ASCII graffiti combines computer culture with street culture by spraying text graphics on to physical surfaces. By making stencils from old low-res computer fonts it can mimic the classic look of 80’s and 90’s text graphics like ASCII and ANSI.
I did traditional graffiti in the streets and ASCII art on the computer in the 1990’s. After starting the TEXT-MODE blog, I was inspired to combine the two. I did a PETSCII-background for a friend’s graffiti piece in 2012 and in 2014 I made the first proper ASCII graffiti.

ASCII graffiti brings computer culture to the streets. I make stencils from old low-res computer fonts characters and spray them on walls to mimic the look of ASCII, ANSI and other text graphics.
In the 1990’s I did traditional graffiti as well as ASCII art, but not at the same time. After starting the TEXT-MODE blog, I was inspired to combine the two. I did a PETSCII-background for a friend’s graffiti piece in 2012 and in 2014 I made the first full ASCII graffiti.
