The Devil's FiddleHead

(c)2011 Ralf Schulze

Finally found some 12 x 12 frames for some of my older work. Nice painted black metal and glass frames.
I posted this back when I finished it, but it was a scan and cropped (see it HERE), but the visual internet quality may be better on the old one.

Anyone want to buy it for $65 framed, let me know!

No Ears

(c)2011RalfSchulze

A doodle / sketch page of aliens and monsters that do not have ears.  Done a few years ago.  Just off the top of my head and quite fast.  I think I was a Meetup of Aspiring cartoonists at the time.  I still keep in touch with them via facebook.

Bob Ross

(c)2011 Ralf Schulze

Just before I went to visit my pal Dave Currier in C'ville last Saturday (a 1.5 hr drive) I was flipping thru channels on TV and came across Bob Ross doing a classic Lake  in the Mountains with Pine trees. 

Anyway, I don't know if it influenced anything but I kept saying "Bob Ross" just for the Hell of it and Dave Wrote down Bob Ross and I made this collage and acrylic thing on Green 8.5" x11" paper.

New Untitled

(c)2011 Ralf Schulze

It's been a while since I posted and I need to get back in the groove.  To jump-start that idea, I went to My pal Dave Currier in Charlottesville VA and we did a lot of art and listening to music while enjoying good food and drink.
This was the first thing I whipped out.  Acrylic on green acid-free 8.5 x 11 cardstock.
Many of the following post will be of small painted sketches I did that same evening!

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!

Quick Doodle at work

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.
