The internet was such a fun place back then, one you looked forward to
visiting occasionally, rather than an all-consuming presence in our
lives.
The rise and fall of the old internet, a love letter to Geocities, a goldfish rebellion on Hypnospace Outlaw, and the importance of doorways.

Sketching is the art of producing quick and expressive drawings or paintings representing the chief features of an object or scene.
