Ink Whittling | Grant Wallace Automatism


I used to whittle with ink very often. As an artist, phases are what bring inspiration. New motivation will be found in new activities, flow, and stature. I feel the ebb and flow of my inspiration, and understand the need for fresh ideas for an artist. I like to start fast with random strokes, sometimes they can be curvy, connected, and balanced. Other time, I can start off wild and only concerned with color and rapid flicking of my wrist. I like to play with shadows and lines on the canvas. I like to incorporate things in my environment immediately, to give me that fresh new taste.
Recently I have been concerned with color, depth, and the end picture. My art usually has a multitude of different characters, animals, and people that different minds will separate and view in different ways.
