YOU MADE THIS LAUNCH WILD

The introduction of the Mad Essentials Charcoal Art Kit

The MAD Essentials Charcoal Art Kit is finally out in the world, and we just want to say, THANK YOU!
Every message of support, every order, every bit of hype turned a year-long idea into a the real thing

This kit was the first step, perhaps even the foundation. The beginning of a bigger vision for tools, courses, and community built by and for artists who don’t fit the mold.

So if you grabbed a kit, welcome to the start of something new!
And if you’re just watching from the sidelines - don’t blink. What’s coming next is bolder, messier, and even more Mad.

We want to hear from you!

We want to keep building this community of artists and supporting the work you are creating. That’s why we would love to see and how you are using the kit and our products, whether it’s sketches, experiments, or full-on finished pieces. We’ll be featuring creators from the Mad community, so show us what you’ve got!

We want to see what you’re making with the kit, the mess, the magic, all of it. Tag @madartmaterials on our socials or hit us up directly at [email protected] and let us in on the chaos.

Stay soft, stay savage,
- The MAD Team
