OT:New Inkwell Awards Ambassadors
The Inkwell Awards wants to welcome aboard artists Mike McKone (Avengers Academy, Teen Titans), Sal Velluto (The Phantom, Black Panther), and Trevor Von Eeden (The Original Johnson, Black Lightning) as new ambassadors for the non-profit organization to help support and promote it's mission. They join previous ambassadors editor Mike Marts and artists Adam Hughes, Ethan Van Sciver and Mark Brooks. IA founder Bob Almond said "Having these respected creative forces on the front lines is a huge deal for us as their names augment us in the areas of credibility, exposure, and fundraising. While all are notable pencillers, they recognize and appreciate the importance of quality comic book inking and they themselves have inked much of their own work."
