Artist of the week – Norman Duenas

By Oana

I chose Norman Duenas as this week’s featured artist without even realizing it. Generally I get interested in the design and then the artist. I avoid checking out the artist at the beginning so that I don’t get biased by their existing popularity. People unconsciously develop an affinity for something that is already popular, I being one of them sometimes. So I try to avoid that by focusing purely on the design . With that in mind I realized that I have featured this artist many a  times before so I felt compelled to dedicate him  a special post.

So here is Norman Duenas 23 year old illustrator, often featured on Threadless and Designbyhumans with a lot of t-shirt designs printed, who frequently uses the nature theme in his work. I like the warm colors he always uses and the abstract intertwining of ideas. His messages are never simple or childish.

Nature designs from Norman Duenas

The beauty of memory
Idea man
Mors et natura
Tempus fugit
Fly away
A happy place
Look into the future
Immerse yourself
A beautiful decay
