Any ANSI artists still active? reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rwx- · 2019-09-25 19:23 I was a BBS/IRC enthusiast in the mid-late 90s, was exposed to tons of absolutely jaw-dropping ANSI art (iCE, ACiD, etc) - just wondering if any of you guys are still around, or how to contact someone? I'd love to commission a skilled ANSI artist to do some art for the company I work for (infosec, pen testing, etc). It would be a single ANSI in the same style as what the art groups used to produce for things like BBS loading screens, BitchX script ANSIs, etc. If you google "ansi art acid" you'll get the idea. If anyone is interested or knows someone who might be, please let me know! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- digimer · 2019-09-25 20:33 I don't know if this qualifies as "ASCII Art", but here is [a map I ma de](https://www.alteeve.com/w/Build_an_m2_Anvil!#Logical_Map.3B_Hardwa re_And_Plumbing) for our wiki. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- citrixscu · 2019-09-25 20:39 Wishing you luck. I was also an enthusiast and from the area where ACiD was formed. I still look at ANSI art from the 90s today and remember the art scene fondly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- inktwo · 2019-09-25 21:22 I'd be interested to draw some ANSI for ya. I went by Smooth back in the 90s. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- auric0m · 2019-09-26 01:37 Surak Khoteth / Nitron — i still run a tradewars server and recently made a new and improved colorful login menu for it in TheDraw.. does that count? haven’t made a ‘real’ ANSI since about ‘96 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PotentialDeadbeat · 2019-09-26 02:49 Great quest, as a former Sysop and purchaser of some ANSI art or my logins. I also would like to see something frameable to hang up in my office. Not to hijack the thread, just get in line if someone would be open to a twofer? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _burps · 2019-09-26 10:18 There are still active ANSI/ASCII groups such as Blocktronics, FUEL, and Impure releasing artpacks in this day and age, you can find all current and legacy releases on [https://16colo.rs/](https://16colo.rs/) Some former ACiD and iCE members are still actively drawing in those groups. If you want to reach any of them, there are a few places where they hang out. There is Facebook group that you can join at: [https://www.f acebook.com/groups/ansiascii/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/ansiasc ii/) it has both active and retired artists. There is also the Araknet Discord server: [https://discord.gg/Jfkn8FG](https://discord.gg/Jfkn8FG) And for the real retro feeling: there are active IRC channels on EFnet: #fuel and #impure ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nolageek · 2019-09-26 16:58 I know araknet (the group) and filth412 have stores on redbubble. They sell t-shirts with their ansi/ascii artwork on them, so maybe they have some art prints as well? https://www.redbubble.com/people/filth412?ref=more_work_artist_title_n ame https://www.redbubble.com/people/araknet?ref=artist_title_name ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak · 2019-10-10 18:59 I would be interested in some ANSi that would be suitable for a dark, underground, hacking/phreaking/ELiTE bbs/group complete with multi sized logos as well as headers for various sections... Would be happy to pay commensurate of the work done.. I can dredge up some examples if need be - but if you aren’t familiar then you likely aren’t right for this job anwyways... Tks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4_bit_forever · 2019-10-20 21:15 r/ANSIart ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HistoryTrick2279 · 2023-11-10 01:56 Looking for the sixteen colors or legacy Krew discord server. Thanks.
