The Process

Currently residing in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Nord utilizes pen and ink to create black and white line drawings with an occasional hint of color from additional inks. He refers to the majority of his work as spontaneous line drawings. Subject matter varies from abstract with no central theme to works which become recognizable forms. “Dreadnaughts a Noche” is an example.

The intensity of line density and balance of light and darkness are the driving force behind the intricate drawings. He works on various papers and illustration boards but has been known to use any medium on hand such as cardboard, wood panel and canvas.
Originals are reproduced on mylar, giclee or paper and sold as numbered prints.
