#INKtober #24 – More Wedding Caricatures! – October 24th, 2015
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Oct.25, 2015, under Caricatures
#INKtober #24 – Been doing the caricature thing here in Downtown St Cloud for a wedding! Found a fellow who’s also a big old movie buff. Especially the gangster flicks.
This woman is AMAZING! She and her husband raised 10 children – 6 adopted while both having full time jobs AND volunteering for organizations!!! She and her husband moved to our state of Florida and, unfortunately, her husband died. Now in retirement, she finds herself still in the mode of her earlier life filling all of her time volunteering and still raising two of her children. Here’s a mother of the century nominee! — at Downtown St.Cloud.

Monique tells of her family’s trip along the Silver River this past weekend. Including being terrified when she found monkeys along the way! I explained of how monkeys got loose during filming of Tarzan films in the 1930s and that their descendants live along the river today.
Dotty enjoys oil painting landscapes of her native Pennsylvania these days.
Jaime rescues squirrels, loves horses and hates spiders!

Back to painting after a week of broken down car and exciting projects involving Apopka, Florida! Thanks to Orange County School Board member, Christine Eckers Moore! Here’s a small sample of the overall painting. Hoping to have it finished Sunday.
So much going on Saturday, hope to get other artwork done!
Been hanging around this evening working and getting great vittles at Angel’s Soul Food. If you’re near Tavares, you need to stop in for their smothered chicken!

by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jul.23, 2015, under Caricatures, Cartooning, Florida Outdoors!
Meant to post these earlier! This one of 5 paintings I did for the speakers at an event our group, Silver Springs Alliance, had back in May. As each speaker spoke I illustrated what they were speaking about. LAter I added watercolor.
Here’s the one for, Florida folk singer/Sierra Club leader/all around good guy, Whitey Markle. He covered a great deal of territory and it was fun for me, knowing the area so well, to poke further fun at it all in the artwork. Each painting is given to the speakers as a “Thank you!” for coming out and helping more Florida citizens learn more about our water problems in our great state.
(Been meaning to post more, but have been on the road again! Lots going on the next few days. I should be posting a lot more.)
July 8th, 2015 – Florida Heroes History talk & Batman on a rocket! What a combination!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jul.09, 2015, under Cartooning
Gave another Florida History Heroes talk at the Fort McCoy Library in Marion County this time. I spoke about Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and her writings that help depict and preserve the area around Fort McCoy. There’s Henry Plant whose steamboats traveled the nearby Ocklawaha River. There’s also President Richard Nixon who acted on the efforts of others to stop something that would have transformed the entire area….but you’ll have to come to a talk to find out what that was. smile emoticon
At these talks I strongly urge, and have available, books on the subjects that can be checked out. We need to support our library to encourage reading!
Wrapped up with a drawing that’s subject matter is based upon the answers by an audience member. The little fellow below proposed a rocket ship and Batman. Below is the drawing.
Next stop is this Saturday at the Reddick Library in north Marion County at 2pm. If you’re in the area, come on by!
Here’s where I’ll be:
Reddick Public Library
Address: 15150 NW Gainesville Rd, Reddick, FL 32686
Phone:(352) 438-2566
Big thanks to my pal Natalie Lyons, with the Reddick Library, for arranging these Marion County Public Library System – FL talks!
July 2nd, 2015 – My Color Version of the Creature in the Woods!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jul.02, 2015, under Cartooning, Swampy's Florida
Here’s the color version of the drawing I posted last night!
Trilby is strolling through the woods to a picnic and is bothered by an intruding alien & his transportation device. The lone extraterrestrial inquires as to the nearest burger joint. Trilby points the way to the The Burger Inn, though, in truth, he’s not quite sure where he is at the moment.
