In 1998, Mike's Sketchpad (www.sketchpad.net) was formed as a free graphics tutorials site. It has grown to over 600 pages of free help and tutorials where one can learn about graphic arts. It has won various awards from Desktop Publishing and About.com. Studio 1 Design and Hosting (originally named Amazing Web Hosting) was formed shortly thereafter, where we constantly strive to deliver our clients the highest quality service.
