We are thrilled to welcome artist, printer, and illustrator Jake Rathkamp to this year’s NOTSTOCK!

Operating out of The Graphite Club, Jake is an incredibly talented poster artist highly respected in the music collector community. He has designed gig posters for bands like Greta Van Fleet, The Avett Brothers, Johnny Blue Skies, 311, Goose, Death Cab for Cutie, and Widespread Panic.

Jake’s method is slow, methodical, and entirely hands-on. Every piece begins the old-fashioned way—pencil to paper with intricate graphite drawings. He then hand-prints his work layer by layer, color by color, mixing inks to create rich overlays. What truly makes his work stand out is how the original pencil work, including its delicate textures and imperfections, is so beautifully depicted through the printing process.

Come watch him pull screens live, check out his work and his incredible attention to detail, and snag something for your walls.

Jake's NOTSTOCK Schedule:

• Live Screenprinting & Prints for Sale: Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 24-26| Collaboration Space, Hartnett Hall

• NOTSTOCK Artists Opening Reception: Thursday, Sept. 24 (Doors 6:30 p.m.) | Northwest Arts Center

• Artist Presentation (Artist Talk): Friday, Sept. 25 (12:00 p.m. – 12:55 p.m.) | Aleshire Theater, Hartnett Hall

• NOTSTOCK Exhibition: Sept. 17 through Oct. 3 | Northwest Arts Center
