promotional print

It seems quite standard that as means of promotion that artists will send out physical material. It's also quite standard that, although beautiful, a lot of it must be thrown away or isn't noticed so much because a lot of it is very similar. I'm proposing to create an A4 two colour riso print, something that hopefully follows these ideas...

  • big enough to be noticed, but not cumbersome
  • interesting print process and quality
  • cost effective
  • not so valuable that it matters too much if discarded :-(
I'll be printing at least 100, so I could even sell some too. 


After asking on social media where for recommendations of riso printers, I was very kindly offered by someone who would do it for me for a very good / cost price!! Other presses mentioned:

  • Hato Press
  • Ditto
  • Risotto
  • MK Press
  • Crumb Cabin
What matters most is the IMAGE ITSELF! It needs to be at once
  • decorative enough to go on a wall, in an office, or even taken home...
  • innovative and exciting and stand out
  • potentially appeal to a wide array of people- art directors and people working in publishing, agencies, editorial and children's illustration
  • something that describes my practice, or at least, the key element of it 
So... if I boiled down what I do, what would this image become? 
  • something with shape and movement
  • a tiger? that's too tempting :-(
  • figures, forms
  • expression, sentiment
