As a way to thank the backers of my crowdfunding, I made a risograph print that I posted to everyone that supported my campaign along with a physical copy of Salamanca Blues Part 1: Sand. This is the print:
The artwork I used for this print run is the illustration I created for the Drink&Draw Salamanca Blues Special which took place on 1st September 2022, participants made drawings inspired on themes related to my comic.
Here's the announcement of the Drink&Draw used on social media (poster design by Joe Stone) and the ilustration I created for this special event with the theme "What will the menu be linke in the future?".

Risograph is a semi-analog printing technique using soy-based wet inks and stencils. Variations occurring within print runs makes each print unique. I used four inks (yellow, blue, fluorescent pink and black) and the RISO screen-covered effect which halftone look is perfect to celebrate the self-publishing comics culture and to thank the support of my backers.
