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!

Dave Currier's Simon and the Pieman

(c)2012 David Currier

  I usually don't promote other's art on this blog but I have to take exception.  My good friend David Currier has started creating comic strips in the a traditional fashion using ink on paper.

 He is very talented and you should check out the other comic strips he has created here.
If you look to the right you will also see his other art website!

Spider Man

(c) 2012 Dave Currier & Ralf Schulze

I am finally getting back into doing my art after a very busy summer...

I went to my good friend, Dave Currier's studio last weekend and we did what we usually do when we get together, talk about what's happening in our lives and then go out to his well equipped and spacious studio to listen to music we both like, partake of fine adult beverages and most important, do some art!  We did many (5or so) collaborative pieces, but the only one we considered finished is this one!

It is on 8.5 x 11 red card stock (acid free) and has charcoal, white oil pastel, acrylic paint and stenciled spray paint.

Digital Doodle Art

Wow!  So it's been a few weeks since I posted and I wish I posted instead of not.
My Life has been busy with family, work and other things that made me put the art stuff on the back burner (in other words: "Still cooking and not forgotten").
But here, for you're enjoyment, are some digital doodles I've done during the year so far.  I am not good at "art" with a mouse.
these were done in response to a good friend's digital "doodles".  I did them during lunch breaks using windows 7 Paint.

Flaming Rock Star!

(c)2012 Ralf Schulze

I cannot tell if this is done or not

It has been around for months, saying "hey, what about me?"

So I added some lines and here we go.

I've recently discovered that I like art that "seems, or looks" UNFINISHED!

Do you think it needs more or can it stand on it's own?

Please comment!
