Eat A Peach

(c)2009 Ralf Schulze
2 years ago in C'ville at my friend's studio, I painted over the Allman Bros. album cover Eat A Peach.  I liked it enough to put it in a frame and hang in my cubicle at work.

Finally took a picture of it!

New Changes to This Art Blog of Mine!

Thanks for Looking at my revamped artblog.  For more than 4 1/2 months I've been pretty good at posting a piece of my art every day.  It has been fun and a challenge too. 

This will still be a place for me to post only my art.  But I can't do it every day anymore.  My work schedule and time constraints have increased lately and I will now just try to post 3 posts per week.

But there are a few cool changes to the blog:
  • If you scroll down on the right you can signup to get an email every time I post something new!
  • Near that, there is a video thing where you can watch my youTube videos.
I hope that you will keep looking at my stuff.  I do not make a living off my art, but if you are interested in
anything you see and want to make an offer, please don't hesitate!

This is a "mash-up" of two of my images, that seemed to go together!

Quick Doodle at work

(c)2011 Ralf Schulze
A quick doodle I did at work today when I discovered that the black ballpoint pen I was using was really juicy.

I just flowed from my fingers and is only about 3" tall.

Postcard Painting Sketches

(c)2011 Ralf Schulze
Last year I bought a pad of "Acrylic Painting Paper"  it's kind of odd but I like it.
It is thick paper embossed with a fake canvas texture, and to top off the oddness, the size is 6" x 12" .
I've used it for ACEO's and some other things, but last month I realized that I can make 3 postcards... (standard postcard size in USA is 6" x 4")
So I decided to do this as a whim while painting other stuff.

These are pencil and Acrylic paint.  I might or might not add to them. . . .

Rectal Spirits

(c)1985 Ralf Schulze
Very, very early comic.
Very stupid bathroom humor.
Marker on paper.   Approx. 5" x 8"  
Before I ever used Zip-a-tone.

Top is the original pencil and acrylic sketch on paper (approx. 2.5" x 10")

bottom is the final (destroyed) painting on masonite and  2 x 4's  approx 6 feet long.

I knew the size I was going to paint on and sketched it accordingly.

FISH of LIFE sketch

(c)2009 Ralf Schulze
This is from my current sketchbook which actually goes back to June 2008. This is a pencil sketch  approx 7" x7" .  The sketchbook is very beige (almost grocery bag color)  You might recognize the subject matter from an ACEO I have on etsy HERE!

A Photo of Me

Here is a photographic self portrait  with the monkey temporarily off my back.  (also Larry the leper is on hiatus from buggin me and seems sedate to hang high on the wall behind me (thanks Hal).

I did this because my pal Hal Weaver did a photo self-Portrait on his blog, and I haven't shown my horrible Colonel Sanders beard that I recently let take over my usually fatheaded ugly face.

This is also an excuse for not posting to my "daily" blog for the last few day..... I just have been in a "not so good mood".  Forgive me or not.  I don't care right now.

The start on something new from last weekend in C'ville

This is on 14" x 18" old slightly warped old canvas board (the absolute limit in size for any reasonable canvas board)

But I like it and it's new and I'm ready to change things!
