The Sticky Quarter and the Ghost of the Future: George R.R. Martin on the World of Howard Waldrop

“George R.R. Martin is stepping away from the Iron Throne to champion the ‘weird-ass’ imagination of his late friend, Howard Waldrop.

Through a series of short films, including the dodo-bird mystery The Ugly Chickens, the indigenous post-apocalyptic Mary Margaret Road-Grader, and the Martian-invasion western Night of the Cooters, Martin is translating Waldrop’s idiosyncratic prose into a visual language that refuses to compromise.”

Keeping Visual Storytelling Alive: The Importance of the Concept Artist — Part 1

“So what exactly do you do?”

Concept Art is often difficult to explain, yet it sits at the very foundation of visual storytelling. It is the first visual translation of an idea, shaping worlds, characters, and tone long before a final product exists.

Often unseen and under-acknowledged, Concept Artists quietly define the visual language of film, animation, and games. This article explores why Concept Art matters and why it remains essential to the stories we love.

What Stash Gave Us

Before feeds, platforms, and shared language, there was Stash. Long before Motion Design had a name, Stash offered access, visibility, and proof that this work existed, mattered, and was worth preserving.

A Season of Seeing: Cindy Sherman, Transanta, and the Quiet Power of Kindness

In a season shaped by generosity and reflection, we turn our attention beyond our own community. This is the story of a friendship, an artist’s quiet gesture, and a collective act of care supporting trans youth through Transanta.

Cindy Sherman’s Holiday Cards become more than art, they become a bridge of kindness at a moment when it’s needed most.

Fletcher Moules: A Life Built Frame by Frame

From a seven year old mesmerized by puppeteers inside Jabba the Hutt, to the director redefining animated storytelling across film, television, and music, Fletcher Moules has spent a lifetime building worlds frame by frame. This is the story of an artist who never stopped being a student, never stopped experimenting, and never stopped following the quiet spark that began it all.

A portrait of curiosity, rhythm, and emotional truth, told across decades of design, directing, worldbuilding, and wonder.
