Unfinished from 1986 - Seeking Collaboraters!

 Here are 3 works I started back in 1986 or so but never finished.  They are all too big for the scanner so I quickly took these photos.   They are on square paper, it is just that they weren't sitting perfectly flat and I took the shots at an angle to avoid flash back.
They are all Acrylic paint and black india ink on fine art paper.
Anyone interested in finishing these or just adding to it collaboratively and I finish it, please let me know!  I have big envelopes (they are actually the back drop of these photos) and I can send it to you!

The Wonderful World of Dinky Doo! (two)

(c)1986 Ralf Schulze

Another fine page from Dinky Stories #2.  Nothing to do with Tallix, but a little to do with current events of 1986.
This is the 2nd page of "The World of Dinky Doo"  ---  The first page was previously posted HERE

Dinky Doo Finisher: Small Talk

Here is the last of the Dinky Doo - Finisher pages in Dinky Stories #2 from 1986.
This is the MiniComic That inspired me to create Tallix Funnies!

Another one page comic from Dinky Stories #2!

Cover of Dinky Stories #2

(c)1986 Ralf Schulze

I was working at the second bronze sculpture foundry of my career Tallix.  This place was really cool.  I was also very much into mini-comics and mail-art at the time.  So I combined things and let them flow. 
This 16 pager was all my art except one page by my pal Ralph M. and a drawing by Dave Herman on the inside cover contents page (he also inspired 2 of the 3 Dinky Doo: Finisher pages.
I will post the other 2 pages of Dinky Doo: Finisher here soon.
The response to this comic inspired Tallix Funnies!

Dinky Doo Finisher - New Bit

(c)1986 Ralf Schulze

Another Dinky stories page.   I love how nearly spontaneous this looks, yet I am sure I stressed a little over some of the details.

All good.  I've got new ideas in mind,
So don't think I'm just filling this blog up with old minicomix pages - day-by-day.

They are good filler - since I can only post my art.

had some hardish times lately  that kept me away from art; with power out on Sunday the 15th and work stress during most of the week and then frozen pipes recently...

Dinky the "doo"

(c)1986 Ralf Schulze

Back cover of "Dinky Stories #2"
I did some playful "blind" drawings of my characters back then in 1986.
This i did with my eyes closed and then added the circle and outlining and cross-hatching.
Purely for fun.

The World of Dinky Doo is Nuts

(c) 1986 Ralf Schulze

Another page from my sophomore effort at a mini-comic back in 1986 - DINKY STORIES #2.

This page is so silly.  I noticed that I forgot Dinky's arms in the bottom left image!  OOPS!

I must have been high on Dinking.

Happy Friday the Thirteenth to everyone.

Stupid Stamp Strip

(c) 1986 Ralf Schulze

This is from my minicomic, Dinky Stories #2.  Three carved rubber-stamps and some word balloons! (with subtle embellishments)
I was 26 years old and this was my sense of humor then. 
I still think it is funny.
The last panel is a rubber stamp of Dinky Doo, the "poortagonist" of the minicomic.

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.

Abstraction on Paper

(c)1986 Ralf Schulze

I did a whole bunch of these Acrylic paint where I outlined the brushwork in india ink, and then added more color with Color pencil. 

They were mostly on colored paper and about 9" x 12" in size I just found 8 unfinished ones (no color pencil yet)

They are essentially abstact studies and experiments in a structured media and style.

The Crazy Glossary

(c)1986 Ralf Schulze

This was an old "poster" I made for the fun of it back in 1986.  I think I sold it to people at my job at Tallix art foundry for like 50 cents each.  It is 11" x 14"  I still have the pen and ink original also, but I wanted to show the faded poster printed in blue on white.

Self Portrait

(c)1987 Ralf Schulze

A curious image sent from an old friend.  It is of a card I created, just for them.  It is a photocopy of myself  reduced and then enlarged to create the "dotness"  [Copy machines in the 1980's were not Digital in any way.]

Then I  printed an image and colored it with color pencil.

Size is most likely Postcard size (6" x 4") based on the "CA" and "N2" stamps on it.

DINKY STORIES 1

(c)1986 Ralf Schulze

The cover of my first "mini-comic" DINKY STORIES.

It was a 'Digest' size which means it was a the size of a standard 8.5" x 11" piece if paper folded in half (5.5" x 8.5).

I had fun and made many self published comics between 1986 and 1992.  Check out the old covers  HERE!

Dinky Doo!!!!
