AK Ink was a punk rock music scene zine put out in Anchorage, Alaska from 2002 to 2006. It consists of 19 1/2 issues. The zine was known for its interviews, music, film, beer and show reviews, and also included art, comics, short stories, poetry, offensive horoscopes, and whatever else people wanted to contribute. It was created as a way to support the Anchorage music scene, and serve as a creative outlet for creator and artist Jennifer Gray. It also functioned as a forum for collaboration and creative contribution from the local community, as well as a way to document the scene. While it was initially intended to be a web-based zine, the fun of physically cutting and pasting the zine together took hold, and thus it became a staple publication. The zine was published every two months, both in print and on the web. Ak ink was open to all contributions and while it focused on the local Anchorage scene, the support from the national and international punk and alternative community became incorporated as a steady part of the zine.
Jennifer served as editor, producer and enforcer of contributions. Her boyfriend Myk Gray headed the music review department while also contributing to scene documentation and design. Funny man, and close friend, Chris Coleman, headed the film review department and also contributed with interviews, show reviews, and miscellaneous assignments. Jennifer, Myk, and Chris were also co-workers in a cold Alaskan warehouse where they all worked with their backs for low pay. The No Future philosophy embedded in manual labor and workplace disgruntlement fueled the working class aspect behind AK Ink. Myk Gray and Chris Coleman were also involved in the music scene as the guitarist and the drummer for the local punk band StuntCock. The zine included many artists and musicians as contributers, as the zine was focused on the community.
Because AK Ink was founded in punk rock, and more specifically in intentionally offensive, politically incorrect, scatologically inclined, low brow humor, some found the zine offensive. This is credited to Jennifer's personal interest in crass humor, and her lack of interest in censoring the contributions of others. While she takes full responsibility for all offensive remarks, she attempted to counter the rude approach by including all types of opinions, views, and counter remarks as part of the zine to represent the full spectrum of ideas and opinions from all AK Ink contributors as well as those with an affinity towards punk publications.
What AK Ink became after years of promoting and refining, was an invaluable documentation of the local Anchorage scene and punk community ranging from 2002 to 2006 with contributions firsthand from the scene itself.
Ak Ink's demise came in the spring of 2006 when Jennifer's interest in creative output demanded further attention to formal training in the arts. She ultimately quit the zine to finish her BFA. School to Jennifer was also an escape route from a future of hard labor. In the middle of issue 20, with half of the zine already posted online, and after a still unpublished Dead Kennedys interview, she abruptly quit the zine to attend to personal matters. The paper copy of issue 20 was never released. While notice of the decline of AK Ink was announced, submissions and contributions continued to pour in the mail until the PO Box was officially closed. To this day a large basket of contributions and submissions sits untouched waiting for retribution and review. The amount of contributions AK Ink had received testifies to the extreme support that the punk community has for each other. Because the online zine became defunct without proper backup, part of issue 20 is now lost. Jennifer's future intent is to re-release issue 20 and include reviews of all the lingering contributions and submissions. This will finalize AK Ink's existence and close the door on that chapter of scene documentation.
Jennifer's current interest has shifted to fine art, while incorporating aspects of punk rock and the zine culture. Her 2011 Thesis 'Rise Above' highlights this interest in a zine inspired collage of punk drawings and hand drawn typography. Her current work is also derived from these passions. Myk's interest in design saved him from a life of back labor, and with a portfolio that included design work for AK Ink, he secured a career as a graphic designer. Chris has also left the manual labor field to pursue a career in stand-up comedy and radio. His wit, which was exploited in AK Ink, has finally been put to good use. Notable and reoccurring contributors to the zine include Herbert Haygood (aka Wrick Luv, Wricky Bee, and Richie), Nathan Anderson (N8O), Angie Winfield, Elisa Honsacker, Ryan Murdock, Shane St. Clair, Ted Kim, David Broadway (Frenchy), Love Nut, Josh Medsker, Kara Simon, Michael Shaeffer, Matthew Johnson, and many many more.
