Krink is a brand name of inks and markers sold by Krink, Inc. The inks and markers are made in the USA. It was started by artist Craig Costello aka "KR".[1] "Krink" is a portmanteau of "KR" and "ink". Costello started making his own markers in the early 90's and then began selling his homemade product at New York City retail store Alife.[2] The product took off and the brand has grown from there. He has built up an internationally recognised brand creating markers and pens with drips in mind. He also has a burgeoning line of various tools and colors ready to make a mess with.[3] The product is now distributed and sold worldwide. In 2012 Krink was featured on and designed the cover of Clout Magazine.[4]

Krink has collaborated with Alife, Nike, Levi Strauss & Co., Mini (BMW), Casio, Smith Optics, Carhartt, Incase, Kidrobot, Monument Snowboards, Married to the Mob, Juxtapoz, Colette, Shut Skateboards, and Montanacans.
