Oscar Jackson “Jak” Smyrl, Jr. Papers and Artwork, 1923-2014
Summary of Collection Content and Jak Smyrl Biographical Note:
Best known for his work as the staff artist for The State newspaper from 1955
until 1986, the Smyrl Collection represents the majority Jak’s oeuvre, bringing to the
South Caroliniana Library a vast array of materials that provide a unique insight into the
life of this prolific artist. Containing his countless newspaper illustrations in draft,
complete, and published form, the collection also includes homemade audio recordings,
photographs, freelance artwork, Second World War and post-war correspondence,
personal diaries, childhood sketches, as well as hundreds of drawings and doodles. Pen
and paper may have been the tools of the trade, but for Jak they were lifelong
companions.
Born in Camden on May 5th, 1923 to Oscar Jackson Smyrl and Mary Ann Davis,
Jak was a precocious child whose first drawings were made while sick abed, when
given a pencil and notepad to keep him entertained. He was soon filling notebooks,
textbooks, and any scrap paper he could find with drawings of cowboys and Indians,
3
pirates and ships, animals, daring aviators, cops and robbers, and other images that
filled his young mind. These early drawings provide a keen insight into the foundations
of an artistic career: movement, shadow, and expression are all present. By the age of
13 Jak was taking a correspondence art class, which he continued for the next several
years.
Starting as a freshman at Camden High School in 1937, Jak immediately began
working on the school newspaper The Bulldog, and was the staff artist of this
publication for the next two years. He also later worked on the school yearbook, Gold
and Black, in 1940. In the fall of 1939 Jak decided to try his hand at the trumpet, a
decision that was to have lasting effects. In just a few short months he was playing in
the school marching band, and by November, 1940, he and a few friends had formed a
jive band. The “Sentimental Southerners” were a popular local group, playing for dances
at the Court Inn in Camden and even winning a local amateur contest. Music had
become another form of artistic expression for Jak, and he was to a have a horn near
him for the rest of his life.
In September, 1942 Jak began college studies at Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
focusing on art and Army ROTC. Almost before he unpacked Jak put pen to paper in
the nearest post office and wrote to his family. This letter describes the rush felt at the
beginning of the first semester of college – a series of fees, tests, and orientation still
encountered by today’s students – and opened a floodgate of correspondence that
would continue until well after the Second World War. Jak kept all the letters sent to him
by friends and family, and Mary Smyrl faithfully collected her son’s letters after they had
circulated among his siblings. The result is a circumspect collection that reveals the
4
conversations that took place between a boy and his family. The Smyrls were close-knit,
and each letter conveys the distinctive tone of its author: his sisters were sassy, yet fun;
his mother a woman who missed and worried over her son, soon to be caught up in the
global conflict; and his father, who sagely admonished his boy to “keep everything in
moderation” when faced with the work – and play – offered at college. Jak endeavored
to make his family proud, and soon his artwork appeared in The Auburn Plainsman, the
school’s student-run newspaper.
In March, 1943 Jak received word that he would be ineligible for the Army Officer
Candidate School due to poor eyesight. This was a blow, for Jak wanted every possible
opportunity to advance through the ranks. Taking stock of his situation Jak made a bold
decision, and his next letter home to Camden begins, “it now becomes my pleasant duty
to inform you that you now have a son and brother in the Marine Corps – I joined up this
morning.” Although starting as out as a private, Jak was told that after 4 months of duty
he would at least be able to apply to the Marine Corps Officer Candidate School, and he
decided that it was better to have a slim chance at promotion than none at all. In
addition, he would be allowed to finish his first year of college and spend the month of
June with his family before reporting to Parris Island for Basic Training.
Although life as a “boot” at Parris Island was tough, Jak’s letters home show a
burgeoning admiration for the Marine Corps. “They are tough on us,” he penned in a
spare 15 minutes, “but they keep us clean as [a] whistle, stuffed with plenty [of] good
food – they watch us better than we watch our-selves.” Emerging from Basic Training in
September, 1943, Jak was to stay on at Parris Island for another year, first as a Drill
Instructor and then as coach on the rifle range. Although glad to be near his family, at
5
times Jak grew anxious to join the fight. In September, 1944, he was transferred to
Camp Pendleton, California, to prepare for active duty in the Pacific. Enjoying Los
Angeles on the weekends, memorable events included meeting Gary Cooper, who was
attending a fair incognito, and hearing Tommy Dorsey. Jak finally shipped out in
December, headed for the Pacific Islands. First stopping at Pavuvu, located in the
Russell Islands, Jak eventually participated in the Battle for Okinawa. In a letter dated
April 14, 1945, just days after the battle began, Jak wrote of this time as “the greatest
adventure of my life”, and the descriptions of bombs, strafing, and death seem
somewhat cavalier, even for a young man of 22. Only later, after the surrender was
finalized and military correspondence censorship completely lifted, was he able to
reveal the true horrors of war.
Once the fighting on Okinawa had stopped, Jak turned his mind back to art and
considered future possibilities that the Marine Corps might hold. Artwork he submitted to
Leatherneck Magazine of the Marines, as well as sketches and drawings he had done
for fellow soldiers, had caught the attention of his officers, and his post-war duties
shifted. Jak was stationed in Tientsin, North China, in September, 1945, and eventually
worked with the publications The North China Marine and the Marine Tiger. With these
assignments Jak had his first close interactions with professional journalists. The skills
he acquired during this time in China along with the camaraderie he found in the
newsroom combined to whet his appetite for newspaper work.
Returning home to Camden in March, 1946, Jak attended the University of South
Carolina from that fall until the next May. Although his studies focused on fine art and
one of his paintings was displayed in New York, Jak’s heart was still in the newsroom
6
and he devoted time to the Gamecock, the university’s student-run newspaper. Due to
his artistic success and at the urging of his professors, the next year Jak transferred to
the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, where he felt lonely, isolated, and cold. His letters from
this time lack their usual sunny outlook, and Jak returned home in the spring of 1948 to
finish his degree at USC. After only two months into the fall semester, however, Jak was
encouraged to apply for a position with the State-Record Company. At first hesitant
about foregoing his bachelor’s degree, Jak accepted the job he was offered, and began
his career as a commercial artist.
Jak’s early years with the company were spent working on The State Magazine,
a Sunday supplement over which he and colleague Eugene B. Sloan held free reign.
This period completed Jak’s education in the steps needed to produce a newspaper, as
he and Sloan were responsible for weekly design, development, and layout. Jak would
often produce a piece that occupied the entire cover of the magazine, with some of the
most well loved being those he drew for Big Thursday, the annual Carolina-Clemson
football game. Jak and Eugene burned both ends of the night on The State Magazine
until it was discontinued, and Jak transferred to The State news department in 1955.
Here he was to remain for the next 31 years, producing the humorous artwork that the
newspaper’s readers came to love.
Jak’s official title at the paper was “Staff Artist,” and his responsibilities covered
every conceivable meaning of that phrase, and then some. Not only was he the artist on
the staff, he was the artist for the staff. A reporter working on a big story would tell Jak a
little about the piece, and Jak would use his imagination to fill in any gaps, often taking
days or weeks to produce a single drawing, such as his illustration of the 1964
7
Democratic National Convention. But, more often than not, requests came at the last
minute, and Jak would hurriedly sketch something off. Fortunately, a spirit of office
camaraderie pervaded, and Jak enjoyed working on a deadline. Although happiest
when drawing, Jak also retouched photographs – a delicate art in the age before
personal computers and powerful software – and worked with the color separations
used by the paper when not producing black and white images. In this process the
original artwork was separated into red, green, and blue components, these colors were
then inverted, and a black key was produced from the image to improve shadow and
contrast. This was a time consuming and often difficult procedure, requiring a delicate
and artistic touch to achieve good results. Needless to say, Jak was a master at this
process.
Although Jak did freelance commercial artwork for a number of companies
and groups, including the South Carolina Savings and Loan League, the S.C. Beer
Association, the Christmas cards for various companies, and the Connie Maxwell
Children’s Home, his most iconic freelance piece is the original University of South
Carolina “fighting gamecock” that was, for many years, featured on the floor of the
Carolina Coliseum. Lovers of jazz music, however, may recognize the album covers he
designed and drew for the Larry Conger’s Two Rivers Jazz Band. These covers reflect
the smooth sounds contained within, and one imagines that during sessions – the
musicians playing while Jak drew sketch-notes – that Jak had to resist the temptation to
jump in with his trumpet and join the rhythm section.
In the winter of 1969 Jak looked over at his wife, Betty, and made a spontaneous
suggestion. One phone call to their travel agent and several weeks later they were on a
8
plane bound for Tahiti, the first stop on a round-the-world whirlwind tour that would take
them through the Pacific Islands (including Okinawa, nearly thirty years after Jak had
last been there under entirely different circumstances), across Australia, through Japan,
Hong Kong, and Singapore, on a photo-safari through Kenya, through Egypt, Greece,
and Europe before hopping the Atlantic back into Columbia ninety-odd days later.
Paper, pencil, camera, and Betty by his side Jak documented the entire trip, and he and
Betty worked together on a fifteen-part series for the newspaper when they returned
home, which was published the following spring. In 1972 they completed their visit to
every continent and toured South America, producing a corresponding series of stories.
Filled with alliterations, illustrations, and humorous anecdotes, the stories were
educational, too, as Jak often included the historical background of the locations visited.
After 31 years of working in the newsroom, Jak decided to retire in 1986. The
paper threw a party, Jak played his trumpet, and candid pictures reveal that a good time
was had by all. He and Betty moved to Camden, and Jak devoted his days to music,
poetry, wood carving, and, of course, drawing. Jak often revisited old pieces, retouching
and updating some drawings while personalizing others for friends. Near the end of his
life one final project remained: to combine his love of poetry and drawing. The dream of
completing a book of illustrated ballads was realized, and before he died in August,
2007, Jak was able to review the final manuscript. Random Rimes, published
posthumously by Betty, is filled with Jak’s folksy humor and creative imagination.
By the time he retired Jak’s art was seen by more than 100,000 people daily.
Instantly recognizable for its distinctive style, the passing of his artwork from the pages
of The State was universally mourned by readers and staff alike. Columnist Bill
9
McDonald memorialized the event by writing “he rode off into the sunset with his pen,
ink, sketchpad and erasure…leaving behind a trail of warm memories of a zany talent.
To call Smyrl creative would be to call one of those Internal Revenue forms slightly
taxing.” In June, 2007, the South Carolina General Assembly honored Jak’s creativity by
passing a concurrent resolution thanking him for “lightening the hearts” of newspaper
readers while giving them “insight into important issues,” highlighting the fact that Jak
not only entertained, but in fact illustrated the history of South Carolina as it was
happening. Researchers at the South Caroliniana Library will find that within the Smyrl
Collection personal and professional intertwine, as its materials contain not only the
artwork, but the memories and vibrant creativity of South Carolina’s everyman artist.
Scope and Content Note:
Thirty cartons plus forty-seven oversized, 3” deep flat file boxes, 1923-2014, of
correspondence, personal papers, photographs, and artwork, reveal the life and work of
this South Carolina artist who spent his entire working career (1949-1987) as the
illustrator for The State newspaper.
The single largest unit of materials in the collection consists of Smyrl’s artwork,
most of it primarily created daily for the newspaper. Covering everything from local to
global news, this artwork especially serves to illustrate the history of South Carolina.
Politics, local interest, sports, nature, and other subjects are all covered. In addition to
the work Smyrl completed for hire at the State, the collection contains freelance work,
as well as personal artwork including paintings, doodles, and pieces for friends.
10
The collection also contains Smyrl’s correspondence, including WWII-era letters,
to and from. These detail college life, as well as time spent in the Marine Corp, including
the Battle of Okinawa. Notable correspondents include photographer Tom Nebbia and
occasional notes from South Carolina politicians Strom Thurmond and John Carl West.
Smyrl’s unique tilting desk, originally owned by The State and purchased by
Smyrl upon his retirement, as well as four extra-oversized pieces including two collages,
one painting, and one carving template, are housed in the Thomas Cooper Library
Graniteville Room.
Arrangement Note:
While every attempt has been made to reduce redundancy within the collection,
due to the nature of Smyrl’s creative process as well as an overwhelming lack of dated
material, there are cases where identical or similar items are not located within the
same folder. Furthermore, the various sizes of materials encountered within this
collection necessitate the separating of subjects into several different cartons/boxes. To
facilitate ease of use, a cross-index of subject headings has been included in each
carton/box heading; “C” denotes “Carton,” “OFFB” denotes “Oversize Flat File Box.”
