Hello All, as some of you know that visit my BBS I have been a SysOp
for a long time getting back into the game.

I have never been any good at Building ANSI graphics So I decided to
get in contact with a old friend that use to do my ansi graphics for
me and have found out he has passed on.

Is there anyone out there that would likes doing graphics and would be
interested in helping out if so log into bbs and let me know or PM me
here, I’m also thinking of changing name of the BBS to The Ranch!

Thanks

I ended up using a font and TheDraw to make quick easy art for my bbs.

Sorry to hear about your friend.

If you ever used to play around with basic art programs like plain old
Windows paint, then you might feel right at home using Moebius for
drawing ANSI, since it has basic line, shape, and fill tools. Even if
you don't consider yourself an artist, you might be surprised what you
can make with it if you try.

Is TheDraw still around that’s we use to use but now I think the only
option available for Linux is Pablo Draw I’ll look into Mobeius as
Well

Back in the day it was really bad form to re-use artwork  that was
originally drawn for another bbs on your own, but I can't imagine that
unwritten rule still stands. Visit https://16colo.rs/ to browse old
art packs. Download and hack up the original files to your hearts
content

Edit: just looked at https://16colo.rs/ for the first time in a while
and there are still artists actively releasing art packs in 2023! Send
them a msg and I'm sure they'll draw you something

Isn't pablo written in mono?  When I run it on my system it doesn't
honor display scaling so looks super tiny on my 4k screen, and it core
dumps often.
