Desktop-ArtsWho am I and why am I qualified to start a MK website? I've been in the hobby for pushing a decade now, having been both an avid trader on r/mm and frequent contributor to QMK. I was also involved at TKC in a number of different roles until I was laid off this March. I wasn't ready to leave the hobby, so in conjunction with another now former employee we started setting up shop. It's been an adventure getting things ready for even this point but I definitely wanted to take the time to apply everything I had learned, keep things lean, and bring to life my vision for the best way bring this art to market. Desktop-Arts was designed from the ground up to place a greater emphasis on the artist, their story, and their creativity than most other contemporary sites do. Each artist will have as much control over the design of their artist corner as possible until their collection goes live - utilizing WordPress and WooCommerce allows us to give artists and designers write access to their own page.
There's an invitation on the site, but I'm putting one here as well: we'd love to have you and your designs. DM me here or send us an email through the Contact Us on the website if you're interested in hearing more.
