Born from ash. Built for the ones who keep going.
ForgeEmber is a small, stubborn studio making mythic, cosmic, and alchemical artwork – for people who’ve walked through fire and still feel a spark left.
The brand lives in the space between loss and rebuilding, between “everything fell apart” and “I’m still here, so I may as well make something powerful out of it.”
Every collection is a love letter to that ember.
Postcards, prints, and small artefacts from another timeline.
The first wave of ForgeEmber focuses on A6 postcards and art prints – small-format artworks designed to be:
- Gifted with letters, books, parcels, or care packages
- Framed as little portals on walls, desks, and shelves
- Kept as quiet talismans in notebooks, journals, and boxes of “important things”
Over time, the plan is to build connected collections – series that speak to each other, forming a loose mythology across multiple drops. Think: seasonal runs, themed arcs, recurring symbols, and artwork that rewards the people who pay attention.
From burnt-out foundations to ember-lit pages.
ForgeEmber didn’t start in a boardroom. It started in the ruins – in the slow aftermath of things that didn’t work out, places that were lost, and versions of life that never arrived.
Somewhere in that mess, one small idea wouldn’t die: if the ember’s still there, maybe it’s worth building something around it.
The art is a reflection of that: cosmic, witchy, slightly sideways, threaded with humour and grief, and stubbornly hopeful in a way that doesn’t deny how dark it’s been.
That’s what ForgeEmber is for – the people who’ve seen enough to know that pretty pictures alone aren’t the point. The work has to mean something when it lands.
A single human, a stack of sketchbooks, and a lot of stubbornness.
ForgeEmber is run by a solo creator who has spent years juggling customer work, technical jobs, and real-life chaos – while quietly building a universe of art on the side.
There’s a long history of notebooks, half-finished ideas, and dreams “for when life calms down”. Spoiler: life never really calms down. So ForgeEmber is the decision to stop waiting and start shipping, even while everything else is still messy.
You won’t get corporate speak here. Just one person building something honest and a bit strange, in public, with whoever decides to walk alongside it.
The focus isn’t on a polished persona. It’s on the work, the people it connects with, and the tiny ecosystem that might grow around it.
From ember to artefact.
Fragments, symbols, and “what ifs”.
Ideas often start as scraps: a dream, a line in a song, a memory, a strange “what if” question. Symbols and motifs get sketched, noted, or built digitally until a theme clicks.
Layering story into the visuals.
Composition, colour, and texture are pushed until the piece feels like a scene from a universe that exists just off to the side of this one. Hidden details and micro-lore are baked in.
From screen to something you can hold.
Every design is tested against print specs, refined for A6 and beyond, and run through a quality check before it’s allowed to become a physical artefact.
More cards. More prints. More ways to carry the ember.
The first drop is only the start. The plan is to expand into:
- Themed postcard and print collections with shared lore and recurring symbols
- Seasonal or limited-run releases tied to certain dates, moods, or events
- Occasional small extras – things that pair well with the art and the story around it
The pace will be human, not hyper-scaled. ForgeEmber is designed to grow steadily, in ways that feel sustainable and true to the people behind it and the people who collect it.
