Mail Art (the back of the envelope)

I made and sent a little mail art envelope to my old pal Hal Weaver.  He posted the front here.
But this is the back.
Bremerhaven is the city I was born in.

Stupid Stamp Strip

(c) 1986 Ralf Schulze

This is from my minicomic, Dinky Stories #2.  Three carved rubber-stamps and some word balloons! (with subtle embellishments)
I was 26 years old and this was my sense of humor then. 
I still think it is funny.
The last panel is a rubber stamp of Dinky Doo, the "poortagonist" of the minicomic.

Why I Have No Ears - Stinky Poo 1989

(c)1989 Ralf Schulze

Back in 1989 I did a lot of comix and had a character named Dinky Doo.
I also used speedball or crow quill tips on a dip pen to ink the comix.  I am a lefty and push my drawing utensil and sometimes when I used a ink pen, it would splat and mess everything up.
I did a bunch of Stinky poo comix and let the splats happen for the fun of it!
This one has never been published (Ha, published! Like my printing out 50 copies of a minicomic was a publication).
If you look close at the 2nd panel, I used an "oops!" rubberstamp I have!

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!
