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:

A note of the photographs: Had something fading out most all I took. Sorry about that.

Life Coaching Caricatures: Bill the Piano player & Painting Nancy! – April 2nd, 2017
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Apr.05, 2017, under Caricatures, Illusration
I had the opportunity to meet Bill at an event near Spring hill & Weeki Wachee, Florida on Sunday. I met him as he played Stardust and a medley from The Phantom of the Opera. He complained that he missed notes. Sounded great to me. Especially for a fellow of 94 years. Bill drove a tractor trailer most of his career in Canada after his family moved him from England as a teen.
Here’s the watercolor illustration i did of 80 year young Nancy, the birthday girl, who was being honored at the party.
Life coaching caricatures! in Tampa – June 2nd, 2017
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Apr.02, 2017, under Caricatures
A few images of the life coaching caricatures I did at an event Saturday night in Tampa, Florida.
Back in February I figured I’d been posting too many of these event photos and figured I should hold off a bit before posting more. Well, a good 15 events later, here are some more.
The first photo is of Rhoda, who is 3 generations Native Floridian from Tampa in one side of family and 5 generations Native Floridian from around Monticello on the other side. I’m going to help her plan a family reunion near Orlando to see Orange County history and not have folks running off to the kiddie amusement parks.
The next image is of Rhoda’s husband who’s training ng as a boxer includes the 5th Street Gym in Miami. How about that, Tom Orr!

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!
