Sounds About
We are excited to announce sounds about riso .online, a virtual showcase of risograph works by artists and publishers from North America. Through sharing the diverse set of risograph works, we hope that everyone can take a moment to explore the site and if able, shop the prints, zines, and books to show your support for the individual artists, printmakers, & the risograph community!
By directly linking the artists’ and publishers' own method of purchase, 100% of the proceeds go towards the individuals and small press while also allowing us to all operate this at a safe distance. We’re hoping that this gives artists a chance to sell some artwork during what would have been the usual festival season and bring the riso community a place to congregate online.
In addition, we asked each participant to share their process of preparing work to be printed on a risograph, both technically and creatively. We’ve been going through each one and they are honestly so rewarding to read.
