My illustrating pirates and the lost art.
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Sep.28, 2023, under Illusration
5 years ago I was brought into a Bahama Breeze in Brandon to draw some caricatures. There was a restaurant event involving pirating. Per chance, I had been wanting to illustrate my friend, Linda Ellwood, family story of her early family members that settled during the pirating days in, what is now, Jacksonville.
Here is the illustration that I ad penciled and began to prep for watercolor. I had done all this and caricatures in a couple hours.I drew this on 19″ x 24″ Crecent board.
Later that week I added a bit more to it. Then I had to drive a couple mile somewhere. I was tired and not paying attention. When i got to the destination, I noticed my trunk was open. I had had the illustration in the trunk. It had flown out.
I spent a coupel hours trying to find it, but didn’t It was so big, it’s hard to imagine not seeing it. I have no idea what happened to it.
There is still a hope maybe I hadn’t put it in the trunk and maybe slipped it somewhere in the house.
Currently, I’m disassembling the house.
Maybe I’ll find it!
I’ll let you know if I do!
