Collection: Jupiter Star Power!

Kate Simonsen is a writer and artist living in Richmond, VA.

Her work is either hilarious or troubling (or maybe sometimes both!). There is a significant amount of recent-ish nostalgia in her art, with vintage pattern books, retro catalogues, and other ephemera being transformed into brightly colored, slightly surly risograph prints.

To understand risograph printing, imagine the worst copier you've ever had to use. Now, imagine a copier even more cursed that that.

And it only prints one color at a time. And the ink never completely dries. There will sometimes be slight variations in a series of risograph prints - this is part of the process and part of the charm.
