Sonnenzimmer & The Little Friends of Printmaking at NOTSTOCK

Sonnenzimmer (Nick Butcher and Nadine Nakanishi) and The Little Friends of Printmaking (LFOP) (Melissa and James Buchanan) demonstrated their screen printing skills at this year's NOTSTOCK. They each made an art print and together made a gigposter for Dosh's show (see earlier post). Artists from 62 Doors Gallery & Studios and MSU students worked the T-shirt printing stations and helped make everything happen. High school students from the area came to campus and participated in the events. Everyone got to print on tees, hoodies, and other items. We made new friends, connected to old ones, and are grateful for the artists' generosity, hard work, kindness, talent, passion, and sense of humor. Thanks everyone for another successful NOTSTOCK!

Dosh blows everyone away!

Martin Dosh was the featured music performance at NOTSTOCK. He played an amazing set in Aleshire Theatre with It's a Secret and Atom's Rite. He also conducted a workshop in the MSU Beaver Dam to explain what he does. He let people play on his equipment and join him on stage. And some of us took him out for some fun at the Barley Pop. Thanks, Dosh!

Special thanks to James Hanson for use of his sound equipment - you are amazing! Thanks Chris Stroschein, Jake Flaten, and Max Patzner for helping with the sound and technical equipment. It wouldn't have been possible without all of you!

Screening of American Artifact with Director Merle Becker

Merle Becker was kind enough to screen her documentary on rock poster art, American Artifact. She made an appearance and fielded questions with poster artists Sonnenzimmer and The Little Friends of Printmaking after the film. She even got to have a beer with some of us at the Blue Rider. Thanks, Merle!
