hello! been doing a lot of riso printing these past 2 months, and appreciating what i can of the start of autumn here.
i’ve been trying to redistribute part of the profits every time i table - it’s not a lot because tabling is a large part of my income at the moment, but something i want to do regularly. if you’d like to join me and need a place to start, here’s some lists of fundraising efforts from palestine + lebanon:
art ✎
05 / 24-08 / exuviae
something strange and new glistens through the seams. august's print, 3 colors (sunflower, bright red, teal)
07 / 24-09 / charm
dream of a moment bright and terrible. september’s print, in 3 colors (mist, blue, bright gold) on brown kraft cardstock. as always you can learn more about my monthly riso print club + sign up for it here.
rebirth - 8×10in, 4 color riso print (lime, fluorescent pink, bright red, black). my once every 2 years piece of fanart… inevitable since the moment i read dungeon meshi…
sonatine (1993, dir. kitano takeshi) - 8×10in, 4 color riso print (yellow, fluorescent pink, sky blue, black)
(sympathy for) lady vengeance (2005, dir. park chan-wook) - 8×10in, 3 color riso print (light lime, bright red, sky blue)
as part of my lightbox prep frenzy i also printed new versions of these film poster designs from 2022. sorry to the maybe 2 people who would’ve been interested but i want to redo the tropical malady poster first… also maybe get back into making more of these again soon.
(in the process of printing these i’ve discovered that the riso printer, which is an older model that can’t connect to a computer and can only scan images in, is slightly skewing those images… so along with the paper trimmer that already trims at an angle every print i make just bears the mark of the trapezoid i guess. sorry if anyone is trying to frame these and it’s really obvious)
other stuff ✷
thanks so much to everyone who stopped by @ qtz + spx (and signed up for this newsletter! sorry if i mistyped an email)! as mentioned my main upcoming event is:
lightbox expo (CA) - oct 25-27
have been pretty busy going from spx → helping out at brooklyn art book fair → lightbox prep :’’) ideally trying to do at least another local nyc market before the end of 2024 but we’ll see.
i’m also trying to make some mini calendars for 2025 but unfortunately did not make any shareable progress… trying to have them for lightbox but stay tuned…
