Bluesky Risographs

I'm creating a series of mostly silly Risograph prints and posting them over on the new social network Bluesky. Each print has fluorescent pink text overprinted on top of a 3-color multi-tonal sky.

What are Risographs?

Risograph printing utilizes a specialized machine called a duplicator, which works a bit like screen printing. Risos are known for creating "perfectly imperfect" prints with beautiful textures and vivid colors.

Riso prints are printed one color at a time. Artists create color separations and select a different color drum for each layer of color. The risograph burns the design into a paper mask/screen which is then wrapped around the drum before printing.

Ink is pushed through the screen and transferred onto paper as it’s pulled through the machine. Once one color layer is printed on every print in the edition, the whole process is repeated for each additional color layer.

Risographs create stunning overlays, luscious textures, and interesting “quirks” like ever-so-slightly-off registration. The end result is a beautiful print that is delightfully “analog.”

I Love Riso!

All of my Riso prints are designed and printed by yours truly in my Downtown Oakland studio. I have an SF5130 Risograph and an ever-growing number of ink drums (8 so far!). I love the look and feel of risograph prints and the super vivid colors you can achieve.
