Influence Haus | City of Ink

The project / 25

After going through a change of ownership, renovation and refurb, City of Ink is now relaunched under the new ownership and direction of Jake King, recently retired Richmond football player.

“Can’t read properly they said, dropped out of school they said, there’s not much hope for him they said.” These are the comments people said to Jake King a lot growing up, and he has spent a lot of his life proving them wrong.
