Reprinting Everyone: Back at Spudnik Press!
I revisited a piece I made in 2020—Everyone—for a brand-new risograph reprint, now in a vibrant 4-color palette!
Today I went back to Spudnik Press to reprint my 2020 piece Everyone!
After last week’s solo printing session, I was itching to get back in and print something new. That’s when I remembered—I've been giving away Everyone so often that I’m nearly out of stock. Time for a reprint!
The original version was printed in fluorescent pink and blue, but this time I wanted to experiment with a new palette: fluorescent orange, fluorescent pink, federal blue, yellow, and light teal.
Since you never really know how risograph colors will interact until you print them, I started with a pink and orange base. For the second layer, I tried layering light teal, federal blue, and yellow individually to see what worked best.
At first, I was excited about creating a pink-yellow-orange gradient—but it turns out the yellow was way too bright, and it made the word “everyone” hard to read. Then I tried federal blue over pink, but that combo didn’t really pop.
In the end, the winning combinations were:
- fluorescent pink + light teal
- fluorescent orange + federal blue
- or sometimes + teal instead
I also finished cutting the paper and signing each print. Now I’m fully stocked and ready to hand these out or bring them along to upcoming fairs and pop-up events!
