Creative quests for artists & storytellers

MEET THE TEAM.

We've probably all been told at least once that creativity is a gift. But sometimes it's a gift you never get a chance to unwrap, because, well, life.

From folding that Prometheus-esque pile of never-ending laundry and cleaning up Augean-sized cat poop, through to  casually climbing the corporate ladder and somehow still remembering to return your mother’s call and file your taxes, modern life leaves little room for creative freedom and fulfilment.

We’re here to change that.

The Modern Myth is your space and place to do what you love. To unleash your imagination and create for the sake of creating. No stress. And no pressure.

(… Okay, there’s a deadline for every quest. So, there’s a little pressure. But it’s the good, diamond-forging, magic-making kind, we promise.)

Ever wondered if your 'creative gift' has a refund policy? Yeah, us too. 

Celebrating, challenging and cultivating your creativity one quest at a time ...
