Media Release -- The Inkwell Awards wants to announce that the fifth season is in full swing this spring after a strong opening.

The only noticeable difference between 2012 and 2011 will be the number of convention stops on our Inkwell tour. "Last year consisted of a heavy show schedule," continues Bob, "but this year my dad was sick for several months and passed away in February with my mom moving in with me, leaving me barely able to keep up with operations and assignments let alone convention hopping.
