it's a mix of both! i draw digitally w grainy pencil brush + use a lot of dissolve/noise for fill layers, and then its riso printed on a setting called grain touch which essentially dithers everything into further graininess

fanart of the nausicaa manga: small inset panels of fires raging, the fungal forest, and the white glider in a blue sky, over a background of columns of petrified fungi, slowly collapsing into still water and darkness.

finished reading the nausicaä manga recently and unsurprisingly liked it a lot.. 4 color risograph print (cornflower, bright olive green, bright red, hunter green)

a riso print divided into 3 panels: a scrap of cloth caught on thorny branches and a small inset of an opened egg; a wooden ladle spilling water; bare trees reflected in a pond, the last remnants of snow on brown-green ground.

i had the sincere pleasure of speaking at length with the Hatuey project— cuba Will Not be defeated by the US, but this is a terrible state of emergency (on top of hurricane damage in eastern cuba where homes still need simple items in order to be rebuilt.) please consider donating!

Black Zine Fair Returns in 2026 — Help Us Bring It to Life The Black Zine Fair was founded by Mariame Kaba and Neta Bomani in 2023 to address a clear gap: Black publishers and artists have long shaped independent publishing, yet we were still underrepresented...

We didn't make it to 50% of our fundraiser by yesterday but we're only $1555 away. gogetfunding.com/black-zine-f... - please support the Black Zine Fair if you can.

oo fun idea! i've used glassine/vellum in the past (for interior packaging / stickers) + i personally like how prints look thru them haha but i was kind of concerned about whether not getting a perfectly clear view might make people more hesitant.. i guess i also won't know until i try lol

ok good to know! that was what i was thinking since i've used glassine for stickers before but wasn't sure if the translucency would be more of an issue with prints
