Akira Riso Print

My homage to 'Akira', one of the best Mangas and animated films of all time. This print shows the moment Kei is being hijacked by Kiyoko, plus many other little vignettes from the last half of the film.

This is a 2 color Riso print in blue and scarlet red on 11 x 17" smooth, natural white paper. Originally created for Wren McDonald's Akira Zine. Hand printed in Natalie's Los Angeles studio.

*Riso or Risograph is an imperfect 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 with this printmaking method that makes each print unique! I always inspect each Riso print for good print registration and send them with care in a stay-flat mailer within a bubble mailer. I currently ship out once per week, please allow for 1-2 weeks shipping time. Thank you!
