by Rob Smith, Jr. on Sep.22, 2013, under Illusration
Here’s the final inked art from the pencils seen below. You can see I altered a few things here and there I went from pencils to inks. The client also made a few requests involving the lady in the illustration. This is a private commission.

by Rob Smith, Jr. on Aug.27, 2013, under Illusration
Here are the pencils and preparatory art for the watercolor I’m about to add to this artwork. It is a photograph and not a scan of the work. Didn’t have a scanner with me.
This is for a set of Christmas cards and prints available soon. The setting is Key Biscayne, Florida. That’s the Biscayne lighthouse in the background. The size is 11″ x 14″.
I’ll post the finished watercolor version soon.
August 21st, 2013 – Sketches from our monthly Socrates Cafe gathering!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Aug.21, 2013, under Cartooning, Sketchbook
Our monthly Socrates Cafe meeting on Tuesday covered an assortment of topics. Above and below are a series of sketches about the topics brought up. The first was the struggle of selfishness. The second was about how open we should be about our private life. Then the question of where conscience comes from. Next a question of perception….
The next to last discussion was asking where complaints come from. Finally, the standard philosophical question of the connections of truth and beauty.

August 7th, 2013: A “Hump Day” Camel cartoon by me.
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Aug.07, 2013, under Cartooning
Thought I would share this camel on, what many weekly workers call, “Hump Day”.
Drew this last week for educational materials for my friends at “The Knowledge Exchange”, an educational store in Palm Bay, Florida, near Melbourne.
The art is drawn on vellum bristol and inked using a series of felt tip and brush pens.
Below is video at YouTube of me inking the artwork.:

July 21st, 2013 – Lunch with friends Doralya & Craig
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jul.22, 2013, under Buddies, Friends
Had a great, fun lunch today with long time friend Craig Zablo and his wife, Doralya, at Steve’s Famous Diner in Daytona Beach. We talked about Florida travel, education, Jack Davis, Jim Ivey, Sun Bank, etc., etc..
The food and company were excellent!
Thank you, Craig and Doralya!
The photo, above, is of Craig and I. Doralya had to beg off, something about witness protection or something like that. 😀
It was after this lunch and a caricature gig after that I realized how blasted out tired I was. I blew out the bulk of my energy prior to lunch taking a 1.2 mile hike in the heat in a park and literally running around the Downtown cities of Eustis and DeLand taking photos for Swampy’s Florida. Knew I was feeling a bit off during lunch and that was why! Ferget I’m adding the years on and that kind of activity is going to take a toll.
The photos taken should be showing up on the Swampy’s Florida website over the next months. I’ll be making a separate post about the caricature events in the next day or so.
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.
