Happy New Year! Happy New Blog! - An introduction to Konton Ink

Welcome to what will be the first of many monthly or perhaps even weekly posts from the team here at Konton Ink. Although this may not be the most interesting blog to the average reader, it is an opportunity for us to give you a glimpse of the behind the scenes goings on at Konton Ink. It will mostly be a collection of updates and additions that have been made to our product range over the previous month or a peek at what's ahead, but what you may not know is that our team here at Konton Ink is actually quite small. It does mean we can get super busy and we have to handle a bit of everything, but it does also mean we can give our work the personal touch. So on that note for an introduction to Konton Ink, my name is Zen. I’m the head designer here at Konton Ink and I’ll be the one providing these little updates on our collection of fun printed designs


As a quick introduction to try and keep this semi short and sweet, I’m pleased to say that last year we introduced some new items to our range of printed products. We've introduced art prints - a personal favourite of mine as most of these are drawn by me, woo!

Look at that beautiful neon bulldog, what a happy boy.


We've added printed mugs - I'm more than happy to fuel my caffeine addiction while I test these out

Okay, so the dressed part might be a lie. I do love working from home.


And we're in the process of upgrading our hoodie and t-shirt range so that our designs are printed onto organic and sustainable cotton, a personal win for the eco warrior in me!

We plan to add much much more so that our range of printed items can cater to all, whether it’s to show off your hobby or announce your fandom to the world, I want our products to be the best they can be for both you and the environment. I sincerely hope that my artwork and designs are not only high quality but that the clothing and items they are printed onto are long lasting and environmentally friendly too. Perhaps I should write a little something about what we're doing for the environment in my next post.


Now personally I am a geek at heart, I love videogames, sci-fi and fantasy, but the inspiration for designs comes from my life as well as my own personal tastes, so in the coming days and weeks I’ll be adding in designs that are inspired by my friends and family. This will mean more designs for families, sports and general lifestyle choices. I aim to have a huge choice for everyone and anyone that likes our work and products, so watch this space and keep checking back! We may just have something new that you're going to love.

As a last little note on our changes to the range, we've introduced some new colours in our printed hoodies and T-shirts, this means you may see a few old designs get bumped up the list as "new" because we've added in the new colours on the clothing choice for these, if you like deep earthy colours we've added a lovely new green, red and purple in the organic T-shirt range! And I know we've been looking at similar shades for our printed hoodies too.

Anyways I hope you've all had a lovely start to the new year, and I hope you like what we've got planned for the days ahead. If you ever can't find anything or if you have a special request for something you can't see, just drop us a message, we'll do what we can to help you out!


For now though, take care of yourself and enjoy a small photo of me with my black and white lion drawing printed onto one of our black and white mugs (purchased by my lovey mummsy, thank yooouuu mum!)
