Young Art Teacher's Wreck Book 1

1985
sent this to pal who was working as a substitute art teacher in 1985.  They were tough times.  just like these days.
Thanks Bill for sending this back for me to post!

Pure cut and paste / collage style stuff.  A wonderful thing of the past.
Let me know if you find the vintage BattleStar Gallactica sticker hidden in this series!

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!

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!

Lost scapes

(c)1985 Ralf Schulze

While living in Bronxville and working in Poughkeepsie at a Fine art bronze sculpture foundry (Tallix), I created a large set of acrylic, ink and prismacolor pencil on color paper works (possibly a total of 30 or so works)

Here is one on a subtle purple paper.  It's 13 in. x 20 in.

Top is the original pencil and acrylic sketch on paper (approx. 2.5" x 10")

bottom is the final (destroyed) painting on masonite and  2 x 4's  approx 6 feet long.

I knew the size I was going to paint on and sketched it accordingly.

Devil in the Details

(c)1985 Ralf Schulze

This is a very recent photo of an old painting.  Taken while up in Bainbridge NY (Easter weekend) at the house I've been trying to sell for less than 70,000 dollars (for the past 3 years!), and I still have a lot of my old art there.   
This is an old favorite.

Oil, and Enamel and Sharpie on stretched canvas and framed with white painted pine slats!

It is 36" x 40"

This one is worth the zoom in to see the cool details!

Calm Splats

(c)1985 Ralf Schulze

The perfect combination of luck and control to create these splats was so fun! 

And I knew exactly when it was finished!

Oil, acrylic, and enamel spray paint on stretched canvas.  27" x 32"  framed with thin pine slats.
