哈囉親愛的讀者好久不見,過去的時間我和丹尼正在努力的學習印刷和製作手工卡片,經過好多次的練習之後,順利地抓住手感並印出很多我們彼此都很滿意的小卡片和ｚｉｎｅ（小誌）,在年底我們幸運地報名上了在倫敦行之多年的DIY ART MARKET,我們每一次參加的時候都會有滿滿的收穫,這一次是2024年的聖誕市集,除了很冷之外,人潮也超乎預期的多。
Dear readers! It’s been a while. Over the past few months, Dani and I have been dedicating ourselves to learning the art of printing and creating handmade cards. After countless rounds of trial and error, we finally got the hang of it and managed to print a collection of mini cards and zines that we’re both really proud of.
At the end of the year, we were lucky enough to secure a spot at the long-running DIY Art Market in London. Every time we take part, we come away with so much inspiration, and this time was no exception. It was the Christmas 2024 market, and aside from the freezing weather, the crowd was way bigger than we had expected!
這隻小小的紀錄影片應該有超過五個月的影像,因為我和丹尼除了要學習操作riso和riso插畫設計上與傳統電繪不同,也是我在製圖中需要特別注意的,其中有試錯許多,像是製作master(像是網版印刷中的製網的那個網)的順序或是要搭配什麼顏色,都需要好好的設計和安排的。
我在今天的部落格也分享兩本我在學習riso中遇見的好書：
The little video I’ve put together captures footage spanning over five months, as Dani and I not only had to learn how to operate riso printing but also understand how designing for riso differs from traditional digital illustration. There was a lot of trial and error involved—figuring out the correct sequence for making masters (similar to screen printing stencils) and choosing the right color combinations all required careful planning and experimentation.
In today’s blog, I also want to share two amazing books that helped me on my riso journey:
這一本是Natalie Andrewson的畫冊,她的作品都是用risograph所創作的（超強！）
這本畫冊有他介紹創作的過程還有介紹riso的印刷原理（用透明的投影片來呈現,超級淺顯易懂的設計）其中也分享很多印錯的作品和不同顏色的呈現效果等等,是收穫會滿滿的一本美麗畫冊。
📖 The first one is an art book by Natalie Andrewson.
Her works are all created using risograph printing (so impressive!). This book not only showcases her creative process but also explains the fundamentals of riso printing in a super accessible way, using transparent overlays to illustrate different layers of color separation—such a brilliant design! She also shares a lot of misprints and color experiments, making it an incredibly insightful and visually stunning book.
這一本是我們在LCBA遇見的工具書,裡面除了手把手地教你riso的知識之外,他還整理出超多用ｒｉｓｏ創作的藝術家們和他們的作品,這是一本非常精彩和仔細的好書。
📖 The second one is a practical guide we discovered at LCBA (London Centre for Book Arts).
It’s a step-by-step handbook on riso printing, packed with techniques, artist profiles, and inspiring riso-printed artworks. It’s an incredibly detailed and well-curated resource—definitely a must-have for anyone interested in riso!
那麼新的一年,我就先用小小的紀錄影片和大家打聲招呼～不知道你們幾年都有什麼有趣的計畫呢？
期待未來我們彼此能有更多的收穫～🫶
As we step into a new year, I just wanted to say hello with this little video diary. What exciting plans do you all have for the year ahead? I hope we can all continue to learn, grow, and create together! 🫶
