Swampy’s Florida at Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area at Flagler Beach.
Swampy and the gang encounter the ghost of Gamble Rogers!
Feel free to list Florida locations you’d like to see me draw the gang at for Inktober!
Melanie King recommended Flagler Beach where the Gamble Rogers park is part. The park is named for Gamble Rogers, one of Florida’s great folk troubadours. Through his music and story telling he created Oklawaha County and a slew of characters that inhabited the fictitious area of Florida he created.
Gamble died where the park is trying to save a young person drowning. Unfortunately, Gamble died a hero.
Gamble’s music is a bit hard to come by these days. As is so much of Florida folk.
One reliable place to find it is at my friend Peter B. Gallagher’s Florida FOLK SHOW on WMNF radio and online.
Peter also has weekly live Florida folk in St Petersburg on Tuesday night. Check the page to learn more.
I have video of the artwork being inked I’ll post later.
