Ain’t That Just The Way (Large Version) - Over the Garden Tribute Riso Print - by Natalie Andrewson

"Well, ain’t that just the way.”

Originally made for Gallery Nucleus’s Over The Garden Wall 10th anniversary show. 

This is an 11 x 15 three color Riso print made with blue, fluorescent pink and yellow. Printed on 65 lb. Natural white paper.

This print has some visible roller marks inside of the print image because I used heavy fluorescent pink and yellows to create vibrant orange pumpkins. It doesn't interfere with the characters, just shows the process of the Riso! Just a heads up. I love that I was able to get such vibrant colors but the sacrifice is roller marks.

Hand printed by Natalie in her Los Angeles studio.

*Riso or Risograph is a printing process made by layering different colored inks to create rich and vibrant images. Because this process requires adding one layer of ink at a time, slight differences in registration are natural and sometimes roller marks from the machine can occur. This is just a quirk of working on the Riso that makes each print unique! I always inspect each Riso print for good print registration
