What a father sets aside – March 2nd, 2016

by on Mar.02, 2016, under Cartooning

2016-0302-ArtPerSmithSr

Interesting what a father sets aside. Found a few decades of my artwork in a box of his. Newspaper art, comics strips, advertising pieces, comic books and personal artwork.

Spent weekend moving my father’s things to my house. Great thanks to brother Jeff Smith, his friend Steve and old pal James Goddard for the enormous amount of help! James even found a 40th birthday comic book I had done for him and his twin brother.

#DailyInks #16 – Inking #cartoon of Uncle Sam and baby!

by on Nov.17, 2015, under Cartooning

2015-1116-DailyInks-BabyUncleSam

This is inked version of an editorial cartoon I’m working on for a client. The cartoon involves a baby being read to by Uncle Sam, as requested. This is a revision of an earlier cartoon. The original had three well known people in it and I had set them to the left due to them being recognizable and most eye catching. When the request came to swap Sam, I realized the baby would be most eye catching and so reversed the entire setting for effect and storytelling purposes.

Inked with a PITT soft brush.
