Mistodon: this social media posting may be the only place you get to see this #ANSIart illustration of internetting while drunk (not recommended), drawn by Picrotoxin and included in last month's new unthemed MIST0226 artpack collection.

In the decade after Ward Christensen and Randy Suess created the first BBS, there was a growing tension between commerce and the common good.

BBSes were born in a spirit of openness and sharing, but it wasn't just a hobby anymore, according to folks like Jack Rickard and Phil Becker. It was "an emerging growth industry of unprecedented opportunity."

In the early 1990s, as BBSes turned into businesses, some sysops and developers started making real money.

Could ANSI artists and publishers do the same?

After posting my #ANSIArt marten mage (https://chitter.xyz/@TheGreenHerring/116212845924153404), I wondered, "How do they wear that hood with that ponytail?" And so I drew it. And then I gave them a name!
