Drawn from Life

Three new risographs, and my first process video.

Franklin Einspruch, Drawn from Life, 2024-03-05, risograph, 5 3/4 x 3 1/2 inches

Due to circumstances beyond everyone’s control, my residency last October at Directangle, the one that produced Satyr & Nymph, got cut short. The proprietor was kind enough to have me back for a printing day to make up for it, and I got three new risographs made.

I also shot and edited a process video for the above riso, behold:

There’s a drawing layer executed in pencil and printed as Federal Blue, then three color screens, red, yellow, and aqua, burned from drawings made with my finger and powdered graphite. Directangle has two riso machines, so we were able to load yellow and aqua into one and red and Fed blue into the other, then feed one stack into the other.
