He loves all forms of retro computer art due to the challenge of pushing the perceived limitations. Most of his ANSI work is unpublished visual experiments, but occasionally he creates art for his friends in the BBS community. twitter.com/2S_art -- Ansispoon has been tinkering in the ANSI art workshop for quite some time with anime playing in the background and some of their just-for-fun experiments are getting far enough to appear in artpacks. We are pleased to present some of these. -- 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 oldbytes.space/@atonalosprey -- 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. twitter.com/pixelblip1 -- 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 -- Born into an IBM household, Darokin has long lurked on the periphery of the demoscene. Making hundreds of creative coding .GIFs in Processing proved a gateway to taking the leap from pixelart to textmode art over the last decade, getting lots of practice employing ASCII art stylez in designing gig posters. @darokin / darokin.tumblr.com -- Notes from Underground: DosDoc makes infofile art for the Western literary canon and posts it up in public spaces to impress elites and baffle illiterate lamers. instagram.com/dosdocone -- 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 / @grymmjack@mas.to -- El Hombre Lombre is a pixelart illustrator and animator, recently branching out into the world of textmode art. gabrielmachado.carrd.co / twitter.com/ElHombreLombre -- 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 bsky.app/profile/illarterate.bsky.social -- Kurogao is another bleeding edge textmode visionary straddling the related but very different worlds of ASCII art and emoji typography, blending both into vignettes. instagram.com/kurogao96 / twitter.com/kurogao961 -- littlebitspace experiments with text art, now turning it into a line art medium, now dabbling with the use of negative space. littlebitspace.com / mas.to/@littlebitspace / @littlebitspace.bsky.social -- Mavenmob is an interesting case, informed by equal parts of the philosophy of J. Krishnamurti and his artscene youth in Blade and Echo. mavenmob.com / instagram.com/mavenmob / oldbytes.space/@mavenmob -- 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 -- Mig_moog brings an animator's demented sensibilities to the realm of pixelart. @mig_moog -- 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 / @polyducks -- "[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.
