Hey! So we're back!
It's been, like, *checks watch* a year?
But things happen, our editor's been on hiatus making grief art, and the rest of us kind of went on pause without them.
But they're back now, and though everything's a little bit different, we're back as well.
Soon you'll be hearing about where we're appearing next, what we're working on, and how things have changed.
But for now, enjoy this photo of our new mascots!

In case you haven't noticed: we've rebranded!
Mostly because we're not doing The InkBlot Mag anymore (and the latest edition was always our profile picture).
But also, because we're not just that mag anymore.

Introducing:
Rory, with their piece Basilica in Mist

"Pictured: the infamous 600ml teapot from which Rory Hawkins Esq. played his 2020 rendition of ‘You Only Live Once/A Cruel Angel’s Thesis (E minor)’ in a timeless yet refreshing blend of alternative-rock and anime op.

Critics are calling it:

‘A new-age ode to cross-genre performance, quite the vibe.’
-Brisbane Ceramic Orchestra

‘Eine New-Age-Ode an genreübergreifende Performance, ziemlich viel Stimmung.’
-Beethoven 

‘One of the reasons we don’t go out drinking anymore.’
-Emmet, Rory’s friend

Despite these fabled claims, however, Rory maintains that he is a simple writer who just enjoys exploring ideas around expectations, perspective and the symbolism that plays in-between, especially in short stories…which is why he submitted a poem?"

Introducing:
Spotty, with their piece Housecats of the Apocalypse

'To the untrained observer Spotty appears to be a small, well-loved dog.
But in truth he is an intrepid explorer.
His spots are mostly faded, his stuffing has lost its spring but he has a journal of his adventures that would make Dora and the Thornberries blush.
When not venturing over land and sea he spends his time drinking tea and writing about his more harrowing experiences.'

Reintroducing:
Caitie, with their piece Fate

'Caitie Leigh’s road to pursuing writing has been one hell of a roller-coaster ride, one that has taught her to have the courage to defy people’s expectations and chase her dreams. She hopes to encourage her readers to do the same through her writing, for she would not be the person she is today if she didn’t have the strength, courage and persistence to believe in herself. Caitie loves to write thrilling mysteries and heart racing romance and fantasy. Her characters are clever, fearless and blissfully in love but in real life, Caitie Leigh is anything but her characters. While she has taught herself to have courage in her writing, she has never been in love herself. She’s a sucker for a great romance and gets giddy anytime a great love story evolves across the page. As a result, she loves to lose herself in her own writing.'

Introducing:
The new & improved Shandra, with their piece For The Love of Lists

'A restless soul with too much energy for her body and too many thoughts for her mind.
Believes that the past is something to be examined and learnt from but also thinks that believing that could just be an elaborate excuse to stay stuck.
Hasn’t made up her mind on a lot of things except that flowers are pretty.
Takes an absurd amount of pictures featuring flowers.
Would almost always rather be outside than indoors, and dreams of living in the countryside. A life as full of inspiration as it is flowers in her garden.
No more being caged.'

Introducing:
Brittany, with their piece India Ink

'Brittany was probably a mad scientist in a past life, maybe a plague doctor, or at the very least was burned as a witch. In her spare time, she likes crochet and reading fanfic in second person (it’s familiar to her since she once upon a time wrote Hetalia x reader fanfic on DA). Thankfully now she just writes weird s**t like this or unrestrained prose when overwhelmed. She is a filthy casual gamer/artist/cottage-core enthusiast, adores black liquorice & pusheen, and unironically speaks full "Hewwo, what’s this? OwO" with those closest to her.'

Reintroducing:
Jak, with their piece The Bugs

'Jak has been told that Kirwin is an Irish surname. Despite never having been to Ireland, or knowing any Irish people, Jak’s dad insists that there is some Irish gene within the Kirwin people that imbues them with a passion for poetry, song and Guinness. It is perhaps for these very reasons that Jak can often be found staggering around Coles in naught but sandals and a potato sack, singing Danny Boy and asking white collar businessmen where they have hidden truth.'
