AK Ink
AK Ink was a local punk rock music scene zine put out by jenn and friends in Anchorage, Alaska from 2002 to 2006, and 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. While the zine concentrated on the local punk scene in Anchorage, it also included contributions contributed from the international punk and alternative community.
The main contributers of the zine include Jenn Gray, who ultimately quit the zine to finish her BFA, Myk Gray who is now a graphic designer, and Chris Coleman who became a stand-up comedian.
