In The End

(c)1988 Ralf Schulze
A crazy, big (9 x 12) drawing with ink.  I was in a mode to do "Blind" drawings and then add to them.
That is why Dinky Doo looks odd... I drew him with my eyes closed.

"In the end, the future is Death"
"None of us will get out of Here alive!"

Another Envelope Art

(c)2013 Ralf Schulze
Titled "Fourth Reunion" and it's the same size and media as the others (click here). Media being ink and color pencil.... Love that kraftpaper color as a base...

Delirium

I started this one on a bigger 12 x 12 acid-free card stock (made for scrap-booking) and trimmed it down to my standard 8.5 x 11.
The usual acrylic paint, ink and Color pencil.
Let me know what you think!

The "Cloud" card
This took the most time!

but it was worth it!


Fine Old Drawing title: "20 X 20"

(c)1986 Ralf Schulze
So, I used to work at a bronze art foundry where they made sculptures for artists in the very classic lost-wax method.  The company was Tallix and most people who worked there were also artists who were "struggling" including myself. 
At the time (1986) I was starting to draw mini-comix and I was participating in a lot of Mail-Art also.  And I came up with the idea of Tallix Funnies.   It was a great way to make fun of your co-workers, bosses and the artists who were essentially the "customer" of the foundry.  I did most of the first issue, but many talented people began contributing a lot of cool comics.
But I digress,  I wanted to get all 10 + 1 issues of Tallix Funnies on-line.  So I made a request on the Facebook page called Ex-Tallix employees for some help finding issues I no longer had.
Darren Lewis sent me a bunch of old issues along with the shown artwork of mine that I gave him all those many years ago.  I don't know what 20 x 20 means... maybe 20 horizontal lines -by- 20 vertical lines....
So that was an odd and long-winded  story to how I got back this old art of mine. 
It is ink marker and color pencil on 9 x 12 cardstock white paper.
I like how I made the circles appear with out being explicit.

Neuro-Quest

(c)2013 Ralf Schulze
 Newest addition!  started in February in Charlottesville (see start pic below)!  Same old acrylic paint, ink and color pencil on 8.5 x 11 acid-free colored paper!
This one was fun and just finally jumped at me after I looked at it in the mirror and saw the vertical potential.  But i signed it at an angle so it can be hung horizontally if the buyer desires.  For sale, of course, just email me at aardvarkf@yahoo.com!

Tense Sunrise

(c)1985 Ralf Schulze
I found a stash of old Paintings/Drawings I did back in 1985-86 when I lived in Bronxville NY and worked at Tallix in Peekskill.
They are of the same media combination that I still prefer:  Acrylic paint, Ink and Color Pencil on paper. . . . . . . go figure!
It is a good bunch of work, usually on 9 x 12 paper(so some are slightly cropped, since my scanner is only 8.5 x 12)
I'll just post a bunch in the next day or two.
They are for sale if you like any!  Just ask!
