Print isn't Dead

One of the most innovative and clever art periodicals on the market, known simply as Color Ink Book, springs from the creative minds of brothers Adam and Jason Washburn. It is Color Ink Book's simplicity that makes it so unique and such an amazing "why didn't I think of that" kind of idea. True to its name, Color Ink Book is on the surface just a magazine filled with black and white illustrations which the reader is welcome to color in as they see fit. But the catch is that the Brothers Washburn have the ability to lure some of the greatest artistic talents working in the contemporary art and illustration scenes into creating the eye-catching graphic artwork that graces its pages.

A coloring book aimed at adults (!), Color Ink Book not only allows avid art collectors and fans alike to afford a plethora of images by their favorite artists, but if they should get the urge to color, offer a unique opportunity to interact with artists who are often otherwise inaccessible. Color Ink Book's innovation is why, in a time when it seemed like financial suicide to venture into print media, The Brothers Washburn and Color Ink Book are flourishing.

As Color Ink Book offers its readers something unique, Shades of Ray will offer collectors something unique - the first ever opportunity to acquire 3 dimensional sculptures of their mascot Rayola. While artists have been creating their own 2D versions of Rayola on Color Ink Book's website, many of the talented contributors to the periodical will take it one step further by bringing him to life! For those looking to procure artwork truer to Color Ink Book's format, black and white 2D art will adorn the walls.

The Brothers Washburn cutting-edge concept will combine forces with Industrial Squid and WWA gallery to forge one of the most exciting art openings in the new contemporary art scene this year.
