Alien/Acid
I originally found this dude's page whilst looking up graffiti sites. The graffiti influences can be seen through his work.
Artist: 3.5 stars
Site: 2 stars
CatBones/Acid
This guy is probably my fav VGA artist in the scene. Always churns out the top quality VGA in every ACiD pack. He's a full time tattooist and he looks pretty scary, not what I pictured him to look like.
Artist: 4.5 stars (if I was to give out a 5 it would be for this dude)
Site: 3.5 stars
Eggman/ACiD - The GRIMoIRE
A good VGA artist whose style is surreal at times. Requested for me to review his site again and has much improved from last time I saw it. New funky graphics and backgrounds are much cooler and there is more info such as how he goes about making a piece. While his site is quite innovative and has funky buttons which change when you move your mouse over them, there is no option for older browsers.
Artist: 3.5 (not a bad style)
Site: 4-4.5 stars
Primal/ACiD
Didn't really like the site
because it made me have to click next all the time to look through his
art. Personally, I prefer the thumbnail way. Anyway, his site
only had pics and no info or anything. I like this dudes VGA style.
Artist: 3.5 (not a bad style)
Site: 1.5 stars (you've
got to check out the mad ass animated GIF on the first page.)
TAWTL/Acid
Can't recall what he wrote about himself. Anyway, has a small selection of about 6 of his VGA pieces. Also has a music and HTML section but couldn't be rooted checking them out.
Artist: 3.5 (have to see more to judge better)
Site: 3 stars
Fluor/CiA
This guy has been with ACiD, iCE and now CiA. He has some pretty phat ansi logos (well that's about all he does) in his large collection.
Artist: 3 stars (needs more variety)
Site: 2 stars
imani/CiA
He's a newschool ascii dude but personally, I think he's pretty shit and doesn't deserve to be in CiA.
Artist: 1 stars
Site: 1 star
Jest/Cia
One reason why I like this page is that it is devoted to RIP art. My personal favourite form :P. This is the only fully RIP page I have found and it is quite well done. Includes introduction to RIP, tutorial as well as the Jest's gallery.
Artist: 3.5 stars
Site: 4 stars (extra points for originality and the tutorial)

Dave Hartman's ANSI page
This Canadian does ansi and rip. Ansis look all the same but his rips are pretty good. He also likes the band the Odds which is a bonus in my books :-P

VGA dude. Not a big collection but ok I guess.
Artist: 3 stars
Site: 2.5 stars (average)
This ANSI/VGA dude has been in the scene since 1991 so he's pretty experience. He's page is typical of the Ice dudes (one frame up the left, wad of crap 3/4 along the right) mainly because he designs quite a few of them.
Artist: 4 for ansi, 3.5 for vga
Site: 3.5 stars
This guy (vga/ansi) is probably my fav in iCE. After a long time doing ANSI, he has made the switch to VGA full time. Not a bad site and he actually updates it sometimes which is a hard thing to find.
Artist: 4.5
Site: 3.5
This guy is 15 but despite his age has been in a few groups. He owns a 386 which explains why he is an ANSI dude. Only has about 4 ansis on display but he's pretty good.
Artist: 3 (have to see more to judge better)
Site: 3 stars (same old thing)
Quite a good ANSI artist who seems to be making the switch to VGA.
Artist: 4 stars
Site: 2 stars (cruddy)
This guy is 18, live in Sweden and mostly does VGA. While his page is a bit fucked and only the profile section works I am familiar with his characteristic black and white silhouettes.
Artist: 2.5 stars
Site: 1 stars (what can I say, rooted.)
This guy is 16 and has been doing ANSI for 4 years and has quite a collection. Just had time to briefly check out his ANSI and it's pretty sick. Gotta see his VGA though.
Artist: 4 (have to see more to judge better)
Site: 3.5 stars
This dude from Peru is 22. He's regarded as the VGA king of fonts in iCE and his work is very nice.
Artist: 4
Site: 3.5 stars
Just some old fuck who's done ansi for 15 years. Looked up 'ansi' and 'art' in Infoseek and found his site. E-mail him and abuse him, I did.
Artist: (don't care) stars
