This riso print design is my ode to homeliness: a place where everything comes together, from everyday chaos to cozy corners. I was inspired by my own cozy house and retro interiors and made an illustration of a house. Especially by how it is with the housing market now and sometimes you have to put everything close together to make it fit! :) And everything, the old-fashioned TV to the cheerful plants - contributes to the feeling of a house full of life.
This riso print has a limited edition of 80.

For each print I use a Japanese printing technique called riso printing. This technique uses an environmentally friendly and rice-based ink which results in the fluorescent and cheerful hues that bring the prints to life. Because each color is a separate layer that goes through the riso printer, the layer sometimes shifts and each print has its own unique texture and character, making each print original and just a little bit different. It is a sustainable and unique way of printing
One of the characteristics of riso prints is that they never dry completely. They always remain a little 'wet', but fortunately they do not smudge unless you really rub over the print. So be careful when handling the riso prints. If the print does show smudges, you can remove the riso ink with an eraser.
