TREESWALLOWRISO

TREESWALLOW is an original illustration by Mathew Humphries depicting a Tree Swallow perched on a post, viewed from behind, created May 2026. The bird's iridescent blue-green plumage is rendered with layered linework that the RISO teal ink amplifies beautifully — the horizontal water-like texture in the background creates a serene, contemplative mood. 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.
