This is the place.

This is the place.

Printing the blue sky behind the text in this 3-color Risograph print took some trial and error—it’s composed of aqua, a medium blue, and a very light pink, which together create a dimensional and multi-tonal sky. The phrase "This is the place." is then overprinted on top of the three color design. While originally inspired by a for-fun series I'm creating over on the social network Bluesky, I love that the print takes on new meanings in different contexts and environments.

Framing Instructions

Nothing beats custom framing, but if you're looking for an economical option for standard-sized frames I highly recommend Opposite Wall’s natural oak frames. To best protect your print from sun damage, I recommend replacing the plexi with UV plexi or glass.

I’m also a fan of Well Made Co. oak magnetic hangers. I tested a lot of magnetic hanging options and they were by far the best quality. Magnetic hangers are great for large or odd-sized prints.

Creative Process

  • Sketch

    Every piece of art begins as a sketch, exploring different layouts and styles. These days I do most of my sketches on an iPad in Procreate.

  • Final Art

    The final vector artwork is drafted point by point in Adobe Illustrator. I love getting lost in the details and spending hours perfecting curves.

  • Risograph!

    Color separations are made, masters are burned, and the final artwork is printed one color at a time on my SF5130 Risograph duplicator.

Printed on my Riso!

All of my risograph prints are created on my SF5130 Risograph in my Oakland office. I am in love with this machine and am addicted to accumulating new color drums for it!
