Hi! So i've loved poster art since I was a kid because when I lived in my grandmas house I would spent a lot of time in my aunts room that was full of metal posters from floor to ceiling. Super influential to my little kid brain. Then in highschool I found out what screen-printing was when my graphic design class went on a field trip to a local printing press that did posters and shirts. So at that point I started associating posters with printmaking and seeing them go hand in hand. I took classes for it in college and fell in love, easily the best class I took in my studies. I found out through friends there about riso printing (tho the school didn't offer it) and how it was a branch of printmaking and I really wanted to try it, so during the pandemic time I couldn't really screenprint with no studio (too many chemicals/clean up) so I started working on figuring out riso prints thru Risolve studio (just online, not actually physically there). Eventually I bought my own machine! I figured out how to use it by trial and error, a lot of googling/facebook groups, and people I met at the local art scene in the last city I lived in. I'm still learning a lot but now I have 9 inks in my library and i'm super excited to experiment around! I just really love printmaking and riso is the easiest way for me to do it with minimal equipment/mess/chemicals ect :D
