Basically, from their base in Berlin they've reinvented the artform from first principles. instagram.com/joninscii / jonicaparas.com -- Kazunari "Kalcha" Naito represents the tip of an iceberg we know little of and understand still less of -- Japan's Shift-JIS parallel textmode art scene. His works are informed by his interests in '70s prog rock, jazz, and fine art. kalcha.wixsite.com/kalchata -- 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.  -- littlebitspace has developed into a passionate practitioner of ASCII art and PETSCII experiments on esoteric and calcified themes. littlebitspace.com / mas.to/@littlebitspace / @littlebitspace.bsky.social -- Mavenmob is an interesting case, informed by equal parts of the philosophy of J. Krishnamurti and his artscene youth in Blade and Echo. mavenmob.com / instagram.com/mavenmob / oldbytes.space/@mavenmob -- 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 -- Melodia doesn't 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! soundcloud.com/xennial -- Moth aka Midnight is a dabbler with ANSI and ASCII art, pixelart and NES / Game 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 90's usenet groups such as alt.ascii-art. He's 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. mozz.us -- There are many roads to textmode artwork; IRC channels are as legitimately valid an avenue as any. Emerging from the MIRCart realm into the world of artpacks, Picrotoxin brings a fresh perspective to a classic medium. instagram.com/picrotoxin -- Sassafras, our initial gateway to the FANSI world of the 8bitMUSH, makes sporadic appearances from the wilder reaches of textmode art. ansiart.com/Info/Artist/Sassafras -- From Twilight, the Legion, Avenge, Fire, Fuel and through to Blocktronics, the Swede known as Zeus II is a one-man ANSI art industry.
