Blekkansiktene, the "inkfaces", live in a wondrous world. In fact, they live in our world, but not exactly where we live. They live where the palm trees, spruces and cactuses grow side by side and the desert, their very own "savannah", is surrounded by great mountains and mighty waterfalls. As you might notice, the natural landscape is quite extended and rich. Because Blekkansiktene themselves are a mix of different cultures, it makes sense that also their surrounding area (the nature) has become mixed itself. Their life is quite primitive: no television, no computers, no cars, no electricity at all, but I must admit that their culture is developing... Sometimes inventions from our world has taken a roundtrip and found their way to the primitive existance of Blekkansiktene. They act as human beings and may remind us about ourselves in our regular way of living. Although, these folks often have extremely bad luck and on top of that: they are very busy. They take new challenges all the time, they are put on tests and make historic discoveries. they relax.
In this "inkfaced community" there is no lack of creative expressions, just take a look and you will see their bad luck, their creative work, their mixed surroundings and hopefully they will communicate with you as much as they communicate with each other in the pictures.
