South Campus Stony Brook Art Studio

(c)1983 Ralf Schulze

Found a sketch recently of a small area of the Stony Brook University Art Studio I shared with Michal Rezanka at the South Campus Area buildings.
This is pencil on, I think, 11 x 14 sketch book paper.
Two major elements are the Japanese style paper lamp and the bulbous odd ceramic sculpture of mine.   You can see these same elements in a painting I did around the same time HERE!
Also there is a odd fish-thing with a human face made by another student, Roseanna, who had a studio next door.

A Photo of Friends

painted over painting

I recently found the last two sketches of my friends and I from 1988 or so.  Of course the sketches transformed them into comic characters!

Fun stuff!
All the drawings are on 14 x 17 sketch paper.
I even started a painting back then based on this photo, but got frustrated and painted it over with something else.
I just found the scan of the old photograph of the painting I painted over!

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.

Versions of Variables

This is on kraft-colored acid free card stock.  Only 5.5" x 4" and I worked on this last night and this evening! 
Ink and color pencil.
Essentially a study in Black, white and sepia tones.
I had fun and let things just flow!

Another Art Book created from old 78rpm Album: "Rombas'

cover

Here is the other one (so far):  It is the same scenario as the previous post and even the same # of pages!

We really had good fun doing these.  It is great to see these in the bright light of day after being in Dave's C'ville barn for a few years!  The albums are 10.5" tall by 12" wide.  Enjoy!

Art Book created from old 78rpm Album: "My Way" Collaboration with Dave Currier

Cover

For the past 6+ years that I've been back n Richmond VA, I've been occasionally driving to C'ville  to make art with my good friend Dave Currier.  I had these old 78 rpm "Albums" that were very popular in their time (1920s-1940s), and they aren't worth anything on ebay. So I trashed the fragile 78 records and we used the cardboard "album" to start art-books (yes there are more than just this one).  Just look through it and enjoy!  We usually worked on our own stuff while sharing Music and other mood altering stuff.  These were worked on with whatever media we were working with on our own work or if you needed to step away from your own work.  Fun and wide open to changing and manipulating each others work.
