Ansi Graphic, also known as ANSI art, is a form of digital art that originated in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was primarily used in the bulletin board systems (BBS) of the time, which were text-based interfaces that allowed users to communicate with each other and share files. Ansi graphics were created using a limited set of characters and colors, typically using the 8-bit ASCII character set. The resulting images were often blocky and pixelated, but they had a unique charm and aesthetic that has endured to this day. Ansi graphics were created using specialized software that allowed artists to draw and manipulate characters and colors. Some of the most popular tools included TheDraw, ACiDDraw, and PabloDraw. Artists would often spend hours creating intricate designs, using a combination of characters and colors to create shading, texture, and depth. Ansi graphics were often used to create logos, banners, and other graphics for BBSes, as well as to illustrate text files and other documents. Today, Ansi graphics are still popular among a small but dedicated community of artists and enthusiasts. They are often used in retro-themed projects, such as video games, demos, and music videos. Some artists have even created entire galleries of Ansi art, showcasing the wide range of styles and techniques that are possible within this unique medium.
