Primarily, I’m drawn to NFTs as a way to showcase my work and establish clear ownership, and platforms like Foundation feel like the best fit for that. But once I put the “NFT bat signal” up, it turned into a crash course—fast. Selling in person or working with real-world buyers is usually straightforward. Online has […]
Alter Lina is one of the most honest bodies of work I’ve made, because it lives right where I live emotionally—between control and chaos. When people see the finished pieces, they often describe them as landscapes, storms, maps, or “worlds,” and I love that. But what they don’t always see is the moment behind each […]
Gustave Doré Gustave Doré resonates with me because of his ability to merge technical mastery with emotional gravity. His work isn’t just illustrative—it’s immersive. Doré understood how light, shadow, and scale could be used to evoke awe, dread, wonder, and reverence all at once. His compositions feel vast and atmospheric, often placing the viewer inside […]
Abdere Atramentum #3 Abdere Atramentum is a hand-painted abstract Ink on Film collection rooted in the space where intention gives way to discovery. Rather than beginning with a fixed image or outcome, each piece in the series emerges through rapid chemical reactions between ink, alcohol, and transparent film. The drying process is almost immediate and […]
A Better Perspective. With my ink-on-film abstracts, I’ve always felt it was a challenge for viewers to fully interpret the pieces as a whole. So I began photographing them with my smartphone, hoping to reveal new layers within the work. To my disappointment, digital zoom proved worse than even the heavy compression you see on […]
My Thoughts on A.I I believe that once technology is released to the public, it evolves on its own terms. It doesn’t care about feelings, livelihoods, or how many jobs it might eventually replace—it simply exists and continues forward. Human beings, by nature, are curious innovators, and it’s likely we’ll see A.I surpass human intelligence—if […]
Artist Statement Hi, I’m Jon Wallace. I grew up in Detroit and now live out in the country in Indiana. This Ink-on-Film medium is still relatively new for me—about six years in—and it actually started by accident while I was preparing for an art show. I realized I didn’t have enough paintings to fill the […]
The Artistic Process The tension between control and chaos is what drives it for me. This medium dries so fast that every stroke and shape happens almost instantly. It forces me to be direct—to really think about placement, form, and contrast before I place the mark. When I’m painting, it feels like a rush with […]
Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing well and had an awesome Thanksgiving. This year has been artistically challenging, but not without its rewards. A few months back, my hard drive died and took over four years of work with it—digital paintings, game builds, mechanics, ideas, alphas, betas… all gone. And now, after three years of […]
In the evolving world of contemporary creativity, few mediums challenge perception and reinterpret tradition the way ink on film does. As artists continually push beyond boundaries, exploring new ways to express identity, motion, and emotion, the conversation around materials becomes inseparable from the conversation around meaning. Abstract art has always thrived on this tension—between what […]
