A multicolor risograph print! Small edition of 50. This is a drawing of a garden behind my school, before the garden was bulldozed to make room for construction equipment to park.

I like this paper!

Page 1 of a 2 page comic. I was just testing out risograph colors, in case you were wondering what this is for! 

PEOWSTUDIO dot com - check em out. This book is good! And it’s riso’d!

they got a TUMBLR - peowstudio.tumblr of course…

This is the top layer for a test-print for the Secret Prison 7 cover. It’s like 1/4 the size of the real thing. I was figuring out the composition and trying to figure out how dark of markers/pencils/ink I should do.

First photo:

Ugh wtf Risograph why are you not scanning the cover right? See the bottom sheet is my original, and the sheet on top is what’s getting spit out.

Second photo:

Actually I finally worked around this problem just now. I don’t know why it was happening but it has something to do with the Risograph not reading the large black area.

Here’s where you can see the last thing I drew on the book. You might notice that the first batch had a different character peaking out on the back cover. That’s fun, right?

Today I will attach the cover to the collated guts (I think that’s a word that means: the non-cover pages inside). Tomorrow I’ll crop them and send orders out in the mail. BTW I got sick last weekend but I am glad that my timeframe seems to be working out well. Yes, I’m cutting it close. But… I think it’s gonna be okay…

This is an animated GIF showing my steps towards designing the cover.

What is the point of my journey? No one knows…

Retro Jam was giving out these cute postcards for free, to demonstrate their slick embossing.

Depending on how I prepared my spreads for the printer, I could increase or decrease the visibility (readability) of the pencil strokes.
