untitled, risograph print, 11x14", 2022

i was suddenly overcome with the urge to make a print of king gizzard and the lizard wizard's instruments and equipment even though i don't know very much about that kind of thing. i had to look at so many photos for reference and i'm sure i accidentally downloaded multiple copies of a few

this was originally supposed to be a two layer linocut in these same colors but after getting the sketch layers printed at staples i realized there was no way i could carve all these little details in 9x12" And have them line up so i went back and turned them into a riso print instead. it was very fun, i missed doing riso

alt text under the cut because tumblr wouldn’t let me post this with the text in the image:

[start ID: image one: a risograph print, printed in sunflower yellow and blue with overlaps in a tealish green depicting an imagined corner of a music studio space for king gizzard and the lizard wizard. there is a table with a keyboard and a wire on it. underneath the table are two closed bins, a drum with a harmonica on it, and a crate full of tangled wires and cords. to the left of the table is a chair with a tambourine on it and the microtonal guitars dickhead and the flying microtonal banana leaned against the chair. to the right of the table is a microphone stand with a cord wrapped around it, the microtonal 5-string bass leaning against a metal storage box and an amp, and a surge protector power strip with various cables plugged into it. towards the bottom of the image, on a rug, are the blue boy guitar, a pedal board with various pedals and other things this artist doesn't know enough about to name, a harmonica, and many cords including a curly cord all over the floor and rug. on the floor but not on the rug is a pair of drumsticks sitting neatly next to each other and more wires. there are five picks, three gizzard gator heads, and a shrimp hidden in the image. the print is on a white board, being held in place by plain white circular magnets.

image two: the same print as before, now on a white desk, in a eco compostable clear bag for prints on top of a rigid mailer. there is a sharpie on the desk, below the print in this photo.

image three: a detail shot of the print, depicting the chair with the tambourine, dickhead, the flying microtonal banana, and a corner of the table with a closed bin and the crate of wires.

image four: a detail shot of the print, depicting the drum with the harmonica on it, a closed bin, the microtonal 5-string bass leaning against the metal storage box and an amp, the microphone stand, and the surge protector power strip. the rug is also visible.

image five: a detail shot of the print, depicting the blue boy guitar, the pedal board, and some wires on the rug.

image six: a detail shot of the print, depicting the table with the keyboard and wire, the crate of wires, the drum with the harmonica on it, and the closed bin, all underneath the table. the microphone stand and the rug are also visible.
