Look! I can draw Non-Abstract too!

This would be a cool envelope to receive a card in!

The "Cloud" card

This took the most time!

but it was worth it!

Fine Old Drawing title: "20 X 20"

(c)1986 Ralf Schulze

So, I used to work at a bronze art foundry where they made sculptures for artists in the very classic lost-wax method.  The company was Tallix and most people who worked there were also artists who were "struggling" including myself. 
At the time (1986) I was starting to draw mini-comix and I was participating in a lot of Mail-Art also.  And I came up with the idea of Tallix Funnies.   It was a great way to make fun of your co-workers, bosses and the artists who were essentially the "customer" of the foundry.  I did most of the first issue, but many talented people began contributing a lot of cool comics.
But I digress,  I wanted to get all 10 + 1 issues of Tallix Funnies on-line.  So I made a request on the Facebook page called Ex-Tallix employees for some help finding issues I no longer had.
Darren Lewis sent me a bunch of old issues along with the shown artwork of mine that I gave him all those many years ago.  I don't know what 20 x 20 means... maybe 20 horizontal lines -by- 20 vertical lines....
So that was an odd and long-winded  story to how I got back this old art of mine. 
It is ink marker and color pencil on 9 x 12 cardstock white paper.
I like how I made the circles appear with out being explicit.

 Newest addition!  started in February in Charlottesville (see start pic below)!  Same old acrylic paint, ink and color pencil on 8.5 x 11 acid-free colored paper!
This one was fun and just finally jumped at me after I looked at it in the mirror and saw the vertical potential.  But i signed it at an angle so it can be hung horizontally if the buyer desires.  For sale, of course, just email me at aardvarkf@yahoo.com!

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!
