THE NEW INKER

Welcome Nicky Whitfield Welcome Nicky Whitfield

Welcome to The New Inker!

There are 8 billion people on the planet. It’s easy to see why most people don’t think their story matters.

Problem is, they’re wrong. So wrong.

Everybody has a story worth telling.

And with a pencil, persistence, and the power of the ripple effect anyone can change the world.

Who am I and why does this blog exist?

Hello! I’m Nicky—Creator, Educator, Storyteller, and the founder of Neekonline.

I started The New Inker to help myself get out of my own way. To document my journey. To follow my curiosity, create with intention, and inspire remarkable change—dot by dot, line by line, story by story.

This blog is where I show my work, learn in public, and share my story. But it’s not just about me—it’s also about YOU.

My fellow makers, creators, and freedom-seekers, I’m here to help you get unstuck, find your own way to self-mastery, and design a life you don’t want to escape from.

What will you find here?

I guess you could call me a curator who creates—someone who explores ideas, captures experiences, and reflects on them in order to create something both impactful and meaningful.

We will look at:

  • Intentional Documentation

  • Creativity & Design

  • Writing & Storytelling

  • Self-Mastery & Mindset

  • Travel & Exploration

  • Education & Learning

  • Entrepreneurship for Creators

Who is this blog for?

The New Inker is for anyone who wants to make a difference doing what they love, to inspire remarkable change, and leave an indelible mark on the world.

So, let’s get started building a community of Neekeorologists!

📖 Neekeorologist (n.)

nee-kee-or-ol-uh-jist

  1. A mindful creator who loves to travel and wants to leave an indelible mark on the world.

  2. One who explores, captures, and creates.

  3. Someone who follows their curiosity, documents their journey, and shares their story with the intention of inspiring others to do the same.

This includes:

  • Slow travelers, digital nomads, explorers

  • Journalers, writers, and storytellers

  • Makers, artists, and creators

A modern-day traveler’s notebook…

“To develop a complete mind: Study the science of art; Study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realise that everything connects to everything else.”
— Leonardo Da Vinci

The New Inker isn’t just a blog—it’s a modern-day traveler’s notebook, dedicated to the joy of discovery and exploration. It bridges the gap between art and science, blending the slow, deliberate, and intentional nature of analog journaling practices with the convenience of digital tools that allow you to capture life experiences as they happen and on-the-go.

What next?

It's the tiniest of moments that lead to the grandest of adventures. I want The New Inker to be more than just a blog.

So let’s build a community and start a movement built on the philosophy of Explore. Capture. Create.
