i declare it is time to share



These wonderful drawings were made during a summer session at PS 19 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn organized by Ms. Denise Schatz and her students. One of the boldest and most incredible chapters of Sumi Ink CLub to date, a total of 60 sumi ink artists ranging in age from 5 -9 made 6 large-scale, collaborative drawings in one day with markers. This session’s theme: superheroes + how sharing can be heroic.
Drawn by 10 hands. Many thanks to participants luke, sarah c., david, and thomas. So many amazing humans strolling through the door from around the world. If you see a sign on sunset blvd that says “Sumi Ink Club” follow the arrow, walk through the door, and pick up a brush. This is what can happen. See you in the future!!!



This book is the first physical object to spin off internet content from our favorite new media magazine, triple canopy. “Woven Waves and Sumi Cinema 1″ by Sumi Ink CLub, 43 pages, 4.25″ x 6.88″, perfect binding, black and white interior ink

“Sumi Ink Club’s collaboration with Triple Canopy exists online and in book form. Both versions feature two of the group’s drawings, each of which has been enlarged, divided into parts, contracted, and reconfigured. The resulting discrete, yet interconnected, segments manifest varying levels of distance from or closeness to the original ink drawings from which they were extracted. Digital and print incarnations of the project prompt different modes of spatial and temporal engagement with its components. Encountered across multiple forms, “Woven Waves + Sumi Cinema 1″ modulate between order and fluidity.”
