about

The idea for this print came to me during an early winter morning on the Kingston foreshore, bleary-eyed and waiting for that first hit of caffeine to kick in.

This design was printed by Helio Press in blue, yellow, fluorescent pink and black inks on an RP3700 risograph duplicator. The colours in this print were created by layering these 4 ink colours at different levels of transparency (achieved by adjusting the density of the tiny ink dots that make up all risograph prints). Because the true colour of risograph ink can only be approximated on a computer or phone screen, this print is best enjoyed with the naked eye.
