coloring books from 9am to 3pm. I’ll also be watercoloring a few Florida images there, too! If you’re in the area, stop by and say ‘Hi!’

Introduced the newest Swampy’s Florida coloring book Saturday at a back-to-school event in Marion County at our Springs Festival tables. This new coloring book features the springs in Marion County and illustrates how a spring operates. Over 500 coloring books were given out to young folks that came through the events. All in conjunction with promoting the upcoming Marion County Springs Festival, September 24th.

Above is me before the event started with a couple of helpers. Below is the organizer of our Springs Festival contribution, Lisa Saupp, with a coloring book  that I drew a drawing for her in.
