Everything since then has been a feverish frenzy of creation and getting up to speed. adelfaure.net / adelfaure.itch.io / twitter.com/adelfaure -- "Adept"April Monoceros runs Storm BBS and, for its calendar door, drew a different ANSI to be displayed daily celebrating famous and obscure holidays all throughout the year. april.tech / bbs.stormbbs.com -- Atonalosprey's credentials and qualifications for participating in an undertaking such as the commission of a computer artpack are so increasingly abundant -- now moreso than ever! -- that it would be pointless to elaborate upon at any further length. youtube.com/user/antonvanoosbree / instagram.com/atonalosprey -- AXB threw down newschool ASCII art with the best -- Remorse, ACiD and Unit -- during the underground computer artscene's silver age, starting in 1996... but since none of them are around anymore, he's been reduced to slumming with us. iaxb.com/ascii.htm -- Axl is a Parisian artist who works in many styles but who stumbled upon the Japanese flavour of the Commodore 64's PETSCII aesthetic and is feverishly working every angle of it, machine-generated and bespoke. His NES-style platform game-in-progress "Andarnov" rocks that style but is in need of programmer support. instagram.com/axltm -- 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 -- Chris D Wil (formerly psykoholik, psykoz on efnet irc and area code 713 BBSes) returns to the artscene (formerly releasing with RCA and sporadically with true, remorse, serial, etc.) after a 21 year absence. facebook.com/psyzygymusic -- CoaXCable of CoolPHat 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, specialising in infofile art and demoparty participation. -- Codefenix is a retrogaming and retrocomputing enthusiast, to the extent of being SysOp of ConstructiveChaos BBS and dressing it appropriately in ANSI art. conchaos.synchro.net -- Darkman Almighty administers the USS Excelsior BBS, and picked up a little ANSI art along the way so as to better skin his Starbase in cyberspace most appropriately. excelsiorbbs.ddns.net:2000 -- 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 -- 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 -- The Knight is what we like to consider an OG underground computer artist, emerging in tandem to Mist Classic with a run in Fuel from 1995-1998 in Belgium, only to disappear for a little longer than we did, roaring back to life in 2017 in a fantastic profusion of ANSI art in Fuel, then Lazarus. -- Kurogao is another bleeding edge textmode 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 textmode art concern to grace us with the imagery of his people. -- 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 -- 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 -- A Milk Dud isn't a failed candy, but a happy accident, an inadvertent discovery of something great. Which brings us to Pixeldud. twitter.com/ThePixelDud / ko-fi.com/pixeldud -- Shi-akuma is a mystery wrapped in a riddle stuffed in a gyoza wrapper. -- "[vermileonhart has] been into tech since I was a little kid, I've been fiddling with computers all my life but my heart has always yearned for the arts and any means of creative expression... sadly, I've never been good at it, or couldn't find any medium that felt fulfilling. But one particular night it came to me... ASCII art. I remembered my dad and I playing in his old DOS computer, writing shit into terminals and getting drawings made with text. And it was like an epiphany: I could make art that was in my tech realm, and it would pay homage to those old days when I was a kid and everything was alright. So I became obsessed with it... I started looking for anything related to ASCII art, found out about BBSs, art packs... all of that. And that got me here." twitter.com/vermileonhart -- 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, Sysop of Planet Caravan, has recently dropped back into ANSI art practice as though through a wormhole in the space-time continuum. -- MISTIGRIS DISTRIBUTION SITES: conchaos.synchro.net bbs.inktwo.com:23 bbs.planetcaravan.org erb.pw/the-bbs bbs.stormbbs.com excelsiorbbs.ddns.net:2000 16colo.rs/group/mistigris artpacks.org mistigris.org instagram.com/mistfunk twitter.com/mistfunk discord.gg/9R84QUN tumblr.com/mistfunk ... and our usual round of greetz to our colleagues at: blocktronics.org, LazarusBlocks.com, Legacy, impure.nl, galza.org, @hirmuofficial, soundcloud.com/bitcouver, vanchipmusic.ca, ArakNet and TABNet!
