132mMostly, people ran BBSs from their house. Unlike the internet, a BBS would
have only one person logged in at a time.

node systems enabling a few people at once, but lets just keep this simple.

130mYes, they all have the same computer.
0m
130mHey, they all live in the same town.
18C
130mThere could have been a sale at Radio Shack!
0m
132mBecause modems ran off regular phone lines, if you only had lame boards in
your local area or ANY for that matter and wanted to explore other places
you, had to apply the same charges of a phone call calling long distance.
0m
132mSo, understand that a lot of us were teenagers. And in the early 90s most
parents had no clue what the fuck any of this was. And for most of us that
was a major wall we couldnt get around. Or we did, and resulted in some
major explaining when the phone bill came at the end of the month.
37m
20C
1mAnd just like that, things evolved:

1mEarly 90s teenage dilemma:
Teenage BBS User Hey, pops, is it cool if I make some LD calls to BBSs
20C
1mthree towns over since we only have PD boards here?
Parent Well, son, its the early 90s and I have no idea what you just said.
36m
1mSo, my answer is no.
0m
132mEventually, people got sorta bored talking to the same people they see
in person every day from being in the same area code. This is where early
forms of a network came into play.
Take two different BBSs from two different area codes that are long distance
to each other. For this example lets use my hometown area code 717 and
the area code of where I live now 412.
0m
132mInstead of a bunch of people running large phone bills every month
0m
132mfrom
calling long distance to other boards, certain BBS operators would set up
a network connecting the message base from their BBS to another BBS in a
different area code. That way, people from 717 could call their local BBS
and interact with people from a long distance BBS in 412.

130mObviously this model of PC was popular in the 717 and 412 area.
132mThanks to networking message bases from BBS to BBS, you were able
132mto communicate
0m
132mwith people further away without having to call them.
And as the term networking applies, sharing information took a huge leap.
Home computing was on the rise and this BBS world was about to explode every-
where.
132mBut this new world wasnt immune to normal human behavior.
0m
132mAnd what happens when cool stuff becomes popular? People advertise that shit.
0m
132mSharing information became the focal point of online communications. But it
didnt end there. As modems and computers evolved better software started
coming out. Because of that, BBSs went from hosting simple textmode/MSDOS
based programs and small file size to bigger programs that would run under
MSDOS and/or Windows.
In order to amass a library of useful files and such, BBS operators went from
making clunky ANSi menus to clunky ANSi ads to get people to call their BBS.
19C
132mMore People More Files More Activity
And just like soulless advertising goes, you attract a lot of attention when
you advertise something that looks awesome. People will tune into something
when they see badass artwork.
0m
132mAnd if youre gonna reel em in, youre gonna want your BBS to look sweet.
Most BBSs at the time had very a basic menu design. A sort of a Seen it
once, seen em all kinda deal.
To break the mold people started to take the time to take this ANSi ad
idea and apply it to the menus on their BBS.
0m
132mItd be rather dissapointing
to see an awesome ANSi ad for a board only to find out its the dullest
looking thing in the world.
21C
1mAnd just like that, things evolved
32m.
People started tinkering around with ANSi drawing programs. Mainly, TheDraw
It wasnt long when people started to draw things that actually looked like
things. And thanks to the BBS networks these ANSi ads were seen by a modest
audience.
0m
132mBecause its art, the more people who saw it and got into it, the better
it became. This art would spread and eventually led to people usually within
their area code
0m
132mcombining the ANSi ads into collections from time to time
37m
32mto share with different people in different places. They were accesible
in message bases as well as file bases.
0m
132mIt started to become archive worthy.
And because ANSi
0m
132mis small in file size you could compile an assortment of
them into one .zip file or a pack and the download time wouldt be too
much of a hassle. This was one of the first forms of implementing digital
art to the online world of advertising.
The idea of this catches on. People from all over are getting exposed to this.
It wasnt long until different area codes would have their own group of
people getting in on this.
17C
132mThey would later call that the
37mANSi SCENE.
24C
132mAnd thats where we came in.
0m
132m And like any art movement. ANSi art and artists had their humble beginnings.

132mWhen it comes to things like restrictions and rules, artists like to come

132m around and take it to the limit. The uprise in interest of ANSi art led

0m
132m and exposure, the one-upmanship of artists grew. The friendly artistic

37m
19C
31mThat just changed everything forever.
37m
31mPeople started catching on to this somewhat archaic medium and
37m
31mrealized theyd only scratched the surface. Instead of crude out-
37m
31mlines slapped on the screen, those outlines could be refined
37m
31mand colored as if it were an actual drawing. But then, why stop
37m
31mthere? If youre able to draw a head, why not a body?
37m
31mAnd thats when they launched out of that pool. They took it past
37m
31mthat 25-liner line. Thats what changed everything forever. Well,
37m
31mas in current-day forever.
37m
31mThe best part: They could be displayed on BBSs.
37m
31mYeah, the 25 line gig was great and most definetly served its
37m
31mpurpose. But it was bottling up something that needed to burst

The methods we use to draw ANSi now are the same methods people have been
using since the beginning of the medium. Same colors, same tools.

37mThis is all your fuckin with

The ANSI palette consists of these
7CAs for drawing, a standard ANSI
5C16 colors. These EXACT 16 colors.
7Cconsists of these 10 characters.

So Im just going to chalk it up to being a sadistic secret well never know.
Onto the swatches! As Ive noted before, artists just figure out ways to tell
restrictions to fuck off. Using, no Im sorry, being FORCED to only use 8
of the 16 colors as background colors and with the help of gradient blocks
were able to compensate for shading and blending. This is every color combo
in the ANSi pallete:

131mObviously, any great art takes time. ANSi is no different. Its meticulous,
time consuming, painstaking and awesome. The evolution over time really
came down to one thing: Refining.
ANSis started growing way past the 15 line mark. Blobs became shapes.
Styles were being invented. Soon, artists were taking restrictions in
stride. Eventually ANSi artists were telling the blocks what to do. Limit-
ations seemed to be a thing of the past. Its unbelieveable the things
people were able to produce while still maintaing the limited set of colors
and blocks.
And theres no better example of how far weve reached than with this last
piece. I was iffy on even trying to finish this .nfo Graphic because I
couldnt figure out a way to show a perfect example of everything being
utilized in one ANSi. Then this came to be.
And of course, ANSi artists are always full of surprises. And theres no
one better to wrap this up with, whos not only a Gutter E-Mag alumni, but
one of the greatest artists and personalities to ever happen to the medium.
This is a perfect ANSi and a perfect example of these things all at once:

132mMostly, people ran BBSs from their house. Unlike the internet, a BBS would
have only one person logged in at a time.

node systems enabling a few people at once, but lets just keep this simple.

130mHey, they all live in the same town.
18C
130mThere could have been a sale at Radio Shack!
0m
132mBecause modems ran off regular phone lines, if you only had lame boards in
your local area or ANY for that matter and wanted to explore other places
you, had to apply the same charges of a phone call calling long distance.
0m
132mSo, understand that a lot of us were teenagers. And in the early 90s most
parents had no clue what the fuck any of this was. And for most of us that
was a major wall we couldnt get around. Or we did, and resulted in some
major explaining when the phone bill came at the end of the month.

Parent Well, son, its the early 90s and I have no idea what you just said.

132mEventually, people got sorta bored talking to the same people they see
in person every day from being in the same area code. This is where early
forms of a network came into play.
Take two different BBSs from two different area codes that are long distance
to each other. For this example lets use my hometown area code 717 and
the area code of where I live now 412.
0m
132mInstead of a bunch of people running large phone bills every month
0m
132mfrom
calling long distance to other boards, certain BBS operators would set up
a network connecting the message base from their BBS to another BBS in a
different area code. That way, people from 717 could call their local BBS
and interact with people from a long distance BBS in 412.

130mObviously this model of PC was popular in the 717 and 412 area.
132mThanks to networking message bases from BBS to BBS, you were able
132mto communicate
0m
132mwith people further away without having to call them.
And as the term networking applies, sharing information took a huge leap.
Home computing was on the rise and this BBS world was about to explode every-
where.
132mBut this new world wasnt immune to normal human behavior.
0m
132mAnd what happens when cool stuff becomes popular? People advertise that shit.
0m
132mSharing information became the focal point of online communications. But it
didnt end there. As modems and computers evolved better software started
coming out. Because of that, BBSs went from hosting simple textmode/MSDOS
based programs and small file size to bigger programs that would run under
MSDOS and/or Windows.
In order to amass a library of useful files and such, BBS operators went from
making clunky ANSi menus to clunky ANSi ads to get people to call their BBS.
19C
132mMore People More Files More Activity
And just like soulless advertising goes, you attract a lot of attention when
you advertise something that looks awesome. People will tune into something
when they see badass artwork.
0m
132mAnd if youre gonna reel em in, youre gonna want your BBS to look sweet.
Most BBSs at the time had very a basic menu design. A sort of a Seen it
once, seen em all kinda deal.
To break the mold people started to take the time to take this ANSi ad
idea and apply it to the menus on their BBS.
0m
132mItd be rather dissapointing
to see an awesome ANSi ad for a board only to find out its the dullest
looking thing in the world.
21C
1mAnd just like that, things evolved
32m.
People started tinkering around with ANSi drawing programs. Mainly, TheDraw
It wasnt long when people started to draw things that actually looked like
things. And thanks to the BBS networks these ANSi ads were seen by a modest
audience.
0m
132mBecause its art, the more people who saw it and got into it, the better
it became. This art would spread and eventually led to people usually within
their area code
0m
132mcombining the ANSi ads into collections from time to time
37m
32mto share with different people in different places. They were accesible
in message bases as well as file bases.
0m
132mIt started to become archive worthy.
And because ANSi
0m
132mis small in file size you could compile an assortment of
them into one .zip file or a pack and the download time wouldt be too
much of a hassle. This was one of the first forms of implementing digital
art to the online world of advertising.
The idea of this catches on. People from all over are getting exposed to this.
It wasnt long until different area codes would have their own group of
people getting in on this.
17C
132mThey would later call that the
37mANSi SCENE.
24C
132mAnd thats where we came in.
0m
132m And like any art movement. ANSi art and artists had their humble beginnings.

132m around and take it to the limit. The uprise in interest of ANSi art led

132m and exposure, the one-upmanship of artists grew. The friendly artistic

31mTheres a documentary called Dogtown and Z-boys about the early
37m
31mdays of pro skateboarding. In that doc, theres a part where
37m
31mthey talk about going from skating around in pools to actually
37m
31mlaunching OUT of the pool and back in and seeing it for the first
37m
31mtime. They said it was that one thing that made them think:
37m
19C
31mThat just changed everything forever.
37m
31mPeople started catching on to this somewhat archaic medium and
37m
31mrealized theyd only scratched the surface. Instead of crude out-
37m
31mlines slapped on the screen, those outlines could be refined
37m
31mand colored as if it were an actual drawing. But then, why stop
37m
31mthere? If youre able to draw a head, why not a body?
37m
31mAnd thats when they launched out of that pool. They took it past
37m
31mthat 25-liner line. Thats what changed everything forever. Well,
37m
31mas in current-day forever.
37m
31mThe best part: They could be displayed on BBSs.
37m
31mYeah, the 25 line gig was great and most definetly served its
37m
31mpurpose. But it was bottling up something that needed to burst

The methods we use to draw ANSi now are the same methods people have been

The ANSI palette consists of these
7CAs for drawing, a standard ANSI
5C16 colors. These EXACT 16 colors.

So Im just going to chalk it up to being a sadistic secret well never know.
Onto the swatches! As Ive noted before, artists just figure out ways to tell
restrictions to fuck off. Using, no Im sorry, being FORCED to only use 8
of the 16 colors as background colors and with the help of gradient blocks
were able to compensate for shading and blending. This is every color combo
in the ANSi pallete:

131mObviously, any great art takes time. ANSi is no different. Its meticulous,
time consuming, painstaking and awesome. The evolution over time really
came down to one thing: Refining.
ANSis started growing way past the 15 line mark. Blobs became shapes.
Styles were being invented. Soon, artists were taking restrictions in
stride. Eventually ANSi artists were telling the blocks what to do. Limit-
ations seemed to be a thing of the past. Its unbelieveable the things
people were able to produce while still maintaing the limited set of colors
and blocks.
And theres no better example of how far weve reached than with this last
piece. I was iffy on even trying to finish this .nfo Graphic because I
couldnt figure out a way to show a perfect example of everything being
utilized in one ANSi. Then this came to be.
And of course, ANSi artists are always full of surprises. And theres no
one better to wrap this up with, whos not only a Gutter E-Mag alumni, but
one of the greatest artists and personalities to ever happen to the medium.
This is a perfect ANSi and a perfect example of these things all at once:
