A short three-panel ANSI art comic mimicking the colors, style and format of a comic strip chronicling the Forces of the Canonical Jealous, which is normally drawn in MS Paint and depicts crude blobs with appendages and shapes inside of them. Upper panel: Blue triangle blob says, "My fellow dweller of canon, I must report we have been rendered by a different hand!" Gold circle blob says, "Whose!?" Blue triangle blob answers, "An artist who normally draws animal people of mythical proportions! And has drawn us entirely in MS-DOS text mode!" Gold circle blob responds, "Gadzooks! What an unusual addition to our fanon!" Middle panel: Gold circle blob continues, "But for what purpose!? Why would such an artist, possessed of such strange and unusual interests in artistic mediums and subject matter, be concerned with us?" The original comic's author avatar blob, a circle with a pink dodecahedron inside of it and visible stick-figure arms and legs, steps in and says, "You're not going to belie

One of my oldest friends, @pinkdodecahedron.bsky.social, turned a year older today, so I quickly drew this silly comic for him before I went to work today. Happ…

ASCII art rendition of a bust of an abstract blue-purple bunny, two big glowing eyes glancing at the viewer, lacking in other facial features and their being having a bright cyan outline.

The image is an ASCII-art style newspaper title page. White text on dark background. It shows several articles, headlines, some (fake) advertisements, and graphical elements of a typical 20th century newspaper. It includes various puns, little scenes, hidden or less obvious messages and a wimmelbild feeling that is, unfortunately, hard to replicate in a pure description. Here’s the content: Title: The Road to Fascism, July '26 edition Subtitle: A unicoded zinematic take on —— MANUS PASSIM IACTAT —— Because keeping a diary would be presumptuous. The text snippets and articles from top left to bottom right: “I burn woods for polymoney.” - IGNITING WEALTH DISCLOSURE ODYSSEY: Summer flick has remnant army of journos fighting for FOIA. Top Story: BLISS Passes, Insider Trading as-a-service D.C. · A pleasant murmor, a comfy hum, a warm rustle went through the capital as the adminnistration announced the installment of the aptly named BLISS legislation – Bill for Legalization of Insider Tradin

A snapshot from an upcoming YouTube video upload of The Green Herring's "Snake Eyes". One side shows the cover art, an ANSI art portrait of a planet-dwarfing rainbow snake with the artist's name in a green-white gradient and the title surrounding an image of the snake's eyes over a rainbow banner, with text above and below reading, "Chiptune for the AdLib Music Synthesizer Card (Yamaha OPL2 / YM3812). Written June 30-July 1, 2026, released July 1, 2026." The other side shows oscilloscopes for all nine individual FM channels of the YM3812, which animate as the music plays. Overlaid over the art and the scopes is a spectrum visualizer in a white-green gradient. Behind the scopes is the artist herself, a buxom green fishwoman with glasses in an oversized red shirt, a pleated black skirt and fishnet, smiling with arms akimbo as she looks at the person listening to her music and wags her tail.

Hi everyone! Owing to the limits on video posts on other platforms, I've been working on finally setting up a YouTube channel for my music! Here's a preview of …

Some kind of pterosaur, wings up in flight, leggies and feets hanging, mouth open but it doesn't seem aggressive, it's kinda playful. It's drawn using ASCII symbols on a text editor, the text is black over a white background. I call it Pteroascii.

This is my profile pic on the cursed messaging app I have to use. It kind of helps.#asciiart #pterosaur #art
