The Colour of Ink

[catbert]

"Ink is our primal medium. It has always been with us, inscribing the evolution of humanity. The Colour of Ink uncovers the medium’s mystery and power through the eyes of Jason Logan, a visionary Toronto inkmaker. Working with ingredients foraged in the wild—weeds, berries, bark, flowers, rocks, rust—he makes ink from just about anything. Jason sends custom-made inks to an eclectic range of artists around the world, from a New Yorker cartoonist to a Japanese calligrapher. As the inks take on a life of their own, his playful alchemy paints a story of colour that reconnects us to the earth and returns us to a childlike sense of wonder."



(The cartoonist looks like Liana Finck to me.)

Great one @catbert, there was a documentary I saw a few years ago, on a senior Japanese Artist, , who lived with is wife in the middle of the forrest. They made their own inks from insects and berries. It was quite meditative and zen how they lived far from the madding crowd

Lovely,
Here it is. It's a French documentary. But you get the gist of it from the trailer:
