I would much rather see an artwork site that is not Christian themed, 
but is run by Christians who will (a) commit themselves to 
promoting/producing artwork done with excellence; and (b) run the site 
according to a moral standard that simply won't abide by the injustices 
that you report have occurred on KDE-look.

Not to disparage anyone else's Christian-specific FOSS endeavors, but I 
don't think the world needs more Christian merchandising.  They need 
more organizations, projects, etc. that will do the job right.

If you (or anyone) can do what KDE-look does, only better, then by all 
means go for it.
