We’re evolving.

For the past five years, Inkygoodness Collective has been bringing illustrators together—to connect, learn, share experiences and grow their creative practice.

And as the creative industry changes, we think it’s important that we change with it.

So we’ve been asking ourselves a simple question:

What do illustrators need right now?

More content? More things to watch? More advice to save for later?

We don’t think so.

We think illustrators need each other.

They need opportunities to make meaningful connections. To exchange ideas and experiences. To discover new perspectives. To experiment, make things together and create opportunities that might not happen on their own.

That thinking has inspired the next evolution of Inkygoodness Collective.

Introducing Collab Membership

A new kind of membership built around connection, creativity and collaboration.

Collab Membership is a place for illustrators who want to actively participate in their creative community—not simply consume it.

A place to meet people beyond your existing creative circle, discover complementary skills and perspectives, start conversations and explore what you might create together.

Because your next great idea, opportunity or creative partnership might begin with someone you haven’t met yet.

Less scrolling. More making.

Over five years of building this community, we’ve learned that some of the most valuable moments happen when creatives connect with other creatives.

A conversation sparks an idea.

Someone shares an experience that changes your perspective.

Two people with completely different skills realise they could make something brilliant together.

Collab Membership is designed to create more of those moments.

Meet your creative people

Connect with illustrators at different stages of their careers, working across different disciplines, styles and specialisms.

Get to know the people behind the portfolios—and let them get to know you.

Make things together

Take part in creative Collabs that give you a reason to experiment, exchange ideas and combine your talents with other members.

Rather than waiting for collaboration to happen, we’ll create opportunities for it.

Keep your creativity moving

Show up for shared creative activities, conversations and experiences designed to spark ideas, encourage experimentation and keep you connected to your practice.

No pressure to have everything figured out.

Bring your curiosity, your creativity and a willingness to get involved.

Five years in. A new chapter begins.

Inkygoodness Collective has always been about supporting illustrators.

That isn’t changing.

How we do it is evolving.

We want to build a membership around what illustrators need now—more meaningful connections, more opportunities to participate, and more reasons to create alongside other people.

Collab Membership is the next step. And we’d love you to be part of where it goes.

Be first in line.

Join the waitlist and you’ll be among the first to hear when Collab Membership opens, what’s planned, and how you can get involved.

As we prepare to open the doors, we’re taking you behind the scenes…

Join the waitlist to receive a series of sneak peeks and reveals into your inbox before the doors officially open.

We’ll be sharing:

• Our four new creative themes that will shape your year inside Collab
• Sprint Challenges designed to get you creating and taking action
• Live events and industry guests to bring you closer to the people shaping illustration
• New ways to connect and collaborate with fellow creatives
• More opportunities to showcase and champion your work
• And a first look at the new Collab experience we’ve been busy building behind the scenes

I’ll also be sharing a little more about where Inkygoodness began, what we’ve learned from five years of running the Collective and why I believe community matters more than ever for illustrators right now.

This isn’t simply a new name or a fresh coat of paint.

It’s the next evolution of the Inkygoodness Collective — and I’m so excited to finally start sharing it with you.

Let’s see what we can make together.

Meet the Founder – Lisa Hassell

I’m Lisa Hassell, founder of Inkygoodness — an illustration graduate, creative director, curator, former illustration agent, design writer, mentor and educator.

My career has taken me across many sides of the creative industry, from championing emerging talent and curating exhibitions and events to representing illustrators, developing portfolios and connecting artists with opportunities.

Those experiences have shaped everything I’ve built at Inkygoodness and my belief that talent thrives when it’s supported by community, industry knowledge and meaningful connection.

Today, my focus is on creating spaces, programmes and opportunities that help illustrators develop their creative voice, get their work seen and build sustainable creative careers — fuelled by a deep belief in the power of human creativity and that there is a space for everyone to thrive in the creative industry.
