Risk Reduction | Spinning Artwork of the Mundane

Title: Risk Reduction

This is kind of like a snapshot of my life and experiences. I really think that this is a snapshot of my soul. With many life forms swimming around and into each other and with each. I may have been those forms or maybe I knew them. Its like all of my friends from forever. But not just on this drawing, this is just a segment of the infinite picture. Pictures like the "Rooster General" and "Strange Days" really remind me of this as well. Its like my adventures through time on the mundane material platform. I can not wait to start creating painting from the transcendental platform. I tried with the Krishna painting.
The above artwork was printed on white unisex shirts and is on stock at Freedom Gifts. It is peppermint scented too, which will last a few weeks once you leave it out in the open air. If you seal it up while not wearing it, the scent will last years.

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.

Pink Cheeks Revisited | Abstract Black and White

Title: Pink Cheeks Revisited

The image was made in adobe illustrator. I opened up a image of painting I did called Pink Cheeks. I traced the image and expanded in black and white. I added a large black rectangle then arranged it to in the back, behind the artwork. I then added a little text, Jamullah.

A direct approach to surrealism;
these original works promote dynamic
thought through seemingly endless flowing strokes,
and invoke a raw sense of emotion,
transcending the viewer into new,
complex visual realities.

I used an agreement from Enchanted Creek and changed a bit of it to fit my needs. If an artist, feel free to change and develop this agreement to fit your needs in consignment. Artist make deals with: gallery, stores, cafes, office buildings. Consign where you can.
