Well my other posts don't seem to have worked, so I've decided to try superliminal advertising to get people to create some #TeletextArt for Chunky Fringe.

Teletext rendition of the Navy officer from the Simpsons episode "New Kids on the Blecch" shouting "Hey you! Make a Chunkytext page" out of the window.

In case you missed the livestream, here’s some of the new #teletext inspired graphics I rolled out. I’ll be making seasonal variations as well, so this is definitely in its 1.0 stage.

As broadcast yesterday on Yle Text in Finland: "Pensive Winter", my entry into the 2024 #Teletext #AdventCalendar! Grid/control code view included, as this piece is more technically complex than it first appears!

#TeletextArt #PixelArt #Art
On the snowy countryside, a polar bear looks off to the side with a pensive expression on their face, while a snowman sits by a country road with a top hat on its head, pebbles for eyes and a carrot for a nose. The image is signed "T G H exclamation point, 2024". The previous image with the grid and control codes made visible, revealing its technical details. The snowflakes in the sky are rendered with alternating "separated" and "contiguous" mosaics. To transition from the white-on-blue snowflakes to the blue-on-black outlined sky on lines where a portion of the shape of the outline is included in a character space, the artist sets the foreground to blue, enters a solid block character, then executes the "Hold Mosaic" command so that the subsequent commands to "Change Background to Black" and "Release Mosaic" will be displayed as that solid blue block character instead of a blank space.

It's designed to be a fully featured text editor for making "proper content", but a lot of people mainly use it for #TeletextArt and it has features to support that too, like a photo tracing mode.

Here we go, it's far from perfect and not animated, but just to prove it's (almost) possible 😁
#TeletextArt #HoldMosaicHell
A teletext rendition of the BBC1 Computer Originated World. It's not quite round, and the continents are a bit wonky from the technical limitations of putting two colours and black close proximity.

Well the revived #WeeklyTeletextArt has got off to a slow start as expected, but we press on, and thanks to everyone who boosted the posts.
Let's try something a bit more open ended than just "picture of a thing" this week.

The new prompt is "Paris"

My first piece of #TeletextArt, a portrait done as a gift for @enbyeon.moe! Plus a bonus version with the 40x24 grid and control codes visible to show how the format works!

#Teletext #FurryArt #Furry #PixelArt
A monochrome portrait of a smiling, bright-eyed cartoon umbreon person, a dark-colored canine wearing a hoodie with a light-colored forehead and ears, as well as a ring on their forehead and a short tuft of hair. To the right, an approximation of the non-binary pride flag in the limited color range of Teletext can be seen. The monochrome portrait of the bright-eyed non-binary umbreon person shown with a 40x24 grid and visible control codes to demonstrate the structure of Teletext. It is shown that control codes take up space on the grid and room must be made to include them; that control codes only apply to the line where they are used; that the "mosaic" mode, or block-drawing mode, is not the default and must be switched to; and that the artist must then switch back to "alphanumeric" mode to type anything but an uppercase letter.

There's still time to send in your best artworks for a page of your own in the #TeletextArt Showcase (p104), or an article about your website/radio station/ska band/implausible animal based business* on ChunkyText

*can you tell I'm running out of steam with these posts 😆

Getting in on the #WeeklyTeletextArt prompt: Pirates!

I'm surprised I was first in with this idea, I'll be honest! Radio Caroline felt an obvious choice.

In a way, we're all now doing 'pirate' teletext!

@radiocaroline.bsky.social

#Teletext #TeletextArt #WeeklyTeletextArt #RadioCaroline #Pirates
Teletext pixel artwork of the Radio Caroline ship 'Ross Revenge' (red ship with a large transmission mast and the text 'radio caroline' on the side of the upper decks), on the sea against a background of a relatively clear sky with a few fluffy clouds.

This week's new #WeeklyTeletextArt prompt is simply "Pop".

If you enjoy #TeletextArt, please do join in, and share the posts widely as it's really difficult to reach people with this kind of thing these days.

After far too long a wait, the Enterprise-D is finally gracing the front page of TrekkieText (albeit with some necessary artistic licence!)

Browse TrekkieText (starting on Nemetext p700): www.jamienemeth.co.uk

#StarTrek #Teletext #TeletextArt #PixelArt #Art
Page 700 from my Teletext service, Nemetext, entitled TrekkieText (as it is a Star Trek themed section). Date shown as 2410.29 (date in a format which is a nod to Star Trek's stardates) Pixel artwork of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation, against a starry background. The Enterprise is almost face on, with a large saucer-shaped section, the iconic two warp nacelles on pylons extending from a hub attached below the saucer, which also has an illuminated oval deflector dish. Room lights can be seen illuminated in the saucer. Text reads: These are the voyages to bring you the original Star Trek TV listings on their original air dates (in the UK at least) from the BBC Radio Times archives. P701 The Original Series, Season 1 P710 QUIZ: 'The Man Trap' special P711 The Next Generation, Season 1 P799 Sources/Credits

#TeletextArt inspired by last night's 'Vanished Wales' documentary on ITV Wales:
www.itv.com/watch/vanish...

Context: the village and community of Capel Celyn in North Wales was infamously wiped out when the Tryweryn valley was flooded to build a reservoir to provide water for Liverpool in 1965.
Pixel/teletext artwork of an amorphous red blob with the words 'Cofiwch Dryweryn' in white (Welsh for 'Remember Tryweryn') against a white background, a nod to the well-known 'Cofiwch Dryweryn' painted mural in Llanrhystud near Aberystwyth.
