This gallery collects my best work in the ANSI medium through the years. Most of these works were completed sometime between 1996 and 1999. Should you be unfamiliar with the ANSI medium, I suggest reading the description for this piece as an introduction:
[link]
ANSI is not pixel art. The blocks you see are characters (i.e. text, hence "textmode art"). The ANSI palette consists of 16 pre-determined foreground covers, with 8 optional background colours for each character. Coloured characters or "blocks" are manually laid down on a grid typically 80 units wide by however many long.
Although it is extremely time-consuming, a certain kind of magic can be achieved within these limits...
Here are some links to other ANSI artists on DA:

jSepia's page is also a good nexus for finding about all things text art related

One may also witness the kinds of rubbish mistakenly filed under ANSI here at DA by visiting the category page for the medium:

FINAL NOTE: ALWAYS VIEW ANSI IN FULL!!!

There are specific text editors to create ANSI. My favourite one is PabloDraw, it works in Windows and it's pretty easy to use.
is ANSI a program or could you do it in, say, paint?

Watching the reel as it comes to a close,
Brutally taking its time.

It's happening all of the time.

horutten says: modern expressionism is drowning in cliches, from which most of us either readily accept or try desperately hard to deviate from.
