Inky Meditations' tutorial-style videos have become a source of inspiration for aspiring artists worldwide, showcasing the calming and meditative process of creating art with ink and water. In this conversation, Inky shares the story behind their social media success, detailing how the combination of Instagram and TikTok allowed them to reach a massive audience. Despite the growing online presence, the motivation behind Inky's art has always been rooted in personal fulfillment - rather than monetary gain. We dive into the markers of success for Inky Meditations, where meaningful engagement and the impact on viewers matter more than financial rewards. Beyond the anonymous Inky Meditations account, Inky has had a diverse career, participating in various art projects and ventures under their “regular” artist name.

We discuss the creative process behind this venture, the challenges, and what it’s like to translate the meditative world of ink painting into a physical book.
