A directory built for the work, not the feed.

Pixelsmith Studios started as a shared bookmark file: illustrators worth hiring, studios worth watching, and articles worth re-reading. It grew into this, a small, deliberate directory where creatives and studios keep their own page and control their own images.

There is no ranking algorithm and no engagement loop. You claim a handle, write a short headline, upload the frames you're proud of, and mark yourself available when you have capacity. Studios do the same, from the other side of the brief.

The journal is where we write about the craft around the craft: how portfolios get read, how briefs go wrong, how critique actually helps. Articles are edited in-house.
