Brisbane based designer with a refined & exploitative approach. I’m a go-getter with grit; constantly experimenting with new & niche technology. There’s always a never ending list of personal
projects to further my journey as a designer.

Stephen John Bryde

@jstephenjohnbryde

I’m a spare-time artist and enjoy the freedom of just ‘creating’ outside of my daily design work. I work with markers in shades of grey, or water colours and brush pens.

Joel West

I’m a Practicing Artist studying at university. Always wanting to try new methods and ways to make my art and RISOFEST has given me an opportunity to do so. My artworks consist of digital illustrations of both figurative and abstract objects/people while also looking at dystopian-like concepts.

Sam Dow

@samperrydow

I’ve been wanting to do some Riso printing for a while now, So have been following @the_sunshinepress recent acquisition of a Risograph machine with great interest! Working mostly with photography, I want to see what the whimsical colours and off set imperfections can do to a photograph and more.

I’ve always wanted to experiment with riso-printing, my art practice involves a lot of bold colour’s so I’m excited to see what effects I can create with this new medium!

If there’s one thing I can’t say no to, it’s learning a new niche visual art form, so I’m really looking forward to getting my hands dirty with RISOFEST!

MANxMACHINE

@man_x_machine

Many artists use machines of some shape or form to facilitate their vision but I approach machines with a more collaborative mindset. Not just tools of the trade but entities that have their own inputs and nuances.Drawing machines, laptops, web servers, algorithms, laser cutters, projectors etc all affect the work in ways that I couldn’t predict and I actively make space for this in my approach.
