About

My name is Nate Smith and for as long as I can remember I’ve been interested in art. My first muse was my father’s Calvin and Hobbes paperback collections, from there it was graphic novelist Jim Lee. After taking several classes I realized that art was my passion. The Inkwell is a fulfillment of that passion. 

The Inkwell began as a way to reach people with my art. To influence them with my passion. The reason most people get tattoos or resonate with a song is that it has personal meaning to their lives. I wanted to give them a new way to express their inner meaning of life and struggles. Whether it is through commissioned art or tee shirts I hope to connect with you, the inner artist, in a unique way.
