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 -- DW of Dark Systems BBS adapts video game sprite art and bead / cross-stitch patterns of classic and nostalgic nerdy subjects into ANSI art versions, free for all and sundry to make use of. dsbbs.ca -- Dwimmer began with an interest in fractals and programming art and in a roundabout fashion found their way to the demoscene and textmode arts, including ANSI, ASCII and PETSCII. instagram.com/dwimmer.tm -- Farrell_Lego prefers a broader canvas for his brick mosaics, engaging all manner of nerdy subjects against grey studded backings... hoping against hope that he doesn't, again, run out of pieces! instagram.com/farrell_lego -- 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 -- Illarterate is a multimedia artist from Wigan, UK. Despite attempts to modernise, he will forever be known as 'That Guy That Does Teletext Art'. But whoever said that's a bad thing? twitter.com/illarterate / teletextart.tumblr.com danfarrimond.co.uk / portfolio.illarterate.co.uk -- 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 -- Dr. Jim Gerrie understands that while we have witnessed a huge amount of technological progress in the field of home computing over the past three or four decades, something important has been lost along the way. Consequently, his focus lingers on the type-in BASIC era, specifically as practiced on Radio Shack's TRS-80 MC-10, to which he feverishly ports programs that never had any business being there in the first place. jimgerrie.blogspot.com -- 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 -- Like many of us, Leonardo has been sharing underground computer art since late 1994, holding membership in such distinguished crews as Black Maiden, iCE and Fire (among many others) ... he took a couple of decades off starting around the turn of the century, but has come roaring back with a new appreciation for textures and dithering. -- 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 -- You won't see any of Mavrik's creative work in our recent archives, but there's a very good chance that the collection will have passed through his graciously- offered web hosting at mistigris.org en route to you, picking up from his historical facilitator role greasing the gears of Mist's KiTSCHNet echomail network from its home at Daemon's Gate BBS. daemonsgate.com -- Mavenmob is an interesting case, informed by equal parts of the philosophy of J. Krishnamurti and his artscene youth in Blade and Echo. His most recent undertaking is a game called "The Word Is Not The Thing". (Our lit division may need to beg to differ.) mavenmob.com / instagram.com/mavenmob --  Melodia (currently releasing music as Xennial) doesn't need an artgroup, she is an artgroup. One more case of the parade continuing after the band stopped playing, courtesy of the bottomless music in her head she kept on keeping on -- and indeed, has never stopped. We are humbled by her continuing association with us, as to her, all we have to offer is drag factor! soundcloud.com/xennial -- Mike Levens is Unicode -- a DJ, producer, and electronic musician misaligning bit boundaries, breaking syntax, and parlaying mistakes into music since, oh hell, let's say the mid-nineties. (Who ever puts a firm date on their artisthood?) He plays lots of styles of music and is inspired by number theory, retrofuturism, and nice terse three-item lists. soundcloud.com/unicode / facebook.com/djunicode -- Minediru is a purveyor of simple pixelart works on typically nerdy themes, sometimes cleverly mashed up, always satisfying. instagram.com/minediru -- Chiptune is the official sound of the computer underground, but to access previous concepts of a cyber soundscape, you need to access vintage electronic keyboards. That's where Nicholas Vining comes in. soundcloud.com/nicholas-vining -- 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 -- Typically Pixel Art For The Heart paints dramatic minimalist pixelart landscapes, but apparently also had a maximalist video game fanart period. jonathanrawlings.com -- Mr Polyducks, Esquire, is an artist and web & game programmer living in greater Manchester, UK. His interests are in tile-based, PETSCII and pixel artwork using limited palettes. Often presents his bio in the third person. pixeljoint.com/p/125346.htm / polyducks.co.uk / twitter.com/polyducks -- A holdout celebrant of a fellow traveller extinguished textmode art community, Rapid99 demonstrates the pinacle of ASCII art as formerly practiced in the curious forum of GameFAQs. thenewhotness.info -- Rhoq is not only a creator but a veritable scholar of pixelart. twitter.com/rhoq7 -- sk!n has been drawing Amiga-style ASCII art for deZign in his distinctive personal style since... even a little bit prior to the Mist Classic era, making him -- well, what do you call older than oldschool? twitter.com/SkinDezign -- Sontolhead joins us as part of an emerging vintage computer art scene out of Indonesia, where he makes a lot of music and draws a lot of teletext screens. twitter.com/sontolhead / instagram.com/666enial -- 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 -- Uglifruit is the alter-ego of Andy Jenkinson. Andy is quite tall does things with music. Andy on occasion feels the need to express himself elsewhere. andyjenkinson.com / twitter.com/andyuglifruit -- A 16-bit guy in a 64-bit world, VileR grew up when baud rates were lower and signal/noise ratios higher. A bizarre pixelling accident in the mid-'90s left him trapped in an artistic timewarp bubble somewhere on the inert fringes of the demo-/artscene. However, he was recently seen crawling out of the woodwork and into projects such as the 8088 MPH demo, and may occasionally be observed busying himself with nameless and unspeakable oldskool-related machinations. 8088mph.blogspot.com -- From Twilight, the Legion, Avenge, Fire, Fuel and through to Blocktronics, the Swede known as Zeus II is a one-man ANSI art industry. Also, a hell of a cook! twitter.com/Zeus_II -- Last seen releasing ASCII art in Alphaforce (Arc) from 1998-1999, Zylone, the former Sysop of Planet Caravan, has recently dropped back into ANSI art practice as though through a wormhole in the space-time continuum.
