It's a nice inspiration from his work :) I personally enjoy Piet's work alongside Ben Nicholson and Chuck Close for the similar Art they make.
Making this feasible in GMK isn't quite the best option in my view, since it consists of rgb accents. It isn't in a uniform profile like DSA, cost can go up if one's going to place the colours anywhere they want, you'd want a kit for each row in each colour. Unless you could talk with them for just R3 only keys. I get that Cherry profile has nicer sharp lines to match Piet's work but having these done isn't a good choice price wise, maybe. Perhaps in PBT by Keyreative or so?

ViraHonestly the usage of uniform profile will bring this set a step closer to the representation, maybe DSA or XDA. SP can do custom color with no additional cost while I don't know anything about XDA policy.
The reason why I still wanna push on GMK is to fill the (1) GMK for ortho—I'm quite bothered with legended alpha but blank mods so why don't go full blank (2) GMK blanks—like, never heard of it (3) and from the blank factor—alternate layout user like Colemak/Dvorak.
And for the price, actually I just got a quotation from GMK and added with shipping and tax $83 is what I get (the kit pictured after Mondrian painting here) for MOQ of 150.
But yeah I still gauge interest here and if there isn't much interest poppin', seems like I will contact SP and hope they take interest to run this as the keyset of the month (which I doubt since the simplicity of this set is ridiculous lol).
Thank you very much for your input!

First Full Custom KB Build
Everyone has to start somewhere, and I started here. I've done my share of pre-built KBs and as I'm sure many of us here have noticed none are perfect. The keycaps are good but the keys are flaccid. The keys are good but the backboard is iffy. Building a full board is something I look forward to typing on. A combination of lubed Panda keys and dual-injection MT3 caps provide a muted feedback that's like laying back in a broken-in leather couch. The only downside being it doesn't want for rapid typing. The key cap design requires more "lift" than a flatter key, and the keys while fluid seem...laggy. overall a solid 4/5 overall.

College themed keyboard
My wife wanted a keyboard that is themed after her college colors. It was exhausting/fun searching around for options. This hobby has expanded so much that the options are almost endless. I settled on the Daring Run DR-70f, Gateron EF Curry Linear Switches and DROP DCX Sapphire. She was very happy with the end result and most importantly, I got to build another keyboard. I love the layout of the Daring run and it was crazy affordable! Think I might take on the Flip 6 next.

HHKB layout keyboards that are Cherry MX hot-swappable
I see on Drop that the Tokyo 60 keyboard is rarely available. There is something in kit-packaging but not in black as I would love it. I love the HHKB layout to the point that I am configuring my ALT keyboard and my Hexgear Gemini as close as possible to it. But I struggle with keycaps due to the "backspace" and "|" swaps that the keycap sets on drop do not support. Why is Tokyo60 so rare on drop? What are the alternatives to it?

Why I Love Prototype Runs and Helping Keyboard Designers
The Migra TKL Prototype by Thebloodyez “This is my keyboard. There are many like it, but this one is mine.” - William H. Rupertus. In another life, if Major General William H. Rupertus, the Marine who coined the United States Marine Creed, had been a keyboard enthusiast, we might've gotten this line instead. All joking aside, this has been an article that I’ve wanted to write for quite some time. There are many reasons why we love the keyboard hobby, and today, I wanted to introduce you to one of mine—prototype keyboards and helping keyboard designers by joining prototype runs. Now, it’s not risk-free, and one should weigh the pros and cons of joining a prototype run, so I encourage you to pay attention to the disclaimer portion of this article. I know that there are prototype runs for keycaps, switches, and other cool things in our keyboard hobby, but for this article, I’ll be focusing only on keyboards. Also, please know that not every prototype run will be handled...

Can i someone support me in fixing my Drop Alt keyboard?
I havent used this keyboard in months. When I plug it in, it turns on and turns off. You would assume there is a short in the cord but I know there's not because I can use the cord with a different keyboard. So do you think its a firmware issue or a short inside the keyboard? Either way I want to fix it. Any suggestions or tips & tricks?

Solid ABS Keycaps
DCX quality is pretty good. Similar sound signature and a smoother texture to GMK. Not a dig at either, just a difference. Ignore the missing keycap, it's a switch issue.

Two weeks without parcel update after it shipped?
Hello, I'm not sure where to ask for this so I'll try here. I ordered a Rohan Keyboard+Mousepad 2 weeks ago, on the 12th of Dec. I received an e-mail saying it was shipped on the 15th so, pretty fast. But ever since then, no news. The last update on the DHL tracking website says "PROCESSING COMPLETED AT ORIGIN" on the 18th, which was more than a week ago - Google tells me that it means "parcel left the country of origin" (i'm ordering from France). I've tried asking customer support if they could track it down or give me at least a broad estimate of when I ought to expect it, but no answer so far. I understand shipping might take some time with the holidays and all, but if it was shipped around two weeks ago, shouldn't it have arrived by now? And whats up with no parcel updates for ten days? Sorry if I asked in the wrong place, with no customer support answer I'm kinda getting worried.

Previous updates:
A node to one of my favourite artist of all time, Piet Mondrian, which accidentally share similar aesthetic with ortholinear keyboard. So here I am, wanting to make a blank GMK set with some accents which can be used as a visual guide for a more critical keys—or just for sweets. The simplicity yet bold visual is what will make them unique on each people keymap and aesthetical preferences.
The profile will be standard 1-2-3-4-4 while the colors will be:
Extra good news is GMK willing to make all-new 2u and 1u convex mold for the spacebar (or button)!
Don't hesitate to share your opinion ;)
*I'm trying to get a proper 3D mockup so please bear with the KLEs for now :(
