SUMMERTANAGERRISO

SUMMERTANAGER is an original illustration by Mathew Humphries depicting a Summer Tanager perched on a post, created May 7, 2026. The dense, organic cloud-like mark-making that fills the background creates an almost otherworldly atmosphere around the bird's warm crimson plumage — and this one translated beautifully to RISO, with the ink layering amplifying every texture. This listing is for the Risograph reproduction print of that illustration.

These are special limited Risograph reproductions produced by RISO Studio Arts, a local printmaking studio in Chinatown, Los Angeles. Color matching, color separation, and precise cardstock cutting were handled by printmaster technician Jun Ha.

Risograph printing is a stencil-based duplicating process that produces rich, layered ink tones with a distinctive texture unique to each print. Known for its vibrant ink saturation and slight natural variation between prints, Risograph is beloved in the fine art and zine communities for its warmth and handmade character — no two prints are exactly alike.
