Hello,
I'm Lari, aka. Larisanjou: a writer and artist of Puerto Rican heritage from the United States, now living in France. I love making food and art, and RENDERED is a project that combines those loves with my curiosity in the world around me.
RENDERED is?
RENDERED is a fusion of food, history, and art--richly illustrated essays and tidbits of food facts. In my essays, food and history often intersect with personal anecdotes and other wide-ranging subjects like food science, linguistics, feminism, the legacy of colonialism, and more.
Free subscribers receive:
RENDERED illustrated essays, released 3 times a year.
Art Medleys: seasonal visual roundups of my newest artwork, and updates from my art studio.
Paid Subscriptions
By becoming a paid subscriber, you will gain access to bonus content, plus my gratitude for your financial support of my writing. RENDERED is an independent, one-woman operation: I research, write, and illustrate every piece of writing.
Paid subscribers will, in addition to the illustrated essay, receive access to TIDBITS narrated essays, released 6 times per year. (This means exclusive access to my buttery voice on audio, narrating a subject in food/drink history. You'll get access to the audio track, accompanied by the transcript and an illustration.) Art Collector-tier subscribers receive a custom, original art piece from me!
There are 3 ways to gain access to my paid content:
Monthly subscriptions (5€/month) receive:
Access to TIDBITS narrated essays
Yearly subscriptions (30€/year) receive everything above, plus:
Art Pack: "The Best of RENDERED, Part I" zine (while supplies last), RENDERED logo sticker, 2 postcard-size prints
Art Collectors (65€/year) receive everything above, plus:
One original piece of artwork (A6/postcard-size)
Subscriptions may be gifted--you can get these perks yourself, or you can gift them to someone special.
If you're a current Yearly Subscriber, you may e-mail me (lari@larisanjou.com) with shipping details to receive your zine and sticker.
All art featured in RENDERED is by me! See more of my art on Instagram.
