Trace it Forward

A quiet hour,
and someone to give it to.

I'll send you a page, free. Full color, covered in white lines — one black pen and it finishes itself in front of you. That's the hour you keep. The other half of Inkalia is passing a book on to someone who needs the same one.

Where should I send it?

A printable page, in your inbox in about a minute. I'll write when there's a new book, and never otherwise.

It's on its way

Print it, find a black pen, and give yourself ten minutes. If it's not there in a couple of minutes, check your promotions tab.

One more thing. When you finish it, keep an eye out for the books — they're meant to be traced and then handed to someone else.

The moment the picture appears

No blank page to face. No decisions to make. Just a white line, a black pen, and the quiet that shows up somewhere around the second minute.

The book isn't meant
to be kept

Trace a few pages. Sign the journey page in the back with your first name and your city. Then hand the book to someone who looks like they could use a quiet hour.

That's the whole idea. One book moving from hand to hand, carrying a little of everyone who held it. You get the calm first, and then you get to give it to someone else.

Every book we release carries a code, so when it moves we can follow where it goes. Your free page is where it starts.

None of them are hard

Trace

White lines on full color. One black pen. There's nothing to plan and nothing to be good at — the page carries you, and the picture appears as you go.

Sign

There's a page in the back for your first name and your city. Thirty seconds, and the book starts keeping a record of everywhere it has been.

Pass it on

Hand it to someone in person. The best part of ink tracing turns out to be watching somebody else find it for the first time.

Start with one page

Free, printable, and in your inbox in about a minute.
