A classic Stupid Comic!

 I think every comic artist does something like this.

It is rude, crude and fun and who cares!

I don't care if you copy this and make millions! (yeah, right)

Abstraction on Paper

(c)1986 Ralf Schulze

I did a whole bunch of these Acrylic paint where I outlined the brushwork in india ink, and then added more color with Color pencil. 

They were mostly on colored paper and about 9" x 12" in size I just found 8 unfinished ones (no color pencil yet)

They are essentially abstact studies and experiments in a structured media and style.

The Crazy Glossary

(c)1986 Ralf Schulze

This was an old "poster" I made for the fun of it back in 1986.  I think I sold it to people at my job at Tallix art foundry for like 50 cents each.  It is 11" x 14"  I still have the pen and ink original also, but I wanted to show the faded poster printed in blue on white.

Mother Whale Eye

(c)1983 Ralf Schulze

This is another large painting on paper I did my last year at college. It is about 50" x 50" 

It has been stored away and moved in a semi rolled up condition for very long and the oil paint makes the paper brittle through the years.

Sepia Nude

(c)1983 Ralf Schulze

this was one of those moments when every thing fell into place.  It was just a quick study in a life drawing session. I was using sepia ink, water and some old black ink. 

This just poured off of the brush with in 10 minutes

It is approx. 8 x10

framed in a mat, for sale.

Stinky Poo

(c)1987 Ralf Schulze

This is a Never published/released comic I did almost 25 years ago.
The deal here is, I am left-handed and have been very used to PUSHing the pen when drawing,  [I rarely used a "crow-quill" pen]  So, I had no real problems when using ballpoints or felt-tips etc.
But with a sharp point "dip" style pen tip, I was spitting and splatting all over the place.

So I decided to create Stinky Poo (an alternate to DinkyDoo)  and make stupid comics using my left-handed dibilitation.

Bronze Single Totem

(c)1989 Ralf Schulze

a double view of this approx 22" tall Bronze and steel sculpture.

Just found out that it is at my good friend's house on Long Island NY!

Yellow Ochre Collage Study

(c)2011 Ralf Schulze

This is a fun study of similar color with various texture collage. approx 5 x 7 .

It is just horizontal strips of mag cuts (4).

Portrait of a Self Portrait

(c)1982 Ralf Schulze

In the tradition of  Norman Rockwell once removed. I made this quick sketch of my pal Michal Rezanka (we shared a college studio) doing his own self-portrait.

Hand On Head

(c)1983 Ralf Schulze

This is from a large set of painting/sketches a I did at the end of my college days.

I essentially had some big paper to work with and 3-4 old enamel paints I found in the basement at home (my parent's home) [noxious stuff]   I found a photo from a current Newspaper and then proceeded to paint it Upside Down with the limited pallet I had.
It was fun > I did about 10 of them in a few days, this was one of the better ones.
The paper was huge! Bigger than 3 feet by 4 feet!  I did them in the summer because the chemical smell was over-powering, even in the large painting classroom I used (I had a key!).

Telephone Doodle . . .

(c)2005 Ralf Schulze

 . . . that turned out cool! 


It is  Pencil on off-yellow paper Standard size paper (8.5 x 11)

Today I will post many things in order to catch up on my Daily posting... I've been working A LOT and haven't been in the mood to post after an 11 hr day.

So enjoy this glut of stuff!

Self Portrait

(c)1987 Ralf Schulze

A curious image sent from an old friend.  It is of a card I created, just for them.  It is a photocopy of myself  reduced and then enlarged to create the "dotness"  [Copy machines in the 1980's were not Digital in any way.]

Then I  printed an image and colored it with color pencil.

Size is most likely Postcard size (6" x 4") based on the "CA" and "N2" stamps on it.

I like to work on multiple pieces at a time.  I actually did more to these between taking this photo and posting this blog post!

The next one.

Check out the previous post for more details.

This crap is 25 years old... forgive me.

I currently have been starting to paint and draw more again and hope to have some new finished pieces to post here soon.

 Please be patient.

Thanks you.
