Cool find from 1983

 My old friend in Florida sent me this scan of one of my pieces I gave him back around end of college days.
And guess what, it is 8.5 x 11 with acrylic, ink and color pencil!  The size and media I've always been into!

... and The Holy Ghost

(c) Ralf Schulze

Been creating these Ink and color pencil only pieces in a "cross/plus-sign" composition lately and this is one of my favorites!
I am not religious in any usual way, but always am open minded and think that our human existence is the most profound thing in this world.  Not to mention that the Golden Rule is always the best idea.

I also believe that if YOU are offended, That is your personal issue, not the offender's.

This was created earlier this year, Probably  around February.

While Watching Baseball's World Series Final Game

(c) Ralf Schulze

I'm not a sports fan at all. But I'm willing to watch Baseball because the pace suits my demeanor.  So I stayed up late with a sketch book and some beers and even called my Friend Bill, who I knew was watching too.  We had a good time chatting and watching.  This is one of the better sketches.
I was not trying to draw the game just getting the vibe from it.
