    Tom Norulak--Printmaker's Interests
GeneralBesides printmaking and other arts, I like playing the accordion with my wife, who plays the hammered dulcimer. We used to play concerts and contra dances with our previous musical groups "Magic Forest" (most recent but 7 or so years ago) and Queen Anne's Lace (Ancient history). We used to play a lot of dulcimer, folk and arts fesivals, also coffee houses and other venues. We specialized in primarily American folk music, but also included some British Isles, Celtic and Eastern European music as well. We're going to be starting up playing for dances again later this year under the name "Quickstep" beginning with a Waltz and couples dance in Cleveland in October. Hopefully we will also be playing for a contra dance in Pittsburgh some time this fall too. Stay tuned for more details.
MusicFolk Music, Old Time, Blues, Roots Rock, Hawaiian, Contra Dance, Rockabilly, Classic Country, Honky Tonk and Western Swing. Favorite groups include the Rolling Stones, Drive By Truckers, Van Morrison, The Band, Dixie Chicks, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix. I've been listening to the Rolling Stones a lot lately, especially Exile on Main Street, and A Bigger Bang.
MoviesThis is Spinal Tap, Fargo, Meatballs, Chocolat, Guns of Navarone.
TelevisionSurvivor, Lost, Iron Chef America and lots of stuff from the Food Network, The Tudors.

About me:
I am a Fine Arts Printmaker, papermaker, screenprinter, and accordion player. I operate Norulak Screen Printing in Pittsburgh, PA which specializes in custom and contract printing of many items, but primarily prints t-shirts and other wearables. I teach printmaking at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts where I also print my etchings. I've exhibited extensively in Western Pennsylvania and the surrounding areas, and I'm constantly looking for galleries outside of Pittsburgh to carry my work. So if you're a gallery, take a look at my images when you get a chance. I Currently have my limited edition screen prints uploaded. Also, my current series of etchings called "Detritus" is being uploaded and is close to being complete. You can check out most of work (and purchase one or two) on my website.

Actually, we've had Hayter works for a long time and have been waiting for there to be more recognition of his work here in the U.S. We were glad when we found out last year that there was going to be a Hayter exhibition on display in Wash. D.C. Who was your teacher? Maybe we carry his/her work....?

“The brainy, bold music-and-performance ensemble is once again daring to go where no performance art has gone before”
- Washington Post

“a roman candle, one that happens to come with a rhythm section.”
- City Paper

“The Biggest, Baddest, Boldest Squonk Opera Yet”
- Pop City

“an American, terrestrial and perhaps galaxy original...a unique mix of geek and polish, eccentric design and mocking wit”
- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“hybridizer of art rock and performance, and expert at blending surrealism, high camp and careful craft for the masses”
- City Paper

Hope to see you there!

P.S. Astro-rama has just been chosen as one of three finalists for the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council's Work of Art Awards
