Susan Kare, an Apple designer behind iconic Macintosh graphics, has introduced her newest artistic project, Esc Keys.

This innovative series merges craftsmanship with digital art and debuted at Asprey Studio in London as part of the Frieze London art fair. The full collection will be available on the Asprey Studio website by the end of November.

The Esc Keys collection draws inspiration from the pixelated designs of her early Macintosh work. It features playful designs, such as an alien face, a tortoise, and a “panic!” button.

These designs are made from metal and etched into keyboard keys. It can also be used as pendants, decorative wall art, or functional components of mechanical keyboards. The collection comes with digital versions as well, offering non-fungible token (NFT) versions and Bitcoin BTC $91,433.20 Ordinals to accompany the physical items.

At the launch, Kare described how she transitioned from a passion for art to a career in technology. She said:

I was a typical art kid who liked to paint and all kinds of crafts, and never imagined I would want to work for a Fortune 500 manufacturing company.

With Esc Keys, Kare expands her artistic expression, combining nostalgia for early-tech aesthetics with the possibilities of blockchain-based art.
