Studio Areas
Graphic Design Desk

As a community that offers full service graphic design, let us worry about copywriting, social media, event materials, artwork and a recommended schedule for posting, until you are ready to take over and/or automate those services to suit your needs.
Custom Tattoo
Amanda here, I am a tattoo artist at Chigau Ink in Bentonville.
Check out this page to see my current work and some of my in progress videos and sketches. I am very much a detail artist and love to work on pieces loaded with symbolism and art concepts. After being a designer for 15 years I am also adapt with type and applications of lettering.
Gaming Center
Lead Dev, Hunter, here. My long journeys into game dev have taught me much and I wish to share that knowledge any way I can. I specialize in world crafting, writing, combat system structure/simplicity, sound design & creation, UIX, typical 3d modelling software, and Unreal Engine blueprints. Some of these fields have a higher learning curve than others and are approached for a variety of needs.
After every milestone there is joy, but always more to do. Allow me to provide an outside perspective on any aspects of game development you might be lacking in or are unsure of. As my time is spent on our ventures, I won’t be able to help long term in most cases.
Ceramics Cave
Wheel-thrown Mid-Fire Pottery
In a desire to streamline cleaning, shelf-space, and wholly avoiding the fear of breaking, most have forgotten that our homes can have organic lines, curves, and decorations that hold weight just by looking at them.
We want to explore forgotten vessels and their use while modernizing. As water, fire, and wind take more and more from humanity, the elements give back within pottery.
Ceramics can be reused for so long, is easily restored, and if all else fails, can be ground into grog for new clay, ready again for the makers hands. Yet plastic simply rots or melts, a pollutant on the air or valuable minerals that could have developed in the Earth’s crust.
Traditional Mediums
Custom Tattoo Design, Drawing, Painting
Inspiration comes in unexpected forms that are difficult to explain. We strive to push past our understanding and construct designs that portray your mental image properly. The process of making an original piece of art is something we revel in.
A two inch tattoo can not only fill in the key gaps to existing ink, but add story to the journey the eyes take across your canvas.
Writing
Poetry, Prose, Editing, and Scripts
When we talk about writing, the first factor is always conveying an emotion, even if it’s not the one you intend. A type of fatal interruption that may lead somewhere grand and unknown. Next comes the joy, the creative stimulation, we harness and spread through our words. Time has shown that even concrete definitions crumble under culture and context.
Whether you want us to lay the foundation or help theory craft your own work, or fully compose a piece for your use, we can create something in your vision, boundaries or not.
Music
Specializing in atmospheric or situational orchestral music, we love to compose music for any of your artistic situations. Trailers to showcase products, videogame soundtracks, we can explore your musical needs. A small, looping melody, or something that changes emotion at certain times, we will work with you and even collaborate with other styles.
Needleworks Nook
Embroidery, Pattern Making, Digitization
At the intersection of design and printing, textiles sit neatly in our studio areas.
With embroidery, we convert your design or illustration to vectors. Then, by simulating the fibers through stitch programming and using our own tests, we can give clear advice on possible stitching styles or lengths/space changes throughout the design. We also offer custom creations of embroidery meant to be pressed into clay for a subtle but intricate impressions.
Sewing patterns for pillows or plushies of your design can also be made with clear directions and documentation for stitch length/style advice.
Choose artists - not templates.
