Production Day
I recently spent a day on the Pacific Northwest College of Art campus deep in zine production. I love teaching there because it’s a beautiful, historic building in the heart of Portland (and commuting downtown makes me feel like an Important Adult) but the university also has amazing facilities for printmaking and production. Printing The Circle of Eternal Return there was an excuse to use some of the labs and learn the printers a bit better (so that when my students inevitably have a printing issue 5 minutes before class despite my caution to not try and print 5 minutes before class, I can actually help troubleshoot).
Right next door to the PNCA Production Lab is the Riso Lab, which I just trained to be able to start using as well. I have a little bit of experience with Riso, mainly at Kate Bingaman-Burt’s studio here in NE Portland - Outlet - but it’s been a good while since I did any Riso printing. Super fun to get back into it and see the very cool software that works with the machines. Already brainstorming some ways to get my classes in there in the fall. Has anyone incorporated Riso into a class or seen some fun assignments/applications? Let me know if so!
The Twist
I still have quite a few issues of Real Simple I need to photograph and share (and more in the works), but here are the spots from the April 2023 issue. I’m really pleased with how the limited color palette worked here.
Freelance Availability
Lately I’ve been a bit more selective with the projects I take on as I’ve been busier with teaching school and barre but I do have some availability in July and August. My beloved Macbook Pro (mid 2014!) is on her last leg and will need to be replaced soon SO if you have an upcoming project, now is great time to reach out. hey@sunnyeckerle.com
Thanks as always for reading. If you pre-ordered a zine keep an eye out for the tracking information coming soon.
