About us: We are lovers of ink. Specifically, black ink. As a medium which has been around for thousands of years, we celebrate the purity and simplicity of the application.   

Our Name: 墨水(Pinyin: mo shui), which is pronounced “Moe Shuay.” The literal meaning from Chinese to English is, “black water.”

Why this Group exists: To feature work done with traditional black ink, to help others learn about the medium, and to promote Deviant Artists who interpret subjects utilizing black ink line and/or washes done with same.

In short, we exist to let people know that “Ink, it’s not just for breakfast, anymore!”

Who can join: Anyone. You don’t have to work in ink to join, however, we will only accept submissions done in traditional black ink.

How to Join: Simply click on the “Join” button. If you don’t want to become a member, we invite you to watch us in order to see what others create using this traditional medium.

Submitting: We want to present exceptional ink work (sorry, no mixed medium), so submissions will be monitored for quality and consistency. Yes, the criteria we apply is tough. We want your best. We want others to see your best. Think before you submit.
    To submit, you must be a member. Then your work will be reviewed. In the event that your work is not accepted, you will be given a reason why not. To keep things consistent, there is a limit of 2 deviations per week.   

If you happen to see outstanding ink work around DA, your suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Anyone can suggest a favorite. Just make sure it isn't your own work. If it is, it will be declined.   

Styles: We will take a look at anything, as long as it is traditional black ink. We invite you to browse through our galleries and favorites to get a better idea of what we like to share.

Subject: As this group accepts all ages (as well as can be watched by anyone), we are not able to accept mature themed works.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to send us a note or post it on our front page.

And, as always..."Think Ink!"
