Fun N' Games

Directly influenced by a lifetime of pop culture, graphic design, and the playful joy of modern art, Norman avidly collects paper and 3D objects to incorporate directly into his own work. The resulting art is characterized by whimsy and a none-too-subtle dose of nostalgia. While most of his pieces are overwhelmingly FUN!, some tap into the discombobulation of childhood/life. His storytelling allows the viewer to fully immerse in the subject.
