Spilled Ink

Spilled Ink is a YouTube channel owned by American YouTubers Daidus and Emirichu, where they (as long-time digital artists) attempt to do traditional art.
==History==
On May 6, 2024, after a long hiatus from uploading, Daidus uploaded a video where he talks about feeling burnt out on doing art as a YouTube career.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snYjcrttkbg However, Daidus said in the video that during his hiatus, he has gained a newfound appreciation for traditional art after he decided to draw on a shiki board, among other reasons (e.g. the rising popularity of AI art in recent years). As a result, he and Emily decided to create the Spilled Ink channel, uploading the first video on it the same day, with a "Couple Drawing Challenge".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfOq_ghDzuc
==Trivia==
*The channel's mascot, which mainly appears in the intro (being thrown by Emily), is a "strawberry squid" named Ichika. It was made out of Daidus's interest in squids (which produce ink) and Emily's obsession with strawberries.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8mOBldcPzs
**The name is a combination of the Japanese words for strawberry (いちご [ichigo]) and squid (イカ [ika]).
*All videos are edited by Mudan and his team.
