Q: And just who is cgk.ink?

cgk.ink is a collection of designers, artists and craftspeople who love what they do. We also realized that digital production means we can have a worldwide market without onerous markups, logistics or difficulty. We are stylish, geeky and well-versed in ecommerce. We create designs inspired by our cultures in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa. We think there are some Aussies among us, but not sure. Likewise with the Secret Antarcticans. We know you're among us. We are based in Los Angeles, California (DTLA to be exact) but we welcome all time zones! The site takes its name from its founder's initials: cgk (Christopher Gregory Karwowski, thanks - say that 10 times quickly) and the ink part from seeing no difference between a writer or a designer or a painter. It's all just ink!

Q: Just how ecological are you?

Way green . One the biggest steps that we've taken is to stop talking and start doing. Stripe Climate is a big, important step for us. Stripe is (as you may know) is our online merchant processor/money people. And we chose them because they also have made a compelling case: aggregate contributions can fund globe-changing efforts. We are an early adopter of this program and we are transparent about it. The contribution from each sale comes from us, not your bottom line. We source our materials from providers globally who understand this is not a "good PR" sheme, but fundamentally important to our survivial.
