“Details Magazine” assembles a series of images drawn from collaborative work made during meetings of Sumi Ink Club. Each source drawing was made by a group of people working together to create an accumulation of different marks, images, and styles on a large scale. The number of possible details contained within each of these drawings is infinite; here we have chosen to present a select few to show this accumulation at a closer scale (in this case, as the original drawings might appear from about three inches away). Each of these images was made by the public and exists in the public domain. Please feel free to reuse, reshape, and redistribute these images, to host your own Sumi Ink Club meeting, or to publish your own “Details Magazine” as you see fit.

This issue of “Details Magazine” contains work from Sumi Ink Club meetings held in the following locations:

Gallery One (Melbourne, Australia)
Westchester Community College (Valhalla, NY)
SiteLA and Mandarin Plaza (Los Angeles, CA)
Ulster Hall (Belfast, Ireland)
Pasadena Museum of California Art
