My first new piece of art for 2026 was the text file art for this demo, featuring my own version of the deer rendered entirely in plain ASCII. It was a lot of fun drawing this guy in (almost) nothing but punctuation! :3

A piece of ASCII art, drawn entirely with text and punctuation, of a deer man with long hair seen from the back, looking over his shoulder and flexing while fireworks go off in the sky. A message reads, "To all at rsync 2026: Happy New Year!" Credits go to Suule for "graphics and code", Gasman for "music and code", and to The Green Herring for "this ASCII".

Mistigram: this somewhat abstract rosy newschool #ASCIIart promo for the second issue of Quip's "Omlette" e-mag (electronic magazine) was drawn by plaZtik and included with our Mistigris World Tour stop with Fistful of Steel in the FOS-0197 artpack collection released 29 years ago this month.
A small round red face peers up over the edge of a large bubbly red ASCII art logo spelling out the letters OMLETTE in a very stylized way.

For context, i'm trying to take on a certain aesthetic with the 11th version of my street lamp flyers. Certain letters seem impossible to write in the MS-DOS terminal.

Happy New Year !　日本では今年は「うま年」。
「馬」と「鹿」＋カップル＝「馬鹿ップル」という日本語スラング的な元ネタです。

Pixel art shows the characters Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock from "Star Trek." Computer art of a robot holding a rose, made from overlapping rectangles. Computer art showing a three-dimensional rendering of a character from the video game Space Invaders. Calvin, a character from the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes", stands beside a cardboard box, rubbing his hands and grinning evilly.

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?"

I made the ASCII art on the cover of a French translation of My Little Dashie.

People have ported it to various terminals and even someone's MUD.

In the 1980s, when I first got on the internet, we had screens that were black with amber, white or green text. We did not have gifs in our postings to netnews. We had ascii art. For #Caturday, here is an archive of #AsciiArt of #Cats

まあ、ほんとにどうでもいいんだけど

私がすまぬと書いてる時は、ほんとにすまぬと思ってるんだけど
すまぬと書いたり言ったりしてる時は、脳内に、このAAが浮かんでるわけで
こんなAAを思い浮かべながら、すまぬと言ってるやつのすまぬが
どこまですまぬなのかと言われると、そこはほんとにすまぬな感じで。

ついでに言うと、これだけでなく、某お寺のサイトのソースに仕込まれたお坊さんのAAも一緒に浮かんでる。なんでや...
