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:

This is the video I used to announce the complimentary RISO print during my corwdfunding
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.
