Here’s my inked doggie for the Jane Gang Unleashed! – June 3rd, 2018

Here’s my inked doggie for the Jane Gang Unleashed!
The Jane Gang Unleashed sounds like just another of the multitude of vicious gangs that roam all parts of #Florida looking to destroy us all.
In this case the Jane Gang Unleashed is a trio of musicians who play folk music. The leader of the Gang is a pup named Jane.
Thus the illustration of a strumming canine above.
You can hear and learn more about the Jane Gang Unleashed here:

The illustration is for their t-shirts & other collateral materials.
A color version is coming soon!
The Gang also includes one of my co-workers at Orlando City Hall from years ago, SusieCool Foster-Trewick.

Continuing to alter my way of drawing my caricatures. – January 24 – 27, 2018
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jan.29, 2018, under Caricatures, Cartooning
On my way to Cocoa Beach on January 24th to perform for a wedding I felt a developing cold. By the time I got there, I had a cold – and still have it. But, the show must go on! But could I continue my further altering my approach to caricature to some thing a bit more comic-booky illustration?
Somehow I did, in between sneezing and feeling awful. After the 24th event I rested and did all I could to be prepared for the next event on the 27th. Still sick for this event near Clermont, I really worked at not having a set place for the head and working harder to get each person’s story into the illustration….in between a runny nose and taking in many cough drops.
The 27th event had a lot of young people at it and worked on the larger paper for each. Three of those are the last of the pictures here.
Please let me know how you like this approach. I love, my friend, Trisha Kirby’s response of this approach. “It’s like an entire comic book or illustrated novel wrapped into one image.”
Here are a few from both events:

by Rob Smith, Jr. on Apr.10, 2016, under Caricatures
Day 3 cartooning people’s lives. This time in Tallahassee. Sun got the best of me. That and maybe a few hundred miles of driving over past 48 hours.
So, tomorrow: Time for some Florida exploring and hiking.
Oh, and great to hear from my pal Jackie Mia Joyner today! Glad to get a Lala update!

by Rob Smith, Jr. on Mar.02, 2016, under Cartooning
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: Christmas party fun with caricature!

#DailyInks #22 – Inking Swampy’s Florida cartoons!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.23, 2015, under Cartooning
Had a whirlwind last three days with little rest and lots done! Sunday I inked this set of cartoons for my Swampy’s Florida site.
Inked with a PITT Brush, soft brush and Tombow Fudenosuke hard brush pen.
#DailyInks #12 – Inking a College Professor – November 12th, 2015
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.12, 2015, under Cartooning, Editorials
Thought I’d add a small bit of an editorial cartoon i did tonight. This is the now infamous Melissa Click of the University of Missouri. I’m posting this involving producing the art and not the politics.
Inked with a Kuretake brush, she was easy to draw. Coloring even easier. Drawing so many family members who have red, curly hair over the decades, this was easy! So, I include the color version used in the final cartoon, too.
If you would like to see the whole cartoon, let me know below or in a private message and I’ll send you over to my editorial cartoon Facebook page. I’ve kept it kinda quiet, but you can join in, if you would like.
