“STILL!” This week’s “Throwback Thursday” effort. Sketched from a photo I took of a protester with a clever sign, back in 1/2018. Still pertinent,l but with 8 more years of astonishment! Drawn with a Lamy Safari fountain pen. #lobstartstudios @tom.brudzinski #protedt #protester #throwbackthursday

“AFTERNOON WITH BETSY” A bunch of quick sketches during the Sunday afternoon meetup of the Maine Drawing Exchange, high above the Thirsty Pig in the Old Port. Betsy was the figure drawing model. The sketches were achieved with a variety of pens on a series of pages in a 11” x 14” CANSON sketch pad. #Lobstartstudios @tom.brudzinski #mainedrawingexchange #figuredrawing @betsyshapes

“SPARK-L” Another historical piece that also qualifies as a certifiable “Skunkworks” effort. Drawn with a Lamy Safari fountain pen, then scanned and reversed to amplify the impact. . #lobstartstudios @tom.brudzinski #skunkworks #sparkle #spark-L

“SKETCHING WHILE SIPPING” THE Thursday morning Sketchmob returned again to the new coffee shop in Freeport, now called “MADE.”’Sketched stuff around me with a an EAGLE “324 Draughting” pencil with watercolor added in a 6” x 8”.

“EARTH:SHAPES & COLORS”’A few of the hardier members of the Tuesday afternoon Sketchmob gathered at “EARTHA” in the Garmin Bldg. in Yarmouth . The tool I employed to capture my impressions of elements of my view of the world’s largest revolving and rotating globe was an EAGLR “314 Draughting” pencil. Watercolor added with a PRINCETON brush in an 11” x 14” CANSON Mixed Media sketchbook. #Lobstartstudios @tom.brudzinski #eartha #eagle314draughtingpenciil

“AT THE ORCHARD” The Thursday Morning Sketchmob returned to the Orchard house, which has become a favorite place. My first effort at the café itself seemed a bit flat and and uninteresting. Upon further review at home, the image of beings also present started to appear. (Lower left). Then of course, there is the obligatory sketch of the Mke! #lobstartstudios @tom.brudzinski #orchardhouse #coffeehousesketch

Just found out that one of my pieces of art will be part the Brunswick Pop-Up Art Show of the Union of Maine Visual Artists. It will run Feb. 2nd -27th at the Curtis Memorial Library. #lobstartstudios @tom.brudzinski #umva #curtismemoriallibrary #artshow

“WOMAN FROM HIVE” I recently participated in an on-line drawing-from-a-reference/photo ZOOM session on “Drawing Hive.” This is my take on the lady pictured, done with an EAGLE “314 Draughting” pencil and watercolor. #lobstartstudios @tom.brudzinski #drawinghive #eagle314draughtingpenciil #drawingonline

“TAOS” This week’s “Throwback Thursday” is a watercolor study I did in 2018. The subject of a “Virtual Sketchwalk” was this magical New Mexico town. The line work was achieved with an EAGLE ”Draughting” 314 pencil with the water color added with a Princeton brush. #LobstArtstudios @tom.Brudzinski #throwbackthursday #watercolor #virtualsketchwalk
