Tiger risograph made using teal, orange and purple ink on a sun-faded purple-toned sugar paper. This scan shows the correct alignment of the illustration I posed before, albeit with a different set of colours.

Digital vector illustration. A motivational tiger made in a mid-20th century picture book style. I printed the image on off-white, and recycled card to make postcards!

Small bug illustrations from a scrapped bug zine that would have been about taking time to appreciate the small creatures around us.

Monochrome drawings because I'd wanted it to be a photocopy zine folks could just print and fold themselves.

Risograph prints made using a study of a tyrannosaurus skeleton from a museum visit.

The second and third image are how I had imagined the end print - the skeleton in the museum was lit from behind, and the light bounced off the inside of the bones.

The first and last images are scans of the scrap paper I used while feeling out the prints. I really like the overlapping of both of the images in different ink colour.

Misprint tiger risograph on sun-faded sugar paper. It came out funky, so it has something about it that I like.

Borzoi studies heavily referenced from photographs. It was really fun to play with some multi-stroked brushes (and some paper textures).

Differently-shaped dragons (from some time ago)! I was playing with dip pen-like brushes, watercolour tools, and textured papers.

Experimental risograph prints on sugar paper, featuring a jackdaw! (It's quite difficult to capture some colours when digitising with a scanner... huh?)
