An appreciation and recognition for the craft and artists of comic book inking

The Inkwell Award committee announces with deep regret that founder, Tim Townsend, due to personal reasons has decided to step down from his position and return his awards.  Tim has made this decision due to a series of unfounded and malicious personal attacks upon his character and integrity and time constraints which prevent him from giving his fullest attention for the awards for 2009.  It is with sadness that the committee have accepted this decision and we wish Tim all the best for the future and hope that he will return to the Inkwell Awards that he helped found in the future.  Tim's input and knowledge have been invaluable and his presence will be both missed and not easily replaced.  At this point in time the committee have no plans on searching for a suitable candidate for the vacant spot on the committee.

Due to Tim Townsend returning his awards, some categories have been revised.
The following artists all received votes in the Inkwell Awards.  However not all were eligible under the definition of an inker being an artist who has inked more pages than pencilled during their career.  All artists who received a vote have been included here to give an idea of the scope and diversity of artists nominated.
