One Drop of Ink, Infinite Possibilities
Every October, sketchbooks, papers, and social media around the world come alive thanks to the Inktober challenge. Artists, illustrators, and complete beginners pick up their pens, brushes, or ink and create something new every day based on a given prompt. Inktober is a celebration of creativity, consistency, and the joy of making art.
And because at kaš-mi-daš stationery we believe that paper, ink, and imagination belong together, we invite you to join in again this year.

A Short Look Back at Inktober’s History
Inktober was created in 2009 by illustrator Jake Parker. His goal was simple – to make one ink drawing every day in October to improve his skills and build a regular drawing habit. What started as a personal challenge quickly grew into a global movement that now includes thousands of participants from all around the world. Each year, there’s an official list of prompts that connects artists across continents.
