Documentary | Adobe “Inkwars”

Last month Adobe headed to WMCFest in Cleveland, Ohio to host Ink Wars, an analog drawing display of art on-the-fly with action set to the sounds of a DJ.

That’s right: No computers. No keyboards. And no 30-inch monitors.

Instead, each of the eight contestants was given one hour, black ink, a blank canvas and a (surprise) theme. When they were done, three judges selected a winner.

This two-minute video was excerpted from the hour-long event where each of the artists began with a different approach but ultimately proved that art and creativity and insight and inspiration don’t always happen sitting down.
