Do you get tired of trying to fit in? Bending over backwards, tying yourself in knots trying to be what everyone thinks you should to be? Why is it so hard to line up with the other plastic flamingos?

September 11, 30 degrees Celsius during the day. I was hoping that the heat would end at the end of August, but it didn't. How can I get used to the "new normal" weather?

Society is obsessed with numbers: your weight, your clothing size, your bank account, and your social media popularity are just some of the ways you're measured.

What do these stats help you understand your own experience of the world? Of all the records about you, which one do you feel best represents you in real life?

I'm #, # , # , # and I wanted to share some of my art with you.
I've been drawing since before I could speak, and I'm 53 now! I have a vast amount of work to show, so I decided to just share my four latest pieces, along with my links.

Art is my main form of communication and is really my only way to get through to other people. Some people think because I use a cute vocabulary, my art is just funny -and that's ok, but I hope viewers can see that I'm trying to express something deeper than that.

One of my lifelong projects is # Series, which I started in 2009 and continue to this day, showing my takes on the records that made me who I am. Music is my main inspiration in life!

I've worked as a graphic designer my whole adult life, until the beginning of COVID, when I lost the job I thought I'd have til I "retired": layout designer for my local newspaper. Since then, I've been working in a grocery store, thinking it would be temporary til things "got back to normal"... but they never did, and I think, never will. So I am definitely interested in creative opportunities!

My Site: http://www.norncutson.com/
My Shop: https://www.redbubble.com/people/norncutson/shop

And here are my four most recent pieces. I am ALWAYS working on something, I've got sketches going, WIP going, and dreaming up (sometimes literally!) new ideas all the time!

Follow me for more!
I'm always posting sketches, WIPs and digging through old files!

Thanks for reading!

My take on the cover art of Shakespears Sister's GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD.<br /><br />A blue-tinted image. Two white women posing, one in profile, looking skyward, elegant; the other gazing directly at the viewer, creeping up in goblin mode.<br /><br />Text, top right corner, thin pale blue handwritten scrawl: "Shakespears<br />Sister<br />goodbye<br />cruel<br />world<br />x".
My take on the cover art of Alice Coltrane’s JOURNEY IN SATCHIDANANDA.<br /><br />On an orange gradient background, a cis black woman sits on bended knee, in a sage blue and metallic gold kurta. She looks deep in heavy thought. Her hair is in a tight afro, she wears a headband that matches her outfit. She wears wooden beads and a gold necklace. The tail of her robe is spread out before her.<br /><br />Text in center top, pale yellow sans serif: "ALICE COLTRANE". Below, n yellow sans serif: "JOURNEY IN SATCHIDANANDA. Below, in thin pale yellow sans serif: “Featuring".<br /><br />Below, in pale yellow sans serif; "PHAROAH SANDERS".
My take on Senorita Dido, of TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN.<br /><br />A black and white image of a pale, moon-faced Latin woman. She gazes directly at the viewer with large, calm, dark eyes. She has a beauty mark over her right lip.<br />She has a modest feather headdress, jeweled barrette, layers of necklaces, and a dress with a regal collar. The dress has sequined detailing over sheer fabric. We see her in head-and-shoulders-view against a black background.
My illustration of the band Lush!<br />The four band members, from left to right: Phil King, Emma Anderson, Mili Berenyi and Chris Acland.<br />Phil stands with hands on hips, looking serious, wearing a black outfit with white V-shaped stripes. Emma is holding her guitar and wearing long sleeve ivory and ivory stockings under a black jumper. A white headband holders her dark hair back, and her bands shield her eyes. Miki wirlds her guitar. Her flaming red hair stands out, as does her green t-shirt with red trim, polka dot sequined skirt, ripped black stockings and red shoes with gold buckles. Chis is wearing a comfy cozy ivory fisherman's sweater, as he pops out from behind Miki, smiling and laughing.<br />Behind them is a psychedelic swirl of colors, lights, patterns and textures.

A fun still life with a specific purpose! In January 2021, I painted my setup and a piece I was working on (a painting of me painting a painting… very meta.) I later used it on my business cards. Since I’m reprinting those, I thought, why not paint a fresh “selfie”? (Phone number omitted.)

Alien Landscape

2023 03 31 day 281 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off).

To clarify for those who weren’t with me at the beginning in May 2022, I decided to do a one year challenge to do some kind of art every day for a year so I could, hopefully, learn to do art. In the beginning, my art, or more accurately, “art”, wasn’t very good. I had not done much since finger painting in grade two or three. I considered myself a wannabe artist. But I figured that, if I worked at art seriously for a year, I could improve. I aspire to competence. So what you see here is very much that of a beginner artist learning to art.

On to the now. I seem to be developing a habit of painting otherworldly scenes. I must continue that with zero restraint.

2023 03 24-25 day 274-275 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off). 

I followed a Tatyworks tutorial, but went rogue. Of course. I’m not entirely happy with it, but whatever. It’s done.

Watercolour visual calendar for March 2023. A branch of Alder from the Celtic Tree Calendar. The daily high temperature recorded in a coloured square. Cool blues and teals for this month, meaning temps mostly sitting around 0 degrees Celsius. March’s birthstones, the bloodstone and aquamarine. An opened book for Reading Month(here in Canada). A night sky with a crescent moon beside a daytime sky with a sun and a little two leaved sprout in between for the Vernal Equinox. A maple tree trunk with a sap bucket for making maple syrup. A daffodil. A four leaf clover for St. Patrick’s Day. A robin(American) and the symbols for Aries and Pisces.

Usually when I'm frustrated with painting, I don't paint over the whole thing, well today I decided to do just that. Then I tried again, and this is what I ended up with.

ARTISTS & CREATIVE SOULS: There is a free artist workshop coming soon. It is a sample of an art program I did a while ago that helped me in so many ways.

It is painted very loosely in acrylics..
 
# floating on the pond upside down really captured my attention with the lovely yellowish water drops on it's surface. They were tears as autumn would soon be winter and all the # foliage would be long gone.

I like to experiment with digital art techniques and glitch art is one of my favorites! This is not your typical glitch art but I don't know any other way to describe it.

Just saw somebody post a # hashtag, so I’m accepting it as a challenge to do the same.

This is just below Hart Lake on Railroad Creek in the Cascade Mountains of Washington state. The exposure was made in 2019 during a trip to Holden Village.

A black and white photograph in landscape orientation of a mountain valley. Mountains begin in the upper right corner of the frame and cut diagonally through it, exiting about midway up the left side. The mountains vary in tone from deep gray (almost black)n in the upper left to mid-gray on the right. On the right side of the foreground is a tall, darkly-shaded pine tree which extends from the bottom of the frame to the top, obscuring a small portion of the mountains behind it. On the left side of the foreground are bright gray grasses and shrubs. The sky above the mountains is filled with puffy clouds that vary in tone from dark gray to brilliant white.

Earlier this fall, I'd seen a photo of hair-like # 'growing' on the ground and I thought it was amazing, but didn't quite believe it as I'd never seen it happen. A day or two later I walked past this scene as I was out with my dog. There it was, frost growing on itself. # is amazing indeed!

Horizontal black and white photo of dried wildflowers with frost 'growing' on them. The frost not only covers the flowers and twigs of the plant, but hangs down from the plant in delicate strands.

Morning! Another Stretching Art piece. We were either given or chose a letter of the Alphabet to work with. I decided to treat mine as an illuminated letter. Hand painted and embellished with beads and gold leaf. 18x36inches. # # # # # #
A wall hanging 18x36 inches showing the letter U. I decided to treat it as an illuminated letter in an old manuscript and hand painted it and the surrounding design. The letter is embellished with seed beads and the lower lettering is on gold leaf which I had no idea whether it would work or not. The border is commercial fabric.
 
When removing raku pottery from the kiln it takes steady nerves, hands, and the right tools. It also must be done quickly, so not too much heat is lost before the wares are placed in the post-firing combustion chambers.

As I fire multiple pieces at once, I always develop a plan for their removal to maximize glaze effects and my personal safety. I think the effects are worth the extra effort.
