AtonalOspreys 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.

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!

A genuine professional teletext illustrator two decades hence, Steve
Horsenburger Horsley has returned to the game for love of the art: Its kind

pointless in todays 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 dont delay to get your own piece of
semigraphics history!

Basically, from their base in Berlin theyve reinvented the artform from
first principles.

You wont see any of Mavriks creative work in our recent archives, but

echomail network from its home at Daemons Gate BBS.
