Inkygoodness Collective is a creative hub where illustrators meet, collaborate and access industry opportunities.
Inkygoodness is a global creative community on a mission to connect, inspire, and empower the next generation of artists and creative entrepreneurs.
What began in 2010 as a small passion project has grown into a vibrant international platform with a worldwide audience of over 75,000. Through talks, workshops, bootcamps, and courses, we provide illustrators and creative professionals with the skills, confidence, and support they need to grow thriving, sustainable careers.
In 2021 we launched Make Your Mark, a professional development programme that quickly evolved into a six-month Bootcamp, attracting 500+ applicants from around the world. Since then, we’ve helped hundreds of illustrators refine their voice, grow their confidence, and take their freelance careers to the next level.
In 2022 we founded Inkygoodness Collective — a membership community offering ongoing connection, collaboration, and career growth. With a dynamic programme of live talks, workshops, and curated resources, the Collective supports illustrators at every stage of their journey — from emerging graduates to established professionals.
