Title: KeypressGraphics.com, keycap art for mech keyboards.
Post by: KeypressGraphics on Tue, 19 January 2016, 06:47:14: (https://i.imgur.com/X9DSlgV.jpg)

G'day keycap enthusiasts! :)

Just wanted to let you know about the website used to display and sell my keycap art, www.keypressgraphics.com (http://keypressgraphics.com/)

The store features hand-casted & 3D-printed keycaps from a range of makers, sold by fixed price and auction. I generally add a new batch of keycaps every few weeks, and accept commissions if you'd like one of your keycaps painted. You can subscribe to the mailing list at the bottom of the site to receive an email notice whenever new keycaps are added to the store.

Thanks for reading and taking an interest in my work, and I'm looking forward to hearing your impressions. :thumb:

I would hope that they have a clear coat or something to prevent that.

Check out his FAQ. He uses multiple clear coats to protect them.

If it's the same guy, then the caps definitely have a coat on them. Got one of his caps and it's marvelous.

I don't see why not romevi, there should be enough room on the top face of a keycap if I cropped her face tightly.

Tasker has a bunch of really nice designs at his store and slowly but surely I'm getting around to painting most of them. I'd also love to paint more hand-craft resin keycaps in future but as you probably know they can sometimes be pretty hard to acquire and I don't have much appetite for lotteries, draws and the like. Shapeways is great because you just pick the design you want and there's a never a question over availability.

Post by: KeypressGraphics on Thu, 25 February 2016, 00:28:02: Prices have now been discounted across the board. :)

Also guys please be aware I offer flat rate shipping, so the shipping fee to the USA will be the same for 1 keycap, 2, 5 or even 10.

I appreciate your comment drpatrickbateman. Webhosting really isn't my area and Siteground seemed like a popular choice when I chose them, are they no good for some reason?

Post by: drpatrickbateman on Sat, 12 March 2016, 08:47:03: I used siteground back in college and it was nice then because I could use it free as a student, but there are a lot of hosts out there that are much more customer oriented, I think very little of their support at siteground. Maybe they have improved since I used them, I see now that they are much more highly rated than before but at the time I used them (3 or so years ago) they were kind of hated by everyone that I knew. My go to has always been bluehost, but another really good one is asmallorange. Both have been reliable and stable and have been very good with support when I've needed it.

Cheers for letting me know your views drpatrickbateman, much appreciated. :)

Siteground has been a bit slower than I would've liked which has made me toy with the idea of one day moving to a faster host. Its funny that you mention support though because that's one area where I haven't been able to fault them. I've put in somewhere close to 10 tickets since building my site and every one has been answered within the space of 10 minutes, often closer to 2 or 3. Genuinely helpful answers too, not rushed canned responses.

I didn't shop around much before choosing them (mostly on the basis of popularity) so it could well be there are better alternatives out there I'm not aware of. I'm glad to hear you've been impressed with Bluehost & Asmallorange, I will give them a look if I decide to make a switch.

Yeah after doing more research it seems their customer support has taken a massive 180 from when I used them. I'm glad to hear it, I did not have good experiences with them at the time.

Waateva, I'll reproduce here what I wrote in my most recent r/mk post since its relevant to this discussion.

Jose has been a great supporter of my work. I respect the anonymity of my customers, but if he chooses to come forward and talk about his purchases or his keycap collection of course he's welcome to do so.

I've been running auctions for several reasons. They generate interest and give people a reason to visit my site, they help with the dilemma of knowing what to set prices at -particularly with handmade artisans as I don't collect them and have little idea what the going rate is- and auctions also allow me to justify pouring more hours into a single keycap.

Auctions aren't perfect. As an artist I'd like to see my work reach as many hands as possible, but when I'm devoting so many hours to each keycap it can be frustrating to sell them for very little. Its very true that auctions may end up rewarding the richest buyers, yet fixed-priced sales can reward whoever clicks the Buy button fastest or happens to be online at a particular time.

I don't think either solution is perfect and in future plan on adopting a mix of fixed-prices, auctions, and lotteries which I don't yet have the tech to implement. That said feedback on the way things are being handled is always most welcome and I'll give it careful consideration.

Oh, I don't think we have any quibbles with the way you're running things. I think what you're doing is perfect for these one-offs.

They generate interest and give people a reason to visit my site, they help with the dilemma of knowing what to set prices at -particularly with handmade artisans as I don't collect them and have little idea what the going rate is- and auctions also allow me to justify pouring more hours into a single keycap.

Auctions aren't perfect. As an artist I'd like to see my work reach as many hands as possible, but when I'm devoting so many hours to each keycap it can be frustrating to sell them for very little. Its very true that auctions may end up rewarding the richest buyers, yet fixed-priced sales can reward whoever clicks the Buy button fastest or happens to be online at a particular time.

I don't think either solution is perfect and in future plan on adopting a mix of fixed-prices, auctions, and lotteries which I don't yet have the tech to implement. That said feedback on the way things are being handled is always most welcome and I'll give it careful consideration.

Oh, I don't think we have any quibbles with the way you're running things. I think what you're doing is perfect for these one-offs.
I think we're just shocked that all three of the last ones were bought buy one dude. The total is a kustom and then some!

+1

I love seeing these unique caps come up and it's pretty cool that Jose is supporting your work like this while collecting some really kickass caps :)

Do you know how much it'll be for a raffle? So far these have sold in the couple of hundred. Lottery is the best way, I think.

Plus, raffle and lottery are the same thing; but you just pay for the tickets in the end if you win.

I think people's main gripe is paying for something but not winning anything. It's one thing to enter a raffle for free, and a completely different animal to pay and get nothing.

IIRC, Binge did something like this except you were buying stickers for more "tickets". Same concept, but you got some kick ass stickers out of it instead of watching your money go into the void if you didn't win.

Post by: KeypressGraphics on Wed, 27 April 2016, 19:47:08: beehatch & xiro7- Thanks guys, I'm glad you like the changes! I'm still very much tweaking things and trying my best to keep everyone happy, unfortunately no system will be perfect as there will always be an overwhelming number of people who miss out due to the time it takes me to paint each keycap and my limited supply of them. Churning them out faster would mean taking shortcuts & sacrificing quality, which is not the way I like to work.

whaateva & romevi - best of luck guys!

audax989 - This particular lottery will end at 00:00 regardless of the number of tickets sold. If there is a ticket limit it will be visible on the lottery page.

Binge - Thank you so much for that incredible vote of confidence and for supplying me with your awesome keycaps! Each Bingecap has so much character that the color schemes pretty much suggest themselves to me. Like all of us I can't wait to see which new designs you come out with next. :)

Literally cannot believe I won this. On the first day of the auction I saw that other similar caps were going for $300 and I went 'Guess I'll just go in for $100'. Spent the last day convinced someone was going to snipe the auction at the last second. After I won I spent a few seconds convinced someone had and the page didn't refresh properly on my end. Super psyched to dress my keyboard up in hands-down the most beautiful keybuto I've ever seen!

Post by: clappingcactus on Thu, 02 June 2016, 20:18:59: So my key got here. You asked me for my opinions: It's stunningly painted. I'm a freelance graphics designer and I like that you clearly ascribe to the aesthetic of 'put in more detail than will ever be noticed' in the pursuit of perfection. The shading, the glossing, the switching from discrete shades of blue on the eye shield to give the image of plated armor to gradient blues on the neck line to give the impression of wear - it's all meticulously put together. I'm definitely ordering some customs from you soon. Do you require the base keycap to be white, or are there any other limitations?

(http://i.imgur.com/6A0Psw7.jpg)

I'm staying out of your current auction so that as many people as possible enjoy your creations. Your craft is wonderful. :)
Title: Re: KeypressGraphics.com, keycap art for mech keyboards.
Post by: KeypressGraphics on Fri, 03 June 2016, 00:49:20: That's awesome to hear you like it clappingcactus! :)

I've been interested in graphic design for many years now myself so it means a lot to me that you like what I've done with it. Its true that the detail the brush infuses into these keycaps isn't always visible when they're photographed (though I'm trying to improve my photo setup to capture more of it) but that priceless "Wow!" first impression to the naked eye is what I really strive for.
Speaking of glossiness, I use both gloss & matt varnish these days and the final amount of gloss left on the model mostly comes down to personal preference; I like to keep a little on there as I find that shiny look alluring, but some people may prefer no gloss at all or ultra-reflective gloss overload.

By all means I can paint keycaps in pretty much any color or material, it doesn't affect the painting process much if at all. Metal, plastic, resin, 3D-printed or hand casted are all fine. I only avoid painting 3D-printed nylon caps because the surface is so rough and if you sand them down they lose most of their detail.

Thanks again for your kind comments and I hope your Keybuto keycap gives you tons of pleasure, it turned out different but in some ways better than I expected. :)

Thank you JMD! I try to coax as much beauty as my skills allow out of these wonderful little sculptures, and hopefully flesh out the original intention of the sculptor while putting my own little spin on things. :)

Nick,

It may be hard for me to put my personal bias aside with this one, but I don't think anyone would dispute that the "Empire" Keybuto is on a completely new and higher level. Your work routinely outdoes itself, but never have I seen such concentrated, handcrafted precision, storytelling, and symbolism in such a tiny space.

I can easily picture the lucky owner of this keycap proudly showcasing it as a unique history lesson and one-of-a-kind conversation piece. It tackles a controversial subject by showcasing the power and pride of Imperial Japan while simultaneously, and crucially, acknowledging its sinister side, the historicity of its mistakes, and the miracle of its remediation. The artist's passion for the engaging subject and its unique canvas instills awe down to the microscopic level and commands respect and admiration.

Astounding work!

Bambino

Post by: KeypressGraphics on Mon, 11 September 2017, 00:21:30: Many thanks for your kind words Bambino, they mean a lot to me. :)

This is a project I've wanted to tackle for at least six months but kept putting off out of sheer doubt I'd be able to execute it off to a reasonable standard. It did prove to be hugely challenging, but rewarding in the way only keycaps that've taken me outside my comfort zone have been. Your original Keybuto is still one my favorite artisans and this was my attempt to get the absolute most out of it while attempting to create something fresh and full of meaning.

Regarding the subject matter, my take on it is that the War represents a tragic period in Japan's history (and indeed the world's) when millions were made to suffer for questionable values, but it also provides us with a valuable reminder of the dangers of totalitarianism and those who follow ideologies blindly. I think its critically important to remember the mistakes of the past lest we repeat them, a point more poignant with what's been happening in Korea recently. For the record I am a pacifist and believe nothing good ever comes of war.

Nick

Post by: clappingcactus on Mon, 11 September 2017, 07:43:00: That cap is immediately the clearest example of art in the keyboard community.

That said, the imperial flag choice maybe dilutes your message. I'd err on the side of arguing that nostalgic representations of horrors are different from acknowledgements of their significance (e.g. you could have chosen faded colours or inverted the colours in a macabre representation or used the pattern but not the tones etc.). Yes, juxtaposition with the bloodied face is a clear enough intent, but the overall tone I get from the cap is 'resilience' not 'damage'. And when that is juxtaposed with the imperial flag, you may get some backlash.

This isn't me saying I don't like the cap. In fact, I'm going to try and get it. Art isn't really about trying to avoid being uncomfortable.

Post by: KeypressGraphics on Mon, 11 September 2017, 09:18:58: Many thanks clappingcactus. :)

It was certainly not my intention to offend anyone with the subject matter but I did set out to create a piece of art I hoped would have a powerful visual and psychological impact. Ultimately everyone's free to judge the final result as they see fit, although my intention was largely to portray the tragedy and cost of Japan's journey down a dark path which holds a valuable lesson for the present.
