Eat A Peach

(c)2009 Ralf Schulze
2 years ago in C'ville at my friend's studio, I painted over the Allman Bros. album cover Eat A Peach.  I liked it enough to put it in a frame and hang in my cubicle at work.

Finally took a picture of it!

New Changes to This Art Blog of Mine!

Thanks for Looking at my revamped artblog.  For more than 4 1/2 months I've been pretty good at posting a piece of my art every day.  It has been fun and a challenge too. 

This will still be a place for me to post only my art.  But I can't do it every day anymore.  My work schedule and time constraints have increased lately and I will now just try to post 3 posts per week.

But there are a few cool changes to the blog:
  • If you scroll down on the right you can signup to get an email every time I post something new!
  • Near that, there is a video thing where you can watch my youTube videos.
I hope that you will keep looking at my stuff.  I do not make a living off my art, but if you are interested in
anything you see and want to make an offer, please don't hesitate!

Quick Doodle at work

(c)2011 Ralf Schulze
A quick doodle I did at work today when I discovered that the black ballpoint pen I was using was really juicy.

I just flowed from my fingers and is only about 3" tall.

Postcard Painting Sketches

(c)2011 Ralf Schulze
Last year I bought a pad of "Acrylic Painting Paper"  it's kind of odd but I like it.
It is thick paper embossed with a fake canvas texture, and to top off the oddness, the size is 6" x 12" .
I've used it for ACEO's and some other things, but last month I realized that I can make 3 postcards... (standard postcard size in USA is 6" x 4")
So I decided to do this as a whim while painting other stuff.

These are pencil and Acrylic paint.  I might or might not add to them. . . .

Rectal Spirits

(c)1985 Ralf Schulze
Very, very early comic.
Very stupid bathroom humor.
Marker on paper.   Approx. 5" x 8"  
Before I ever used Zip-a-tone.

This is from my current sketchbook which actually goes back to June 2008. This is a pencil sketch  approx 7" x7" .  The sketchbook is very beige (almost grocery bag color)  You might recognize the subject matter from an ACEO I have on etsy HERE!
