Sirius came to
Artkey Universe



After months of conception and doggedly sculpting, Minh Hieu “Capupu” was finally content with his newest creation, he uttered “Sirius be thy name and as foretold in the stars, you shall shine brighter than any other!” (I made that line up :P)

Today, our Sirius has reached the age of 3,
3 years of woof and wuv from both the team of Artkey and the artisan keycap community. As such, we would like to give him a warm and heartfelt celebration, for being a best friend fur-ever.


Let’s have a look at Sirius’s life thus far!
I can promise it is not necessarily a dog’s one.
