The Start

Ink differently started as a place people, in Cape Breton, could go to find out about what was going on in the local visual arts scene. I intended it to be a portal to many other related sites and also somewhere I could showcase my (Steven Rolls) own work.

The “Ink Differently” name came about from some promotional pieces advertising my ink/dip pen paintings which I have been doing lately.


The saying has grown from there and now summarizes what I do as an artist.

The Now

As for now, I have started posting other members on the site. Listing their Statements and Bios, and giving them a clean site, which reflects their regions visual art scene, where they can house some images for display.

Meant to really showcase art on Cape Breton as a whole, the site gives professional and emerging artists a window into the local “Going Ons” and a one-stop site to just about all they could ask for.

I am dedicated to keeping the site professional looking and clean of trash (bad quality images, broken links, in your face advertising banners, etc.)

The Future

I hope to expand the site to cover Artists and Events from “Off Island”, bridging the gap between Cape Breton, the Main Land, and the rest of Canada.
