Ten years ago, I made my first parallax-scrolling ANSI art animation. Today I cleaned it up, made it smoother and added titles and credits.

The original was a user-controllable tech demo I made for my late daughter Jadzia on our BBS, "Guardian of Forever."

So my ascii engine has a big-text mode, and you can get some really lovely effects overlappings glyphs. So far in Grist i've been pretty strictly authentic to the "could it run in a genuine terminal?" ethos. But artistically, I think I'd like to explore these possibilities more.
a purple sun over rocky hills and trees, drawn using 2x sized ascii glyphs with overlaps. It's pixelated, blocky, messy, and impressionistic.

Mistigram: on top of everything else going on, we're hosting another installment of the Blender compo this weekend, where artists combine (or blend) three assigned topics into a harmonized composition. This #ANSIart specimen, by Enzo of Glue, was drawn 26 years ago...

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Tasha Yar, Riker, and Data stand outside with some greenery in the background, a questionably perfect blue sky backdrop, and lots of fog. Yar and Riker have a defensive posture holding phaser pistols, Data is staring at his phone. (It's a tricorder). Closed caption reads, "Spooky " 👻

Teletext Halloween A-Z: G is for Ghosts ’n Goblins

Where Sir Arthur braves pixelated hell in his boxers, battling undead hordes to save a princess. Brutal, iconic, and cursed with infinite retries.

Teletext Halloween A-Z: G is for The Groovie Goolies — Drac edition

He’s a fang-tastic frontman with a Transylvanian twang and a flair for theatrical entrances. Think Bela Lugosi meets Beatlemania — swooping in with slick hair, slicker tunes, and a bat-shaped tambourine.
