Hi, I’m Nicholas Nocera — an artist, illustrator,and screen printer.
I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember, and that early love of making things has grown into a life centered around creativity, community, and good old-fashioned ink and paper. Through my studio, Rewind Press, I spend my days illustrating, printing, and bringing ideas to life — whether it’s a custom logo, an editorial piece, a gig poster, or something just for fun.
My style leans into bold color, hand-drawn character, and a love for all things nostalgic. I’m drawn to the textures and imperfections that make art feel personal and lived-in — like a favorite record sleeve or an old magazine you can’t quite throw away.
Over the years, I’ve been lucky to collaborate with a wide range of folks — from small businesses and bands looking for something unique to families marking a special moment. No matter the project, I bring the same care, curiosity, and love for the process.
