my final from last semester that i made into a zine. cooked this one up in a couple hours before the critique (the ink was still wet!), so it's very raw and kind of sloppy but the sentiment is there. i love you trans people of color. we are the backbone of this community 🌟

Despite everything (dreadful sinus infection) this year’s holiday postcards came out beautifully. 50%-30% black riso on Reich Papers Shine card stock in silver.

I will make a better announcement when I can get more photos in daylight, but these will be going out in December orders from my online shop (including all pending orders) for my ~*Winter Holiday Promotion*~ and also you can buy them buy themselves here.

(Also friends/mutuals keep your eyes peeled for a form to collect your addresses hint hint)

Fresh off the riso~ My queer impressionist piece for Classics But Gay Volume 3 turned out looking GORGEOUS. Cheers to @novaandmali for organizing another fantastic book. If you missed your chance to grab these during the pre-order, keep your eyes peeled for later this year...

Reference piece: Still Life with Asphodels, Henri Matisse (1907)

Duality of Deity - risograph printed on earthwave 150gsm & manual folded lenticular sorry to post something similar so soon but these illustrations was made so i can experiment on this medium - a format which inspired by Decomposition a beatiful artworks by saildraws!

Some tests making a faux risograph effect, I had to approach these very differently than I usually do for digital art so it was a fun experiment! ✨

pirate radio, december 2023 risograph printed in bright red and black ink

my final graphic design thesis project from about this time last year! i made a sleeve for a diy vinyl record (track featured by my friend aria @everlastingwife ^_^). this process was so much fun to experiment with!! on my first attempt, i tried to 3d print a record using a 3d model i generated from the wav file. this did not work because i didn't have access to any printers with a fine enough resolution — all of the grooves holding the audio information totally melted. for my second try, i used a subtractive process instead and badgered my department into buying the gakken toy record maker, which was essentially a tiny record lathe. the audio quality was total ass but it worked much better and was playable! lot of trial and error involved but i'm overall very satisfied with the final outcome :-] hope to make some cd mixtapes now that i no longer have access to that little lathe.

🏴‍☠️ bootleg everything. ok bye

i love your retro comic style pieces so so much... how do you texture/colour those?

Awww that's so sweet! I assume you mean with the recent TOL fanart I've been doing? If so, great! I can break that down for you, if not, I'm so sorry dude lmao…

I was able to break it down pretty quickly into 4 big steps !

Sketch ➜ Values/Tones ➜ Color ➜ Texture !!

So let's start with this totally innocuous Jamie sketch that I did NOT just do for myself because I had a bad day today.

Now, I'm going to do one of two things with it, either lay down the values straight away…

THEN add the tones OVER that.

OR add the tones + values together, usually with a halftone brush!

I like to do the values in about 5 step increments, because after that we're gonna run it through the BOATLOAD of 5-color gradient maps I have on hand.

(if you don't know how to get to g.maps, on CSP its just a new correction layer away!)

From there we choose if we want to put a risograph texture over it…

or a paper texture under the whole drawing…

or something else totally weird and different!

I've honestly done it so frequently that I've streamlined it a bit to the point where I look forward to getting to this point bc I can experiment and go a little crazy lol !!

ANYWAYS I HOPE THAT HELPSSS BYEEE LOVE YOU

Just to experiment a bit, I'm adding color, in a risograph style, to these tiny wizards.
