This weekend, the RisoLAB will be at the Society of Illustrator’s MoCCA festival-a two day book/zine/print fair of illustration and comics-based work. We will have a Risograph on site, offering demos and short artist talks given by our former and current Artists-in-Residence, faculty, and staff, and will be selling work by previous Artists-in-Residence as well as faculty and staff, and the work of some of our student volunteers.
We hope to see you there!

The New Yorker recently commissioned Sarula Bao, illustrator and RisoLAB technician to create a piece for the Spring Fashion issue of the magazine! The piece, entitled “Fresh Kicks”, was printed at the RisoLAB using our MF 9450U with System 2 colors. After testing different color combinations, Sarula printed the final version and scanned the print, sending a high resolution file to the New Yorker’s design staff. The piece was then printed using high volume offset printing, as was the rest of the magazine.
You can find an interview with Sarula Bao here, where she discusses her work, the Riso process, and her interest in art and fashion.

The RisoLAB will once again be participating in the Society of Illustrators’ MoCCA festival on April 2nd and 3rd along with the MFA Visual Narrative Program! This event brings together hundreds of small publishers and independent artists and collectives from the worlds of illustration, independent comics, zines and artist books. Since 2017, the RisoLAB has participated in this event in coordination with Riso, Inc. and our leasing company LDI. As always, we will have a Risograph duplicator on-site and will be inviting participants to try out the process for themselves, creating a two or three color print using the drums we have available. Our former Artists-in-Residence will be on-site to run demo printing sessions and help teach the process, and we will be selling print editions by AIRs created during their time at the RisoLAB.
Visit us at table A94, right by the entrance to the event! MoCCA will take place at the Metropolitan Pavilion on 125 west 18th street in New York, NY. The event runs from 11-7 on Saturday April 2nd and 11-6 on Sunday April 3rd. For tickets and more information, please visit SOI’s general information site for the event.
