I used a lot of white marker on a thick green card stock. along with color pencil and ink marker.

Happy summertime Art!

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.

"Bug Eye Guy" Welded Bronze Sculpture

(c)1988 Ralf Schulze

Made this sculpture in 1988 from bronze casting scraps and an old Baush & Lomb eye testing machine part.
He's about 12 inches tall, 10 inches wide and 14 inches long.
His right "eye" is adjustable... it can rotate (see last three pics)
I just took these photographs today.

Another shot.

Post: Every-Other-Day 2015

Happy New year to all and welcome to my new-years-resolution-style-posting-rules:

Okay, On a whim I decided to post something every other day this year in response to my pal, Hal Weaver's vow to post an Image-a-Day!  there is a slight difference and I think I have a disadvantage, but that;s okay.
Hal will post an image a day.
My blog was started and continues to be only My art (old and New).  But now with a slightly new challenge of posting something every other day!  This is really good to get my creative juices going, so I sat down and started and continued some works in progress for a couple of hours.  But I did not finish anything. not to worry.

  So I will post some of my Illustrated Christmas Cards of the past to fill this initial void.

My apologies to anyone who is sick of Christmas stuff.... I don't care . . .  I don't have may folks looking at this blog.  It is mostly to get me to make more art and get it out there!


So, here is a rubber stamp I carved of Frosty the Snowman gone Fishing.  I did it on one of those silly "BigMistake" erasers you could buy for $1 in the 1990's.   It's about 4.5" tall and I added some fish on the sides using a rolling stamp I bought!  I sent a bunch of these out to friends, back in 1995 (+/-2 years) as postcards for Christmas!

L - Stages

 As a "painted only" work, this was waiting for me to embellish for a while.
Then it became obvious and i finished it a few days (finished mid February).
Only now getting to post it.
same old 8.5 x 11 acid free colored card-stock paper.
I only used Acrylic paint and Prismacolor pencil to create this(Surprise!  No Ink!).
It is currently framed with a bright red Ikea frame and looks fabulous hanging on my wall in the hall!
