2Stoned hails from the Los Angeles area not to be confused with the Dutch
scener who goes by the same handle and is a creative with a 40-year
fascination with the demoscene. 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is unpublished visual experiments, but occasionally he creates art for his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.

3S a mouse has recently emerged from Tokyo into the realm of severely
minimalist ASCII art. To keep them here, we may need to figure out how to
draw severely minimalist ASCII cheese.

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.

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. How to contact them? Shoot a message into cyberspace and
cross your fingers!
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.

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.

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 drawn a number of ANSI art
pieces, mostly in the underserved realm of furry art, and contributed a
colorful roster of avatars to the ANSI art of the indie deckbuilder ZOZ.
They hope you enjoy their pictures and look forward to delivering their
first proper artpack to the world sometime in the future!

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.

Every medium has several modes: a pre-modern approach, a clean modern style,
and a post-modern detournement, often in the glitch idiom. In Jellica Jake,
teletext has found its glitch ma/onster! It is such a simple 3-bit medium
there quite simply isnt the complexity needed for things to go really wrong,
but somehow this artist, doing more with less, has found depths of texture to
imply psychological profundity between the lines.

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!

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!

Part of a peculiar current of untapped anxious ANSI art energy charging new
talents on the periphery of the digital underground, this time around Odd got
zapped with the voltage.

most interest in vintage computer art.

You have seen and been thrilled by the ANSI art of Savage in Sauna and
Blocktronics artpacks, as well as those of Used, Sense, and a hell of a lot
besides back when the earth was young.
Teleko was around the artscene for so little time during his last circuit, we
hardly had the chance to do more than gasp in amazement and ask Who was that
masked man?
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!
