THE TOOLS BEHIND THE MADNESS
Built by Artists. Trusted by the Mad Mafia.

Mad Pastel Palette
At Mad Art Materials, we don’t design from a boardroom, we design from the easel. Every pencil, stick, and stump has been tested, broken, and reworked until it feels right in your hands.
Why? Because Mad Charcoal was tired of the same old products, created by people in suits. We wanted more, for creators, dreamers and artists alike.
This isn’t about selling supplies, although we do like that, it’s about building tools that make you want to create again.
These are the hands we build for.
These are the stories that drive the madness.
The Mad Essentials Charcoal Art Kit
Our community, the Mad Mafia, has been the heartbeat behind every product we make. Artists like Otto, who turned raw emotion into portraiture with the Mad Woodless Charcoal Pencil. And Ginger, who said, “I found a freedom in charcoal that offers no anxiety, I look forward to making something every day.” Join the Mad Mafia Today!
This is just the beginning.
More tools, more inspiration. Real artists, real materials (and a whole lot of charcoal dust.)
Stay Mad. Create More.
