November 9th, 2013 – #Dailyinks #8 – Caricature in Tampa!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.09, 2013, under Caricatures, What's New?
This is one of a good 100 caricatures I drew today between two events of 4 hours each in Orlando and Tampa.
November 4th, 2013 – #Dailyinks #3 – Visit Dunnellon!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.04, 2013, under Cartooning, Swampy's Florida
This is a page I inked today as a coloring page give away at the big Ocali Days event starting Wednesday. It was a last minute project, that took a half dozen layouts or so to work out. Inking was the easy part. This is the finished piece already at the printer.
The focus is the city of Dunnellon in western Marion County, Florida, that I’m working on a coloring book for.
November 2nd, 2013 – #Dailyinks #1 – Kitty! Kitty!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.02, 2013, under Cartooning
A Facebook post by fellow cartoonist john Sanford has convinced me to try and continue with something I missed in October – Inktober. Everyday of the month post an inked piece of art. I was on the road so much it was impossible to start. Since this new version of #DailyInks basically started yesterday – by one person, no less – I thought I could jump in and see how far I can take it….hopefully past Thursday!
The first is one of a series of cartoon kitties I drew for a friend who is out to help save homeless kitties.
Most will likely be part of a project I’m already working on. Many may be caricatures. Not sure if I will always post an explanation of the art involved, but will when I can.

by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.01, 2013, under What's New?
Drew caricatures for the Aveda school of hair care and massage in Dunedin on October 19th, to help raise donations for breast cancer. Here are a few of the instructors who were drawn by me that day. Thanks to, long time friend, Jo Ann Fenstermacher for having me there! Above is A.E. Sabo, Jo Ann Fenstermacher and me at the event.
October 2nd, 2013 – Watercolor Caricature Process
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Oct.02, 2013, under Caricatures, What's New?
Above is the prepped version in the process getting the watercolor painting below finished. Above I’ve penciled the caricature incorporating the image of the person’s head and a large amount of information about her to assemble a really personal drawing of who she is.
Adding the ink that won’t run with the watercolor, I prep the art and then add the watercolor.
This artwork was done from start to finish with the client at Beefy king in Orlando, Florida
September 8th, 2013 – University of North Florida Swampy’s Florida Photo!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Sep.08, 2013, under Caricatures, Swampy's Florida, What's New?
Here’s a large group of University of North Florida students with little stuffed Swampy of Swampy’s Florida. I was there to entertain with caricatures and I’ll post later about those.

by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jul.31, 2013, under Caricatures, What's New?
Drew caricatures tonight for a corporate event at the Peabody hotel south of Orlando in Orange County. The event’s attendees were all involved with containing digital information or servicing those who do.
July 29th, 2013 – Swampy’s Florida Artwork

Here’s a bit of art from an upcoming Swampy’s Florida book. More as it comes along. Should be done by the end of the month.
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.
July 18th, 2013 – Here’s the finished painted artwork!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jul.18, 2013, under Caricatures
Yesterday I posted the prepped artwork for watercolor. Here’s the watercolored version.
I’m going to try and post more here. It’ll be tough when on the road. Otherwise, I hope to increase artwork posts to, at least, three to four a week.

Here’s a caricature I’m working on. I worked from a few photographs of each person. It’s penciled and prepped for watercolor, which I’ll add tomorrow. I should be posting the finished artwork tomorrow.
