Mosshollow by Hodge Podge Art Studio

A world built one sculpture at a time

The roads are old.
The carts never stop moving.

Across Mosshollow, giant snails carry traveling merchants between woodland settlements. Every route leaves a record. Every village adds a story.

A note from the historian

Mosshollow is not the whole world.

It is one old region within it: forest roads, river crossings, working settlements, and places the sensible know not to enter alone.

The animals here build, trade, keep records, and remember. This archive follows their routes through sculpture, field notes, and the stories gathered along the way.

Samuel

Hundreds of years ahead of him and never in a hurry. Samuel chose his cart at bonding and has since learned that slowing down is an effective negotiating tactic when snacks are late.

Docket

Decides what every cart carries and notices every missing crate. His lists have lists. His only known vice is lollipops—lavender, preferably, because he insists they help him remain calm.

Ricket

If Docket knows exactly where something ought to be, Ricket is probably already inside the wrong crate looking for it. Enthusiasm has never been the problem.

The archive expands as new inhabitants are sculpted and documented.

Mark of the Brotherhood

Raccoons · Rats · Ravens

The Brotherhood keeps Mosshollow moving.

Rats manage the depots. Raccoons travel the roads. Ravens carry the warnings, news, and changing conditions that cannot wait for the carts to arrive.
