Custom Risograph Zines and Fine Art Prints
Exploring the tactile magic of ink on paper. From vibrant Risograph zines to bespoke screenprints, I create tangible art that bridges the gap between memory and reality.
My three-color Risograph printed zine, 'Nostalgia.' I love the vibrant, slightly misaligned aesthetic of Riso printing, which perfectly suited this project about personal memories.

About Printmaking & Zines
The beauty of Risograph printing lies in its unpredictable, vibrant layering. When I design a zine like 'Nostalgia,' I am manually managing the color trapping and registration process to ensure the final output feels raw, textured, and deeply human in a way that digital screens simply cannot replicate.
Bringing Art Off the Screen
While my work often starts digitally, I have a deep-seated love for analog printmaking. There is a specific permanence to holding a printed object—whether it is a zine, a tour poster, or a limited edition art print—that changes how an audience interacts with a story.
My Printmaking Specialties:
- Risograph Printing: Perfect for vibrant, multi-layered visuals. Riso uses soy-based inks and has a distinctive, slightly misaligned aesthetic that I embrace as part of the design process. It works wonderfully for zines, art prints, and small-batch merchandise.
- Screenprinting: I handle everything from the initial design and color separation to the physical pull of the ink across the screen. This is my go-to for high-impact posters, gig art, and apparel graphics where bold, solid colors are key.
- Linocut & Letterpress: For projects requiring a more tactile, textured feel, I turn to these traditional methods. These pieces often serve as the raw foundation for my digital work or stand alone as fine art prints.
Why Choose Analog?
When you commission a print project, we are moving beyond pixel resolution. We are talking about paper stock, ink opacity, and the way color bleeds or layers. I guide you through these choices to ensure the physical outcome matches the mood of the work. If you are looking for a commemorative zine for an event, a unique run of posters for your band, or a high-quality art book, I can help you translate your narrative into something you can hold.
