The FreshInk studio has been a wreck as of late.  It's not because we are a bunch of neanderthals, although some might say we are, it's because we have been undergoing a much needed renovation.  We are exhited about the transformation our space has undergone while keeping it's charm and amazing natural light feel.

The build out was a necessary part of a new project we are starting called Injoy Studios.  More on that in the near future.

If you are downtown you should stop on by and say "hi" and grab a cup of coffee.  We haven't re-opened just yet, but it won't be long now that we are in the home stretch!

Every once in awhile we get some ants in our pants and we create something just to create.  That is partially the case with our new online surf shop Recycled Surf.  After spending a combined billion hours looking through all the knick knacks on Craigslist we decided to create a site that specialized in just one product, used surf boards.  We had a quick brain storming session & got to work & in a few days the site was up & functioning.  We have a few kinks to work out but if you have a surf, skim or kite board for sale, throw it up on the site for FREE.  We are also interested in feedback on how we can make the site better so fire those off to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

At FreshInk we are all about great design.  That greatness might ooze from the minds and tablet pens of the F.I. crew or from a workshop in Nantucket.  It might be a web based creative tour de force or a hand stamped leather riding saddle.  Great design is the type of thing that when viewed is instantly appreciated.  It's not unlike a beautiful woman or a handsome pair of sneakers. 

For this reason we created Freakin Fantastic.  It's not a big fancy award or large cash prize, and your Gram won't see you on the evening news.  Think of Ftastic as a gentleman's tip of the hat and a long awaited pat on the back.

This weeks Ftastic award goes to Geekhouse Bikes, a custom bicycle company run by Marty Walsh, out of Boston.  The craftsmanship that goes into each ride is evident and the personality of the company only adds to my desire to own one of these freakin fantastic bikes.

So good on ya Marty, thanks for not being boring & expect an order for a FreshInk Fixie soon!

And this my friends, is a montage. A montage consisting of photos that Dustin and I have taken. Kayak companies, restaurants, brochures, cute ladies. It ain't nothin' but a thang. The best part? We love doing it. If we could choose between photography and food, we'd choose food, hands down. Not really, but let's just pretend we do.
