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.

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, theyve 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!

Lockja doesnt call themself an artist. They love to scribble, minimalist
drawings that rather capture an emotion than an object, a personality more
than a person. ASCII is just another way to draw, something they do on their
phone. With its limitations it deaccelerates like a meditation.

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 wont see any of Mavriks creative work in our recent archives, but
theres 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 Mists KiTSCHNet
echomail network from its home at Daemons Gate BBS.

Melodia doesnt 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!

Boy / Sega Saturn programming. They have an amateur radio license, enjoy bugs
and think that Zampanio is a very fun game.
Software developer mozz is an aspiring creator and ASCII art archivist,
notably in the style as practiced in 90s usenet groups such as alt.ascii-art.
Hes a relative newcomer to the art scene, having discovered it through
working with gopher and adjacent small-internet projects, and has since
developed a deep appreciation for the medium. His website hosts a personal
gallery along with an extensive archive of ASCII art collections, tutorials,
and other historical resources.

When andy ndh herbert isnt making ANSI art after all, hell tell you: its
dead!, hes building ANSI art-related software, notably including the Moebius
ANSI art editor.

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 its going out of fashion -- 25 years too late!

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!
