BLXCK INK is a story. At first glance now it looks like a podcast and maybe a clothing brand. This story started over a decade ago as a coffee van rolling through the streets of Bunbury. Long before cameras, microphones and custom apparel, I (Jake Kerr) would spend my days serving coffee to tradies, business owners and locals across the South West.

BLXCK INK took a new shape as coffee van customers started asking where they could buy BLXCK INK shirts. That demand started a new chapter. What began as a side project evolved into producing apparel, creating content and eventually building a production studio for clothing and media.

Today, I blend optimism, creativity and myself into the character that is BLXCK INK. Through clothing and conversations, I create space for growth, entertainment and expression that can be shared and enjoyed by my community.

The goal has never been to chase headlines or controversy. It's about telling my story in the most real and organic way I know how.

At its core, BLXCK INK is still driven by the same thing that fuelled that little coffee van all those years ago: growth. Growth in business, growth in health, growth in mindset and growth in community. If my story proves anything, it's that you don't need to have all the answers on day one. You just need to be willing to start, keep showing up, and stay curious about what's possible next.

My growth has always come from from saying yes and figuring things out later. I’m self taught in design, printing, content creation, marketing and business systems. Every adversity has been a gift to help build the foundation for everything that followed. -Jake Kerr
