Profile: Paul Brinker of Inkdt.com

Why did you start your business?

I started Inkdt.com because music and art are my two biggest passions and I have always been looking for an opportunity to combine them. Guitar skins is an exciting way to do this, which I also believe helps benefit musicians like myself, to further express our own creativity.

How did you come up with the idea?

I saw the emerging technology/market of skins for cell phones, laptops, & wall graphics. and thought, "Why can't something similar be applied to my guitar?"

What is the biggest surprise in starting your business?

The biggest surprise in starting my business is how quick, easy and affordable it is to start an online business these days.

What inspires you?

Music is what inspires me the most. It is ever-changing, evokes energy, emotion, culture and style all at the same time.

What company founders do you admire and why?

Johnny Cupcakes. He has a very personal story and an exceptionally branded business. He has always stayed true to who he is and is openly connected to his customers.
