Honestly, one of my favourites so far. I wanted to write something that sits in the feeling of being washed away. Because we feel like that sometimes.
Enjoy.

Each day he rises.
Asks me, "Is it still launch day?"
"Yes," I lie. "Always."

I love to look at a new ad and it triggers a whole new world of ads.
Did I look at it for just the right amount of time? Did I get distracted from my scroll and leave it on my screen for just a touch too long? No idea, but here I am seeing power tools and retirement homes.

Alone
Retro games consoles filtered through digital delays and drum machines. Layered with guitars and some distortion. Alone paints a post-something slice of hazy danceable sounds pulled from late night memories of virtual adventures.

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.
Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.
