Hello,

I'm Lari, aka. Larisanjou: an artist/illustrator and writer 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. For more about me and my art, or to commission me, please visit my website!

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:

  1. RENDERED short-form posts, released on the 1st of each month.

  2. RENDERED illustrated essays (long-form writing), released 3 times a year.

  3. 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 receive access to TIDBITS narrated essays. (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.) Yearly subscribers receive an Art Pack (zine, sticker, prints) and Art Collectors receive a piece of original art.

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, 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.
