About Us
Welcome to Hoodbutch Studios, the crucible where imagination meets reality.
Founded by Ian Damont Martin, Hoodbutch is a creative studio dedicated to storytelling through the lenses of Black and queer experiences.

Our mission is to practice creative alchemy, transforming raw visions into cultural touchstones that captivate and inspire. Join us on this journey of identity, imagination, and innovation.
What is creative alchemy?
The art of infusing imagination, storytelling, and design, resulting in immersive and captivating cultural experiences. Just as alchemy seeks to transmute base metals into gold, creative alchemy transmutes raw ideas into transformative moments, bridging the realms of art and culture to create something extraordinary. It is the process of crafting narratives, designs, and experiences that resonate deeply, inspire awe, and provoke thought, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of audiences worldwide. Through creative alchemy, Hoodbutch Studios celebrates the fusion of creativity and culture, building moments that transcend.

He showed the world that the underrepresented, the underdogs and Black people, in particular, have brilliant minds and can push and compete equally in the establishment. He inspired hope and brought about change.” - Ibrahim Kamara, Art&Image Director Off-White™
