Have been pretty busy these past 2 months working on my residency project… which I’m not even technically done with yet… hopefully I’ll have a full write-up by the next newsletter but in the meantime here’s some sparse other updates.

Modified version / sneak preview of one of the prints from my Risolab residency project for July's print. 4 colors (mint, bright olive green, fluorescent orange, hunter green)
You can learn more about my monthly riso print club + sign up for it here.
Also as part of the residency I designed one of the posters for print slam 22 @ the Risolab! Printed with mist, lime, and brown ink. Thanks to anyone who came out to that and bought some of my prints or took one of these posters home. Was fun to just do Whatever with this and honestly… if you have a poster that needs designing that can look like Whatever… hit me up…
other news etc ✷
Thanks so much to everyone who ordered from the store / helped reshare the posts on social media! I’ll be shipping out the last batch orders (along with July’s patreon mail) later this week. The store is now closed but will possibly be open again sometime in Oct/Nov, especially if I don’t end up getting into any events/markets.
My next events so far will be:
Flame Con (NY) - Aug 16-17
Small Press Expo (MD) - Sep 13-14
As mentioned before I have been pretty busy and am not sure if I have time to restock/reassemble some things so I’m not sure what exactly I will be bringing to Flame Con (other than “my backlog of riso prints”)… but I will be there… no promises but hopefully will have some of the prints from the residency there.
Here’s a preview of my residency prints (minus the 6th one which was not done when I took this)… trying to finish a zine/art book thing right now…
