Notch, Issue 002: Gravity
Release date: September 19, 2025
Notch is a magazine founded with the goal of de-siloing the creative arts. We consider all genres with an equal level of seriousness: fiction, painting, tattoo art, essays, techno, poetry, nail art, animation, photography… Each issue has a unique theme, acting as a critical connective tissue between art forms. An imaginative discourse arises between the works, underscoring a shared root system.
We hope to demonstrate the intrinsic value of unfamiliar encounters–delivering an experience that will serve our reader’s lives beyond our pages.
Notch publishes biannually in print and online with an emphasis on developing artists who have yet to see center stage.
