About Qes

You’ve stumbled upon Qesque’s corner in this vast world wide web. Sit for a spell and rest your weary soul.

This is a humble shop run by a crafty cat-bee called Qesque. She travels to many mysterious lands in search of wonderful entities and oddities from which she can extract the essence she kneads to craft her creations. May every item bring a little magic, and maybe a little healing, into your journey.

Qesque's humble beginnings in art shows and collaborative zines took place in 2015, selling little treasures purely for the joy of creation. Her online shop opened in 2016, turning a beloved hobby into a bustling second job. In 2017, Qes introduced her first enamel pin designs into her shop's inventory. Enchanted by these charming creations, she'd go on to make many more. By summer, a booth at Delta H Con opened a portal to the realm of conventions, and Qesque dared to dream of doing this full-time.

Along the way, Qesque caught the attention of the Guild Wars 2 team, becoming a Creative Partner and ultimately joining forces with the Guild Wars 2 Artist Collective. Here, she'd help craft epic collaborations spanning from tarot decks to artbooks, and limited-edition pins, all of which helped to raise over $67,000 for worthy causes. Inspired by these victories, Qesque co-founded Alchemy Art Group in 2019, helping ship tens of thousands of treasures to adventurers around the world (and even forging an alliance with the creators of The Dragon Prince!).

But as with any brave trailblazer, she was bound to encounter a monster, and in 2022, Qesque was struck by the curse of a chronic illness that made crafting much harder. After years of battle with Vestibular Migraine and Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MDDS), Qesque is back in 2025, ready to open her shop doors once again, bringing new wonders into the world and standing proudly alongside anyone fighting invisible battles of their own.
