Another Abstract ACEO

(c)2010 Ralf Schulze
This started out as a test paper for the watercolor for my older ACEOs (scroll down!) but when I showed the actual Set of ACEOs to my friends, they really liked this one. I added to it since then: additional ink and color pencil but the original watercolor is still there.
(1-2-2012) Gave this to my Mother!

A fun little artistic history of mine.

The Original big dry pastel work is approx 9 ft x 6 ft (3 meters x 2 meters). I did it in college (1982) on grey theater backdrop paper. I wish I knew where it was now. I showed it in my first solo show on campus at the Student Union Gallery at Stony Brook (that's where the photo of Mik Rez and I was taken).
From that photo (probably in 1983) I drew the picture (image is 10 in. x 13 in.) using india ink, prismacolor pencil highlights and (originally) black marker which has faded through the years showing pinkish/orange/yellow tints...
I just found the drawing a few days ago and had to make 2 scans and meld them together on the computer. Comments welcome!

My First ACEO (Art Card Editions or Original)

(c)2010 Ralf Schulze
If you do not know about ACEO's, they are Art Cards (2.5 inches X 3.5 inches) {same size as a baseball card!}. Many People make prints of larger originals, therefore the "E" for Editions.

I prefer the "O" for Original because it is a challenge to make a good detailed work of art in this size.
That is the only requirement for an ACEO! The Size. A cool concept and a great challenge!

So here is my first venture into it. I want to sell this and future ones, and I will keep the copyrights to use the image. Drawn in ink and colored in watercolor on smooth, acid-free bristol board.
I gave the finished Art Card to my old friend Bernie in Wyoming!

I did this around 1983-84 when I would sit in on Robert White's life drawing classes at SUNY Stony Brook after I graduated.
