IN.K: A Paper’n’Ink Community Potluck Project where anyone submits anything about anything, and that encourages artistic expression in folks from all corners of society. I worked with a team of three other people to put on this project, and I collaborated with the writers to find out how they wanted their piece illustrated, and then I produced images around their words with the look and feel that they desired and felt complimented what they were trying to evoke in the reader. We received funding from KW Awesome to print and distribute this publication:
