Founder & DirectorInkygoodness
Birmingham, United KingdomFull Time
Inkygoodness (inkygoodness.com) is an art and culture platform that launched in 2010 with the sole purpose of showcasing emerging talent in illustration. Through innovative exhibitions, networking events, and creating online content designed to engage with our growing audience, we have dedicated ourselves to championing illustration, character design and visual art worldwide, building a global community of engaged young creative professionals (over 60k on social media).
From our sell-out ‘Play’ exhibition on Brick Lane in 2010 - featuring over 65 original artworks, prints and 3D sculptures inspired by the theme of play, to 'Character Totem' - a show of 30 large scale wooden totems featuring one-off designs by international artists - on display at Pictoplasma Berlin, we’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the most talented artists in the industry at early stages of their career.
Inkygoodness partnered with Glug Worldwide in 2014 to launch Glug Birmingham, a bi-annual design talks and networking event for local creatives, followed in 2015 by the launch of sister illustration agency WE ARE GOODNESS.
We're proud to have worked with a growing collective of global artists and illustrators over the years, including McBess, Good Wives & Warriors, Playground Paris, Supermundane, Alex Fowkes, Tado, David Shillinglaw, Sue Doeksen, Hattie Stewart, BURO BURO & many more.
We're proud to have collaborated as a media partner on a number of design events, festivals and conferences including Pictoplasma, Glug, OFFSET Dublin, OFFSET Sheffield and Us By Night, delivering live event coverage and marketing support through our social media channels.
