make bad+ art for the love of the game now!
or don't, i'm not your dad, but i think you might be happier if you did <3
this site is currently bad (it's also art, is this praxis?). that will hopefully change soon, but there's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution and all that. so uhhh. yup. that's that
bad+ art!
smorgasbord of stuff ive made. i'll add more as its made and as i rember it exists
random web tools
asciify
waitwaitwait i swear this is interesting! yes i know the "ascii art generator hehe" has been done to death and back already. this one is a lil unique from the others ive found in ways that tickle my brain. i don't know why i like ascii so much.
anyways, this tool is focused on turning your funny into ascii (TRUE ascii, not a png or mp4 of ascii, ok technically utf-8 but you know what i mean) in the most shareable way possible. that means it does images, it does gifs, it does videos (audio included!), and all of that can be exported into a STANDALONE HTML FILE. i had to make a custom ascii video player for this. im quite fond of it. ok that is all (i said it was unique, not comprehensive)

it also led to an in universe writing project im pretty proud of. this is that
thingchal26
this is now! an ongoing art challenge, and a successor to writchal24. i've mostly been cooking in the background with this one, but i'm hoping to make shareable stuff more consistently in march.
+i like most of the art i make, and i even think some of it is good! but for me the hardest part is starting, it's always easier delaying creativity in the hopes that if you prepare a little more you can make something good enough, and for me the best way to escape that is to just...
