Wise Bird,

This day, July 4th, is a happy and somber day to know that real lives were taken for this gift of America, and real people took real action to secure our freedom.

Blown Away Smoke Shop

Brian, from Blown Away in Conyers, GA, has graciously hung two of my "new edition" original paintings. Check out their site for maps of the location and their awesome assortment of pipes and tobacco. The two paintings:

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.

Dead Head

Signature: Each painting is signed “GW”
Release: June 2009
Foundry: Jamullah.com, Dekalb County, Georgia
Copyright: © 2009 Grant Wallace
Canvas size: 40×30”

Price: $500


Dead Head is part of the new edition grouping, separate from the 50 paintings I created in the first couple months of my career. I am donating the remaining pieces to good people or selling at "hood" prices. I will only bring my best new edition paintings to Portland when I move. Email me about a donation, or make an offer on a painting listed on http://jamullah.com/paintings.php


Most are $200-$1000, but with the sale going on, I would accept offers as low as $60-$200. Now is the time to buy if you are in the Atlanta area.


This piece embraces the soft colors and dark background I have grown to love and admire. I see many happy and joyful creatures transforming and moving constantly in this painting. What do you see and feel?

This is called yummy for a single reason; to send subliminal messages to my girlfriend. I see romance, mouths, heads, holes, and of course, beautiful flowing strokes.

Break Up Poetry- Part 2

Read this poem to your sweetheart when she or he thinks they are winning.  This will surely let them know, you have thoughts and feelings of your own.  When things get sticky or boring, these flowing words may bring fruit to your now seemingly fruitless relationship.  I know you want to let them know, you want more.

You want more: meals, sex, clean house, respect, whatever else

"Butterfly" will put new wind into your heart(s).

"BUTTERFLY

open your eyes in the morning sun
and the pain trickles in from our previous sins
and the resin is hard to turn to love dust because its hard to swallow hard to accept
and these letters and words will do nothing but fill and feel regret
and that is what we want and because our selfishness and stubborness neither can have the flag
and by our misread captions and red thirtsty outbursts this feeling of evil and hurt feels us to the core
and im shaking and in this waking nightmare i despise the ones you put with me
and victoriously you watch me fold and break and turn my shell outwards into a trembling branch
and this branch has leaves shaking dead feelings escape and powerful wind blows my pieces to the floor
and this basin of love has depth but this river of thought has regret
and ever and forever and of yesterday i feel less for you and feel more for the rain
and those drops those forgotten tear drops and heart breaks and those geese that see the light of day
but i tuck them away
for fear of abandonment or loss of pride and i cant take the first step to fix this night
but because fingers cross and words twist and your tongue misquotes your spirit
i am left torn and gone with the wind
but this time im not free im anything but me
i can no longer see the beauty within my life- only loss
suck hole costs and tear drops from brain loss
i hate despise and counteract this thought
with a shaken dream of heart
but this heart is now gone and has been replaced with fear
and i hate this reaper of life and the immaturity that stares back at you in the mirror
i would ask you forever more- only if you would give me the door.
but the only door i see-is an exit.
will i flee?"

PS I accept no responsibility for her tears.

My girlfriend's father suggested I paint Obama. This is what I came up with using the surrealist automatism technique. It sure is rather nice, and the folks at artofobama thought so to.
