Love to see retro ANSI art. I was in both the large ANSI artist groups, ACiD and iCE back in the day. These ANSI blocks were a next level step in online graphics, from ASCII art. This was the predecessor to Adobe Flash.
- EvanAnderson 9mo agoI remember diddling around in TheDraw and wishing I could make things as cool as what I saw in the ACiD and iCE packs. Looking at the raw ANSI codes and to see what they were actually doing was a lot like "View source..." when HTML hit the scene.
- pseudosavant 9mo agoGood old ACiD and iCE! I remember fondly drawing some pretty sophisticated ANSI in TheDraw. I never mastered the many-many-screenful art pieces that you'd see ACiD/iCE artists doing though. I did a few chat interfaces in ANSI art too for friend's BBS'.
