About < error messages > 404

Transform your site's 404 page into art from the < error messages > collection by m0dest.

Each 404 page serves as a space for human connection and reflection, encouraging a new way to experience the internet.

Features:
* Fetches and displays a random piece of artwork from the < error messages > collection on each 404 page load.
* Customizable texts for the 404 message, including the main heading, introductory message, and button texts.
* Provides users with options to go back, view the homepage, or see the full artwork collection on OpenSea.
