When relaxing, like most people she wants to avoid work, but... still has a love of art. etsy.com/uk/shop/YavinPaints / @Bhaal_Spawn -- Mike "Blippypixel" Rose is a digital artist whose tastes veer toward the vintage in electronic music and visuals, dabbling in low-poly 3D modeling, LED pixelart, and teletext as well as work in the distinctive palette of the BBC Micro. instagram.com/blippypixel -- Periodically we encounter someone who is not only a specialist in a given medium, but who also focuses on a specific theme to the exclusion of all others. Chuppixel is the world's preeminent Tiny Towers-style pixelart movie cast group shot specialist. instagram.com/chuppixel_ / chuppixel.tumblr.com -- CoaXCable is a helpful sort, always happy to throw in a handful of blocks on short notice. Wherever we have a rough spot, he's holding it together. -- Grymmjack celebrated us in the 20th century and was baffled on the occasion of our revival, but in the fullness of time he has come back around to his initial response, jumping with both feet into manifesting our intention as a crossroad for computer creativity. twitter.com/grymmjack -- A genuine professional teletext illustrator two decades hence, Steve "Horsenburger" Horsley has recently returned to the game for love of the art: "It's kind of frustrating to discover you are good at something only to realise it's pointless in today's world, but I just really like doing it so I am going to carry on." We feel your pain, Steve! At his website you can commission original teletext creations from him, so don't delay to get your own piece of textmode art history! horsenburger.com -- Every medium has several modes: a pre-modern approach, a clean "modern" style, and a post-modern detournement, often in the "glitch" idiom. In Jellica Jake, teletext has found its glitch m(a/on)ster! It is such a simple 3-bit medium there quite simply isn't the complexity needed for things to go really wrong, but somehow this artist, doing more with less, has found depths of texture to imply psychological profundity between the lines. twitter.com/jellicajake / instagram.com/jellica_______ / kittenrock.co.uk -- Taking inspiration from the basic medium of ASCII art, Joni "nscii" Caparas treats the characters as design elements on a black canvas, in a fashion similar to, but fundamentally different from, artscene ASCII practice. Basically, from their base in Berlin they've reinvented the artform from first principles. instagram.com/joninscii / jonicaparas.com -- Kazunari "Kalcha" Naito represents the tip of an iceberg we know little of and understand still less of -- Japan's Shift_JIS parallel textmode art scene. His works are informed by his interests in '70s prog rock, jazz, and fine art. -- The idea was so great it was inevitable that it would spontaneously emerge in different contexts: Kurogao is another visionary straddling the related but very different worlds of ASCII art and emoji typography, blending both into single-panel vignettes. instagram.com/kurogao96 -- Part of a feral tribe of uncontacted textmode artists at the 8bitMUSH at ANSIART.COM, LDA emerges from a family pixel art concern to grace us with the imagery of his people. -- littlebitspace experiments with ASCII art, now turning it into a line art medium, now dabbling with the use of negative space, superimposed for effect against high resolution backgrounds. instagram.com/littlebitspace -- An old dog doing new tricks, MeaTLoTioN has made a return to the BBS scene after many years away, and this time is trying his hand at some textmode art, contributing to the UK scene with some attempts at being creative. On a normal day he enjoys red meat, vegetables, plenty of greens and a shipping ton of gravy. meatlotion.com -- Part of a peculiar current of untapped anxious ANSI art energy charging new talents on the periphery of the digital underground, this time around Odd got zapped with the voltage. @TheOddFireCat -- Pixard_Neh celebrates his pop culture favorites in a self-described self- indulgent spasm of pixelart. We're just lucky enough to be sitting by on the sidelines! instagram.com/pixard_neh -- Snake PETsken fell in love with Commodore computers when he was 8... 36 years ago... and tries to keep the same wonder and passion from when he was a kid, starting to grasp the fundamentals of coding. His modern graphite portrait practice must have somehow influenced his PETSCII style, driving him to try to get the most out of every single character cell. The only software he uses is Petmate, a nice PETSCII editor. @snakepetsken -- Carl "TeletextR" Attrill represents Mistigris' continuing wave of introducing the great public textmode art tradition -- teletext -- to the underground computer artscene. teletextr.blogspot.com / @carlos_teletextr -- VeniVidiASCII got started in 2002 by making ASCII art logos for GameFAQs on a volunteer basis, and has recently resurfaced on social media with the goal of making ASCII art accessible to the next generation. twitter.com/venividiascii -- From Twilight, the Legion, Avenge, Fire, Fuel and through to Blocktronics, the Swede known as Zeus II is a one-man ANSI art industry.
