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 Most of his ANSI work is unpublished visual experiments, but occasionally he creates art for his friends in the BBS community. 2stoned.bsky.social / tiktok.com/@2stonedart -- AtonalOsprey's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. pixelblip.bsky.social -- Codefenix is a retrogaming and retrocomputing enthusiast, to the extent of being SysOp of ConstructiveChaos BBS and dressing it appropriately in ANSI art. codefenix.bsky.social / @codefenix@techhub.social -- An absolute newcomer to the scene lurking in the shadows of the great ANSI lords, only time will tell if ConsoleJockey is up to taking a place on ANSI Olympus someday. consolejockey.bsky.social -- 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 -- discGator is holding down the text art beat in some rarefied niches of cyberspace, now including ASCII illustrations in our own artpack collections. discgator.flounder.online / x.com/disc6ator -- The Green Herring is a special guest whose story begins in the world of ZZT, where their game "Cyber Purge" became known as a classic within months after its release. They then found Moebius and gradually crossed over into the wider realm of ANSI art. Since then, they've sent artwork to demoparties around the world, unwavering from their dedication to the underserved realm of furry art. They hope you enjoy their work and look forward to delivering their first proper artpacks sometime in the future! thegreenherring.neocities.org / thegreenherring.itch.io chitter.xyz/@TheGreenHerring / bsky.app/profile/thegreenherring.neocities.org -- Esoteric text art designer Hortau uses custom XBIN character sets to redefine the possibilities of small-scale textmode art. instagram.com/_hortau / aquirin.com -- As a young BBSer, Josh "Kirkman" Renaud always envied those ANSI artists. 20 years later he finally managed to sneak something into an artpack. Josh blogs about retrocomputing, BBS door games, and other fun stuff at breakintochat.com/blog @kirkman.bsky.social / digipres.club/@kirkman -- 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. -- ldb (Laura Brown) is a rare bird, perhaps the last practitioner standing of good old UseNet-style ASCII art, with a masterful command over economy of slashes, parentheses and asterisks. asciiartist.com -- Because DurDraw was the only program that installed successfully and painlessly under Linux on the first try upon Googling ANSI editors, MC Fresher makes Unicode text art. -- 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 -- Nick Lakowski is a Vancouver-based artist. He holds a BFA in studio art from Emily Carr University (2004) and an MFA in studio art from the University of British Columbia (2012). His work is grounded in a commitment to grassroots community projects, including experience as a teacher, muralist, volunteer, board member, curator, and events facilitator for a variety of local schools, businesses, festivals, DIY art spaces, and artist-run galleries. His current work with acrylics draws anxiously and humorously from the overly deterministic discipline of neurobiology, the world of commercial painting and paint manufacturing, various indexes and orders of colour, the redactive procedure of painting itself, and a mystical hysteria towards resuscitation and intensive care medicine. nlakowski.tumblr.com / iheartlocalart.ca/artists-2/nick-lakowski instagram.com/niklkovfska -- A '90s ANSI art acolyte recently finding his way back to the fold, Nitron has made up for lost time releasing solo artpacks and making guest appearances, putting up Hold Fast BBS, and is currently minting screens for BBS door games like it's going out of fashion -- 25 years too late! instagram.com/_n1tr0n -- Claire "Nouscentric" Groulx is a multi-disciplinary thing-doer, using dance, fire, & voice for play in creative communities, and makes a living in the games industry as a 3D artist. madamegarou.ca / nouscentric.com -- Carl "TeletextR" Attrill, host of the Byte High No Limit podcast, represents Mistigris' continuing wave of introducing the great public textmode art tradition -- teletext -- to the underground computer artscene. teletextr.blogspot.com / @bytehigh.bsky.social -- a jack of all trades, master of some, mixing cutting edge tech with old school aesthetics at times... you can find y4my4m surfing BBSes via ZealOS running on hardware. github.com/y4my4my4m / x.com/y4my4my4m -- From Twilight, the Legion, Avenge, Fire, Fuel and through to Blocktronics, the Swede known as Zeus II is a one-man ANSI art industry.
