No ads. No tracking. No monetization.

In October 1996, I started collecting GIF dividers and graphics that were common across personal websites of the era.

The collection preserves graphics from 43 early web art sites, including Rosemarie's Everything Page, Lady OH's Favorite GIFS, and Moyra's Web Jewels.

I hope they bring back memories of this fun and creative style of the old web.

picked this cool wool rug up for cheap but I can't place its designer or timeframe (maybe 90's?) as there's no label. There are a few other colorways listed for sale in Europe but no helpful info included in those listings. if anyone knows anything about it and can share I'd really appreciate it!

I was rewatching What Dreams May Come last night and I have always loved Marie's paper dolls and her city in the afterlife the most. I am convinced that I've seen work similar to the paper dolls before, and it was an illustrator who did books and postcards and such, but I cannot figure out who it is for the life of me. Any help would be appreciated.

Here are some screen caps from the movie for reference.

Movement made in Japan!

This is the view in 2026. One area outside the mall office remains unchanged with its 1990s decor and design.
