Big Yellow Man (BYM), that has unfortunately passed away in      the end of last year.  ۰ ۲   ۱  BYM was one of those persons you were always happy to meet ۰ and during his ANSi scene career he captivated everyone of us,    not only with his unmatching artistic style but with his kindness     and charisma. Those are the memories we want to keep and     this is how we will always remember him. ۱   ۱ I've particulary learned a lot from him, mainly due to his ability  ۱  ۲  to find inspiration in simple things or every day moments in life  ۰   and turn it into amazing pieces of digital artwork. A walk in the  ۰   park, an urban landscape or a holiday with family and friends,    everything became ANSi poetry through his hands. ۲  Every artwork was a window to his own life he shared with  ݱ  us viewers. I'm very thankful I had the chance to say this   ۰ to him and to express all my long time admiration for his artwork.         We're lucky he left us an updated online gallery with all his     artworks on http://bym.deviantart.com methodicaly where you    can easily spend hours browsing and exploring all phases of    his ANSi style, from his very first ANSis in Poffelipoff, his     native swedish scene group, including memorable joints with    ANSi superstar dieznyk and recent artworks released in   Blocktronics, featuring what he called a "Neo Pop" ANSi style.  ۲  ۲    There's also a very special video, actually a screen capture ۱    video of him drawing one of his ANSis featuring a soundtrack     also created by himself. Really worth seeing a real genius  ۲  at work: http://vimeo.com/3408044   ۱   ܲ۰ That's his legacy and we are here to celebrate Fredrik's Art & Life, ۱    as colorful, passionate and vivid as one of his ANSis.    Thank you, BYM! You will always be remembered!     ۱ Rest in peace, my friend.       ۲   ۱    - Luciano Ayres aka enzO ܲ            ۲      Hello all! it's officially year of the block!, back with the first     new release of the year!, You know i must admit that i'm slightly    annoyed that so far 2015 isn't how i expected it to be.  ۰   The idea of flying cars, PERFECT weather predictions,     SELF dog walkers, hoverboards and self lacing nike shoes was    so appealing, it gave hope for many to keep on grinding to make۱۲  it to 2015.. and now that we are here we are left with the real ۱  version of 2015.. a year where everyone looks down at their۱ ۰ phone, complains about neck pain, poor wifi signals and everyone    generally is pissed off at everyone for no apparent reason!..۲     MAKE THAT SPIELBERG..      But, had you tell me in 2015 that there was still a bunch of guys    collectively worldwide drawing textmode art?,   TOURETTES EMAGS???, i'd have punched you right in the face!..۲   TWICE!..  ۱   Now onto something serious, Fredrik olsson, the man..
