The art is drawn on vellum bristol and inked using a series of felt tip and brush pens.

July 20th, 2013 – 90th Birthday Wishes!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jul.20, 2013, under Buddies, Caricatures, Cartooning, Friends
My friend, Ann Archer, turns 90 and a big party is planned today. Here’s the birthday card I painted for this very patriotic woman. She has served in various political posts for decades in Dade and Marion Counties here in Florida. She still is active today despite mobility issues. She’s a great lady with a great sense of humor, something that seems to maintain a long life. Another friend, Lucile Fair, is 105 1/2 and loves to laugh and see the fun in life. We probably all need to smile more in life and Ann and Lucile are examples of that.
