CRFTD is a Digital Art and Ordinal studio based in Pasadena, California. Inspiration
Life is hard. Life is beautiful. Life is complicated. Our art is an outlet for us to process and make sense of life’s journey. The universal themes we explore as we create—love, loss, grief, courage, freedom, beating the odds—are very personal to us. Our hope for every collection is that each individual piece will resonate with your own life story while the larger body of work will combine to tell one fantastical tale.
Medium
Our photography first mindset directs our pieces. We build a list of needed imagery, then photograph as much as possible—people, places, things & textures. Next, we’ll render 2D and 3D elements to blend with the photography as needed. Last, we fill in the gaps with paint. In photoshop, everything is compiled, blended and finalized.
Collections
We specialize in micro collections and 1/1 pieces. Ordinal works will be offered on Gamma and Magic Eden.

who are we
Emily is a producer in the film and television industry with credits ranging from MTV to ABC to feature films. She is an eight on the ennegram and has a secret love for watching home shopping networks late at night. She is a realist yet her art sympathies lie in the realm of surrealism. Nate
Creative Director | Co-Owner
Nate is an award winning creative director and photographer. He's a seven on the ennegram, and in another life, would have become a mixologist and coffee roaster. His client list includes work for Sundance Institute, Time Warner, Sony and Ayzenburg, to name a few. He’s drawn to worlds with fantasy and sci-fi twists. Our Journey
We live and create in the tension. We are cancer survivors, divorce survivors, and foster parents. We strive for authenticity—authenticity that all of life has to offer—including the good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly and everything in between. We hope our work meets you wherever you are, offering recognition and levity for our fellow travelers.
