Ah, I see Bob's project reached you too. :)

Did you design that award or was
that on the site? I couldn't find it.

I wish there were an inker database to
which people could refer when voting for these awards.

Yes, Elayne, the award graphic is on the Inkwell Awards site but it's a
thumbnail which makes it look like a small black image. Click it for the
enlarged version.

An inker database is a good idea and will likely be available
in the aftermath of the awards. In the meantime, The Grand Comic Book Database
is the best listing available and can be accessed from the "nominees"
link at Inkwell Awards.

I have often thought about doing an inkers database...perhaps I should. What
would you consider appropriate? Just the names, or the names and details of
their signifcant work?
