And here’s the process video! My phone kept slipping out of the jar of sharp pencils holding it up sorry
For no real reason, I recently had a wave of nostalgia. I think it came from seeing some old paintball magazines in Facebook. It got me thinking about the first times I played paintball in Saskatoon at Splat City Paintball with my friend Geza.
It must have been 1994 or 93. We had his grandmother drive us, she was under the guise that it was an art class to paint wooden balls, or something to that effect.
We paid our admission fee, were issued a cover all, hopper of 50 paintballs and a Tippman SL68 pump paintball gun, then set off to have the time of our lives.
Good memories… And these two guns I purchased, a VM68 and Tracer II, were two guns that I used in my early years of paintball.

Speedball by David Cutler
One of my weirder ambitions is to one day draw a Speedball solo series, provided he gets to wear something akin to his original, garish, brilliant Ditko-designed costume. I think he’s dope.

Portraits at the Pub - Rick
Portraits at the Pub – Rick
Those with long memories might remember Rick – he’s posed for us at Portraits at the Pub before, only a month or so before the first lockdown in Feb 2020 – it was one of the last portrait sessions. And here he is again, this time very different from last time’s welding clothes to a flower in his hair and an amazing wool clothes that I really didn’t do justice to – all purple and red. Loved…

Portraits At The Pub – Trudie
After a month away from Portraits At The Pub, it was a little scary – mostly because next to Trudie was the resident Lamb Skeleton (yes they have one) dressed in Halloween attire of a top hat and weirdly a heart cushion in their rib cage. I guess it’s the skeleton’s favourite time of year! Trudie was wearing her wedding dress, so it looked like some spooky wedding so the first drawing was a nod…

When I was doing some power setting tests on the laser cutter last week, I made the image backwards so I could try block printing with the acrylic plate. Today I gave it and shot and it worked out great!

With everything moving online, I’ve been shipping more prints out, and finally decided to hand carve my own stamp! The kit was basic but easy to use and provided good tips, and I can see why stamp carving is a thing! The blade gliding through is so relaxing, the multiple-use outcome is worth the effort, and the possibilities are endless.
.
Of course I choose tiny letters for my first project, but ehh, it’s essentially lettering in reverse, right?

My first hand carved stamp commission is on its way to its forever home! This one is going to be used to stamp the inside covers of a personal library. Neat! Now I need one…
CRAFTEDbyNora is always up for custom projects and commissions. There is very little that I can’t do, and usually then because I don’t have the equipment.
Like what you see? DM me! Or check out the link to CRAFTEDbyNora on Etsy in my bio.

#inktober day 6! Today’s #demon is Haborym, Aym or Aim. Aim appears as handsome man, entirely human, except for the heads of a snake & a cat that sit on either of his shoulders. He’s a wise & generous demon who will answer questions truthfully & ‘in good humour’. Sounds like just about the nicest demon there is! If it weren’t for the torch he carries, which he uses to set fire to literally everything literally all of the time. He’s also known for his sharp wit, delivering verbal burns as well as physical ones. Badass.
