๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ’› Floating an Idea โ€” A Community Where You Can Learn and Earn
Gโ€™day team, Iโ€™ve been thinking a lot about what HEFF Creative can becomeโ€ฆ and I want to share a little idea with you all.
This may or may not play out exactly as I picture it, but hereโ€™s the vision:
A creative community where you can learnโ€ฆ and also earn if you want to.
I want HEFF Creative to be the kind of place where people come not only to grow their skills, share their art, and be inspired โ€” but also a place where the outside world can come in and say:
โ€œHey team, Iโ€™m looking for an artwork โ€” who can help me?โ€
Imagine a simple โ€œCommission Wallโ€ where people can post:
  • โ€œI need a caricature for my great uncle.โ€
  • โ€œIโ€™d love a large abstract for my townhouse.โ€
  • โ€œIโ€™m filling a whole house and want custom art.โ€
  • โ€œIโ€™m looking for a high-end entry piece for a hotel.โ€
  • โ€œI need a cute teddy illustration for my granddaughter.โ€
  • โ€œI want a landscape in soft colours for my living room.โ€
And you โ€” our artists, creators, makers and all-round legends โ€” can respond if itโ€™s something youโ€™d like to take on.
We already have such a great mix here:โœ” a cartoonistโœ” a 3D rendererโœ” a landscape artistโœ” abstract paintersโœ” character designersโœ” hobbyists rediscovering their spark
Some of you might never want to sell a single artwork โ€” and thatโ€™s totally fine. Some of you might love the idea of creating something special for someone. Some of you might turn this into a little side income or even a full-on creative path.
Whatever success looks like for you, I want to help you get there.
๐Ÿ’› Keeping This Free (How You Can Help)
Now โ€” real talk โ€” it does cost me a bit to run this community and keep it open for everyone.
I want to keep HEFF Creative free forever if I can. I want people to learn from me and from each other without worrying about fees or barriers.
So if this commission idea takes off, all Iโ€™d set up is:
โ˜• A completely optional tip jar.
Not mandatory. Not expected. Not judged. Just there if you want to throw in a couple of bucks to support the space.
Honestly โ€” if it ever comes down to tipping me or buying yourself a coffee, buy the coffee. Your presence here is already huge.
But if HEFF Creative helps you land a commission or grow your confidence, and you want to contribute, youโ€™ll be able to โ€” simple as that.
๐Ÿš€ Why Iโ€™m Excited
Because I can already see it:
  • artists coming together
  • skill-sharing
  • people getting real paid jobs
  • beginners discovering their talent
  • returning artists finding their groove again
  • kindness, support, encouragement
  • a creative community built on generosity, not ego
I want this to be something special. For you. For whoever finds us. For the next generation of artists who never thought they had it in them.
๐Ÿ’ฌ What Do You Think?
This is just an idea Iโ€™m floating โ€” itโ€™s your community as much as mine.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Drop your thoughts below.๐Ÿ‘‰ Would you use something like this?๐Ÿ‘‰ What would make it work even better?
Keen to hear your ideas, legends.
