Shark's Ink. is a notable contemporary American print publisher. Since 1976, Shark's has published prints and multiples by a distinguished group of artists.

Shark's Ink. has printed and published an extensive and eclectic body of prints, often challenging the assumptions and limitations of printmaking while collaborating with many of the most distinguished and innovative contemporary American artists working today.

Shark's is one of only a handful of publishers where the Director and Master printer is the same person. On the spot decisions are made by Master printer/Director Bud Shark and the artists during every aspect of the collaborative printmaking process- from how a plate can be made to the appropriate paper to be used for a particular image.

Techniques used in the studio have included lithography; monotype- using watercolor, oil pastels and other materials; metal leaf, chine collé, embossing and collage, as well as innumerable innovations for cutting and printing woodblocks and other relief prints; and the engineering and construction of three-dimensional lithographs.

Prints published by Shark's Ink. are included in numerous private and public collections including MoMA, NY; The Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; Yale University Art Gallery, CT; The New York Public Library, NY; The Library of Congress, DC; The Art Institute of Chicago, IL; The Hirshhorn Museum, Smithsonian Institution, DC, The Philadelphia Museum of Art and many others.

Shark's Ink. is a member of the International Fine Print Dealers Association.
