Color in the World with Dana Komsky
Not everyone can travel to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa, even under normal circumstances—but just about everyone can turn their phone on. While social media apps can be used to post selfies, pet videos, and jealousy-inducing photos of some stranger’s homemade pizza, they can also serve as a font of inspiration for many users. Right [...]
Black Queer Lives Matter
In both online and offline spaces, it has been more important than ever right now to elevate Black lives and Black queer lives. Many times when LGBTQIA+ issues are brought up, Black and indigenous people of color (BIPOC) are overlooked or excluded. As part of the queer Black community, Seattle artist Jadzia Parker wanted to give a [...]
The Art of the Letter
Who says snail mail is dead? Personalized handwritten card company Punkpost begs to differ. Co-owners and couple Alexis “Lex” Monson and Santiago Prieto came up with the idea for Punkpost after Lex sent Santiago a handwritten letter of encouragement in the mail.

It may be hard to believe, but our conference rooms didn’t have any clocks! Meetings would get off track, run late, or just carry [...]
Artist Spotlight: Breanna H.
This month’s Artist Spotlight is on Breanna, one of our Production Artists. She has displayed some of her photo collages, which a fellow Inker described as “phosphorescent,” and I would have to agree. The colors are luminous and the tropical subjects are a great contrast to the changing seasons. Breanna was first inspired [...]
Artist Spotlight: Nathan J.

Nathan began working at CustomInk on our Production Art team, but now has transferred to the Sales and Service team, so he is one of our “Talk to a Real Person” persons.
