Authylem

This project is believed to be defunct. (September 2021)

About

Authylem was founded with the idea of showcasing the honest truth in mind. We so often see people talking about truthful art as being raw, and while we definitely want to see your raw art, we also want to make a home for the polished and still truthful art, as well as anything in between. The word "authylem" is a combination of the words "authentic" and "ylem" because not only do we believe in a sense of authenticity, but we also believe that to get to the truth you need to look at the core; at the beginning.
