Things you don't know about this video: I enjoyed Risograph so much I'm really considering paying the unlimited access and keep printing at the SVA! I'd love to do more zines and prints. I miss learning so much guys; like the feeling of having no idea how something works (the machine, the process) and then two days later, being able to use the printer- not perfectly but in a basic way! This opened a door to me, I'd love to take more classes! :D

[@furrylittlepeach]

EFFING YASSSSS FRAN - I've been playing with riso too! I'm really excited to have time to incorporate it more into my practice . The adjective you used ~~delightful~~ is the perfect way to describe the way riso gives me all the warm and fuzzies! 🌞

[@FranMeneses]

RISO IS SOO COOOOL right?

[@botanicallyaberry6406]

seeing both of you interact is so cool- I'm seeing my two favorite illustrators supporting each other!

[@violetacorrea7142]

FANGIRLING SO BADLY OVER THIS COMMENT

[@jenvcampbell]

I'm so super thrilled that you picked a paragraph from 'The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night.' Thank you, darling one; this was fascinating. xxxxxx

[@Renmeleon]

She hooked me, I'm going to have to check the book out now. :)

[@FranMeneses]

thank YOU Jeeeeen! The book is seriously wonderful

[@zozaleenie]

Ive always wondered how riso printing worked! seeing you explain it like this was great. And also the fact that you decided to do it with analogue mediums first up is neatooo!!!

[@LoveCriss811]

I didn't even know about riso printing. It is really interesting how you have to work on layers for each different color. Your zine turned out amaaaaazing!! When you started to choose your colors for it I could already tell: BLUE PINK AND LIGHT PURPLE. That's one of your signatures after all.

[@stephanie.kilgast]

Thank you so much for sharing! That folding trick got me ideas, so thank you so much :)

[@ejclearwater]

I LOVE Risograph as well. For me I find it quite easy to understand as I have an (semi) indepth knowledge of printing basics. You can also think of it that same as CMYK offset printing (only you can choose which colours you want to print). With offset printing they create things called PLATES (which are the layers that Fran is showing in BnW) and each plate represents a different colour, so there will be four plates. And if you want to create a blend of two colours (example - red (magenta) and blue (cyan) = purple) then you would have those PLATES overlap. If you guys are working digitally, this is really easy to do in something like Illustrator or Photoshop. In illustrator, separate each colour via a new layer. If you were doing CMYK for example, Cyan colour would be on one layer, Magenta another, yellow another and black another. Merge all shapes on each layer and set to multiply, then You can see how the objects and colours will look when printed on top of one another. If you don't want overlap then you can cut out sections from each layer.... I hope that help you guys to understand and if you get the chance to do Riso GIVE IT A GO! :D :D

[@SpiritsJamaa]

Friday’s are already exciting but having you upload every Friday makes it 10 times better!

[@briggyjudith]

You explained this so well, I would have never thought of understanding these black layers!

[@lildahlin8375]

I watched it with my boyfriend and we wanted to say thank you

[@TheStitchess]

Making a zine in 24 hours is HARD I’ve done it before and it’s so crazy especially if you’re all by yourself. This came out so cute I love it 😍

[@lucyrosetill-campbell7443]

You are such a kind, delightful presence. You have helped me take some of the fear out of becoming an illustrator.

[@linzertube]

That's a very cool method of printing colour work. Thanks for the little look into the process. I love your illustrations for Jen's book.😃👍

[@dxmkrew]

The payoff for doing it by hand was really nice to see. The shade variation came out so well, and you explained it very clearly.

[@WiWillemijn]

I saw the word zine for the first time yesterday watching this and now we're gonna learn it at school

[@WiWillemijn]

Again

[@cvazquezs99]

I'm glad you can now take classes. 😊 Please continue sharing what you learn with us 💗

[@BrookeGlaser]

How cool! I love the idea of making a zine on the risograph. I didn't really get why everyone was so obsessed with the riso, but after seeing how you've used it, I get it! Maybe I should do a project at the local riso here.

[@chelseamiller5568]

So many gaping mouth gasps during printing!!!! Amazing. My friend and I made one page zines together last weekend! Well I made a story book for his cat Beans with his favourite toys drawn into it! This is so beautiful Fran!

[@supermaisje]

thats so fun! we have the exact same printer at school and it's such a dream to use!

[@tristanlope93]

Wow, so that's how you do a zine on riso...very nice art work Fran =)

[@rohanpugaonkar5803]

Fran! You are a Wonder Woman! The efforts that you put in while creating content is mind boggling! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It is a privilege and a 'Delight'!

[@sarahcdraws]

I've found it a lot easier to get those lighter tones on the Riso sending it a digital file over scanning my image in! But you can also mess with the contrast and how it scans/interprets the artwork for the master with some of the menu buttons. Your work translates really beautifully to the Riso and I hope you find a studio in NY and make some more work!

[@daphneinthetrees]

I was going to make a video about zine making as well!!! You read my mind! 💛 Can't blame you for it, I adore you and your work, Fran! (I've been listening to the Creative Peptalk episode with you in it on repeat. Thank you for staying so true to yourself in what you do, it inspired me A LOT 💛💛)

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

Ooh is that a podcast?! Link please!! 😃

[@daphneinthetrees]

@@rhythmandblues_alibi You can find it for free on Soundcloud, it's a podcast indeed! Just type in the search bar "Creative Peptalk" and you'll find it! 😊

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

@@daphneinthetrees awesome thanks!

[@antonianorwood5468]

This is amazing!! I’m sure we have one at my college so I’ll definitely be using it !! I’m studying illustration:)!!

[@petitecaotica]

Gracias por compartir tu taller con nosotros ❤

[@ollie3258]

this is really cool and also when i heard your cat's name is hamburguesa i almost cried with joy

[@drwhoscumrag]

Lighting is 100% amazing. Love the zine, I’ve always wanted to make one.

[@neyruzAJ]

You are generous Fran sharing what you learned I never knew about zine! Thank you. I remember doing this on calc when I was still in collage, but then was for fabric prints in huge sizes.... This is a handy printer to try new things....

[@BarbaraMerryGeng]

School of Visual Arts in NYC - is the best place to learn new art processes 🤸🏻‍♀️🏙

[@theunbeatableme]

Superb... i am a huge fan of your illustration...you’re incredible :D

[@franziskafinefein]

found your chanel yesterday. I particularly loved this video - the trick of how to fold and cut one sheet to make a small book is ingenious. thank you so much for sharing!

[@studiofare]

I love Riso! I printed my bachelor thesis on a riso (with was a magazine with 80 pages and a lot of work....) And it was totally worth it! Since then I'm totally in love with riso.

[@elysesimpson3999]

Omg I love Riso. Please more videos like this. The colors you chose to pair together are so beautiful 💖

[@Mexicanaenelmundo]

Videos en español con subtítulos en inglés!!! Uno al mes no sería mal 🙈 ( habló inglés pero extraño tus blogs en español)

[@bethaniepetitpas5699]

Oooh! Foncy lighting Fran!

[@bethaniepetitpas5699]

Awesome! You kick ass Fran!!!!

[@LinesAndCursives]

Oh my gosh, I'll have to really research how this is done.i can't wrap my head around it just yet. Love how yours turned out. And great lighting lamps!

[@07ucogmank]

I work in a school in Japan and we use these machines to make photocopies :P I never realised they were different from a normal photocopier and I always wondered why we only photocopy in grayscale and not colour.

[@cottonbook9229]

I almost signed up for this, but I just moved away from NY the weekend before, and I'm so bummed I missed it! Looks like such a good experience. I've been really missing that classroom life, too. I love being around other creative people and seeing how they make things and sharing that joy. Your zine turned out beautifully!

[@Waynimations]

It was so satisfying seeing the pages print

[@NickiiRose]

Wow!! thats Awesome!!

[@KatnippStudios]

omgooooshhhhhhhhhhhh i need this zine :') Its so amazing YOUR AMAZING FRANNNNNNNNNN

[@oreossi8733]

Katnipp Illustrations ure amazing too

[@annavannoni]

Hehe, all artists are amazing!

[@vene_unsweetened]

Thanks for taking us along for this lesson. As a writer and editor, this will help me connect better with my illustrator friends and understand more printing possibilities. I loved your final result! Also, that zine folding/cutting technique looks very easy -- something I'm going to bookmark for later use.

[@soyun.unicornio]

Aaaaah!!!! Me encanta!!! Es parecido a hacer serigrafía, pero por la forma en la que vi que hiciste tus negativos, al parecer es un poco más sencillo. Y los colores son taaaan brillantes y bonitos! Yo quiero! jajajaaj ahora me dieron muchas ganas de intentarlo. Mil gracias por llevarnos en esta aventura, Fran. 😘😘😘

[@Cybriana]

Esa zine quedó hermosa!! La riso también se hizo popular donde vivo y hace varios meses que estoy pensando en hacer algo. Ahora definitivamente voy a planear un proyecto ! Gracias Fran, motivadora como siempre!!

[@HeyFernance91]

fran this is so lovely!!!! the zine turned out so nice and it's so cool that you can go and do stuff like this now you're in nyc, living the dream!

[@BecWelsford]

Oh my gosh, this is so cool! I saw someone post about RISO on Instagram, but I didn't understand fully what it was or how it worked. Thank you so much for sharing! I feel very inspired xD

[@OnlyHeroLeftxinxMan]

I'm learning how to use a riso right now-- its such a weird, exciting process!! the overlapping of colors is so beautiful!

[@ThickWings]

mad cute, so fire. welcome to New York !!

[@soominssi7353]

Thank you so much for making this video!! I'm a graphic design student but find it a bit scary to start using the machine on my own lol. So I'm preparing myself by watching riso videos. This was a big help to me thank you!

[@hanngo89]

Wow! Thank you for sharing what you learned, Fran! Because of you, I also got to learn about making zine from RISO printing. It is always an amazing and rewarding feeling when learning something new. Keep up the amazing work, Fran! You are awesome!!

[@DazzlingBooks]

SOO BEAUTIFUL FRAAAAAAAN

[@vagabond2138]

i love the way you fold / the technique behind this tiny book ! Have a nice day !

[@J.mcrae706]

Props to you for hand color separating everything

[@leyaluna102]

MY TWO ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE THINGS FRAN AND RISO AAAAHHHHH

[@yosotattoo]

Lovely! Best wishes!

[@korneliajewelry]

Love this video! Congratulations with the 5k on patreon, you’re working sooo hard, hope you enjoy the classes (very curious what other classes you will take). Workshops /classes are the best, to learn new techniques every once ‘n a while. I used to make a lot of zines in this accordeon shape, I made a very small one (A5 size) as a “Thank you-card” when someone buys some of my jewelry.

[@premtabassum4208]

Please do videos like this.. So not only can enjoy watching you but also can learn something ❤

[@KryaDiere]

Woah I didn't know RISO still exists! I had a hand-printing riso machine kit (like a mini silkscreen printing holder(?) with screen that you can expose with the machine) from Japan when I was young. My mini riso machine broke way before the inks ran out, and they never dried out so I used it for regular screenprinting many years later. The last I heard the company is now closed down/no longer in Japan? Cool to watch your video and see that it's digital now. I miss doing this! :)

[@serenity8910]

OMG you picked my fav short story from Jen's book!

[@holauniverso5416]

Fran, thanks for the Franzine! :)

[@morgan5670]

can i just say im really glad i found you? your videos make me very happy, and i love seeing you every friday. youve really been an inspiration to have fun an expirement with different art supplies, and to be not afraid of making mistakes. thanks for being you fran, you' kickstarted my love for art once more!

[@joycemelo88]

Thanks for the video, Fran! Kept hearing about riso printing but didn't know how it actually worked. It's really cool! And the final zine turned out amazing!

[@TheMojcaa]

Your videos always cheer me up (even when I'm feeling good already!) and inspire me to create more. Thank you, Fran.

[@waterlillae]

YESSS SVA!!! that’s my school ! i’m taking the riso class in the spring semester and i cannot wait :)))

[@elaeria]

So cool! I'm glad you had a great time at the course. Your zine turned out beautifully. Have a great weekend, Fran!

I was thinking your home wad dark...now i am so happy to see you with highlights 🙂 love you 🙂 🌹 💟 and successful drawing 😘 💕

[@gabialmeidaworld]

You are so amazing and inspiring! The world is better with your lovely videos 😘

[@AnnaTalks-videos]

This is SO cool!! It makes my brain light up and feel excited! Your zine also looks amazing!

[@claudiam.5487]

So cool! I did a workshop when I was still in Master (Illustration) classes in Germany. Loved the Risograph and our class also did a kind of zine and even published it :D

[@starremix]

Yay I finally got to watch this. I need to look up this weekend class if it isn't too pricey.

[@MattSmithIllustration]

I've got the RISOLAB chart up on my wall! They're super great! So psyched to take a riso workshop this coming weekend

[@gatubelasify]

[@xSlsox]

I loveee the zine, and now I really want to try printing with RISO

[@melmcmahon3347]

So rad! I wanna do a Riso workshop here in Melbourne now! Thanks for sharing the process, your zine looks amazing!

[@ambergreene5985]

I've never heard of Riso printing - looks fun!

[@SelinClayton2]

I love making zines but I've never heard of the Risograft. Definitely need to research it more, thank you!

[@letitiathompson3694]

Thanks for sharing this with us! What a fab zine design! x

[@ritatocta7583]

I am so grateful for this video, had no idea about Rizo. It turned out beautiful 💞 wish you nothing but the best ❤️

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Such a cute zine! I'm glad you're trying new things.

[@janelane9120]

Awesomeee!! Y quedó hermoso! Me encantó el video y para hacer un regalo es una excelente idea tener ese patrón y hacer un mini libro. Me encantan tus videos Fran! Gracias por compartir tu felicidad 😁

[@leafyswords]

Ive heard so much about riso! Thanks so much for the intro! It came out so cute
