TestimonialsYour
site is a wonderful palette of images and ideas. It's flow and design
make its treasures a joy to discover. The journey through your body
of work is always inspirational. It's the kind of site I keep bookmarked. Norm
Nason is one of the world's greatest and most talented illustrators
of scientific ideas. His graphics don't just illustrate science,
they explain science. And most importantly – they look great! Such
artistic versatility! In addition to the beautiful paintings and drawings
displayed on your site, your photographs are equally impressive. Norm,
I'm really impressed. Both by your depth of interest in science and
the
bigger questions in life, as well your service to it.
I'm sure the world of science would be much better off if there were
a few more like you around. I'm also deeply impressed by your web site
and art. You've obviously got real talent. I
like the casual and friendly tone of your website, and I am impressed
by your wide range of interests and talents. Norm,
thank you for a superb design job – this book is a beauty! As a Photoshop artisan and master craftsman, Norm Nason transforms my photographs from average to spectacular. The metamorphosis on models is especially remarkable. Norm's talents as a designer are exceptional as well. He consistently delivers the highest quality product that succeeds visually without sacrificing the ever-present needs of commerce; always a delicate balance in our profession. I've
been lucky to see another side of Norm, the pure artisan. His portfolio
of oils, books, sketches and drawings (including treasured likenesses
of my children) exhibits a true talent and
with a gifted artistic vision that translates into all his work and
everyday life. Funny, but it wasn't until transitioning from adult film star and writing my autobiography, Lights, Camera, Sex!, that I began paying attention to artists and their work, their labors of love. I've since had the pleasure of checking out the oh-so-artistic website, nasonart.com. My favorite area in Norm's site is the section of photographs. I loved seeing people and objects through his eyes. Just a simple photograph brought out emotions in me – simply from the way it was positioned, the lighting or background. After an hour of searching Norm's site I finally decided that it was time for me to check out the Getty Museum. Thank
you, Norm, for all the wonderful work you are sharing with us. Norm,
you have been an inspirational teacher and friend. I am always amazed
by your many talents. Norm,
I love your drawings. You have a great eye for beauty.
Norm,
your website is really impressive and in good taste. Your
drawings and paintings and design work are top notch. It is simply
not fair that all that talent is stuffed into one human being. Thank
you for being such an inspiration. You truly are! Your
web site looks very professional and has excellent content and structure. Wow!
Your [photo retouch] work is simply amazing! Truly stunning…awesome!
I have shown several of my friends your photos and they are in awe
of your ability to make the photos look so beautiful! Norm,
I just now went through your website, and am overcome with the beauty
of it. Norm,
your website is superb! I
just finished reading your new article On Drawing, and it is beyond
a doubt the best explanation of drawing that I have ever read. It also
is a magnificent, valuable tool for all who are serious at any level
of experience. I
explored your website and admired your work. Then I read On Drawing from
start to finish and I was blown away! Great stuff! Norm,
I read your article, On Drawing from your website. I found it to
be very enlightening. It truly makes me want to study more, and since
your article explains the necessity of studying, I will make more effort,
no matter how tired I am. All of your topics in this article are very
inspiring and informative. I also will make use of all your notes in
the drawing section. I am very inspired by your insites and knowledge.
Thank you for your article. Norm,
it's good to know there are still people like you in the world. I
always enjoy looking at your work. Very inspiring. Of all the teachers
I studied with in the "Reilly Approach," I've always loved your head
drawings and the way you do figure "lay-ins" very loosely, almost
like you're holding a brush. I
looked at your website and it is VERY interesting! Really cool! I just wanted to
tell you that those 15 pages on drawing are the best, most concise drawing
manual I've ever read. And whenever I teach a head or figure drawing
class I bring out the prints of your drawings you gave me when I was
visiting back in California. |
