Inkygoodness are a Bristol-Birmingham based duo who organise events and exhibitions providing a unique platform for emerging talent to showcase their work alongside established artists.

In 2008, Inkygoodness hosted their first art exhibition at a small gallery on Gloucester Road in Bristol. This venture inspired a successful group show later the same year: Inkygoodness 2 – Hopes & Fears, showcasing the work of 16 illustrators, artists and designers based in and around the South West.

Inkygoodness are steadily gaining recognition and plan to continue organising exhibitions and events throughout the U.K, to fulfil their ambition to offer a unique opportunity for professional development through self-promotion, collaboration and networking.

Their collaborators include illustrators and designers such as Andy Council, Dave Bain,Vicky Newman (House of Aces), Mike O’Shea, Themlot Collective, Monsters monsters and DocVek.
