Studio
I’m Taylor Caldwell. MortalArt is my production and design studio in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I work in English and Spanish.
The studio is new. Everything shown on this site is its own work, made in 2026. There is no client work here yet.
Who does what
I lead every project myself: the idea, the direction, the choices along the way and the final check before anything leaves the studio.
No other person has worked on the projects shown here so far. When a job needs a specialist, I’ll say so before it starts and credit them by name on the project page.
How I choose
- RestraintOne idea, given room. A plain ground and one accent.
- RealismOrdinary places at odd moments. Objects obey gravity.
- One eyeEvery shot in a film looks like it belongs to the same night.
- Plain dealingNo invented numbers, clients or praise.
How a project runs
First conversation
You tell me what you are trying to make, who it is for and when you need it. I ask questions, and I tell you if it is not a job for me.
One idea on a page
Before production starts you will get the idea in writing: the direction, what will be delivered, the schedule and the price. Nothing gets made until you agree to it.
A first look
You will see the work early, as a first frame, a first screen or a first sketch of the logo, while it is still cheap to change.
Delivery
You will receive finished files in the formats you need, and the source where it applies, with a note on how to use them.
Tell me what you’re making.
A product, an album, a place, a launch. Send a few lines about it and I’ll reply with how I would make it.
