Meet Maddie Adams-Terry

WHO THE HELL AM I?! (with Coleman Charters)

Ever look at your art and think, meh… this doesn’t really feel like me? Yeah, same. That’s why we roped in "Weird West" artist Coleman Charters (@whythoart) for a no-BS chat about style, voice, and what makes people go, “oh yep, that’s their work.” Coleman chats to how his vibe came together, what it’s like building a recognizable look, and how it mirrors his worldview. We left fired up—and hope you walk away a lil' something to tip yer hat to.

Art As Refuge

In this episode we get real about art as a safe place, the kind you run to when life feels a little too big. Maddie and Holden share personal stories about how art has helped us process emotions, work through tough moments, and make sense of the messy stuff. We talk about what it’s like to be vulnerable in our work, why sharing those raw moments can be so powerful, and how you can invite more creativity into your own life. This is a heart to heart about connection, healing, and the ways art helps us grow.

Meet Holden King

Ever wonder what it’d be like to design in the toy industry?! In this episode, we take a deeper plunge into Holden's creative background and the magic that makes him him. From his earliest brushes with the arts to the chat rooms that (somehow?) helped shape his path, Holden opens up about the formative experiences that led him here. We talk about: * His childhood intro to art (and yes, internet corners of yore) * The college experience that reshaped his sense of creativity * How specialized training unlocked a whole new kind of design thinking * And what keeps him creating today If this space brought you joy or insight—or if Holden made you laugh—leave us a happy little rating. It helps more creatives find us, and we love having you here.
