About Spirit Ink
Spirit Ink began in a moment of frustration.
My wife received orders to Japan and I couldn’t go with her. Not because I didn’t want to, but because I was tied down by money and responsibility and the reality of staying behind.
The hardest part is knowing we’ll be apart.
Out of that weight I needed an outlet, and I needed a path forward, and creating gave me both. For the first time in a long time I felt relief and a spark.
The name Spirit Ink was hers, and that made it more than just a project. Even with distance ahead of us it became something we share, and my son now adds his own ideas and designs, and that roots it even deeper in family.
What started as a way to cope has grown into a community of more than 1800 people who connect with this work, and that means more to me than I can put into words.
I won’t tell you what to feel when you wear it, because the beauty of art is that it belongs to you. But I do hope, in some way, it makes you feel proud the same way it does for me.
