Look up SIXTEENCOLORS. They’ve collected, or had before the site took a hiatus, every piece of ansi art in the history of the style. There are some AMAZING pieces.
Cheers to the creator these. I especially liked the Office Space pieces.

April 14, 2011 at 3:13 amGreat stuff. The Saved by the Bell one is great – Without much room to work with, he really nailed the clothes/style.
The T-pain sprite is great too. I would like to leverage that one for my 8 bit mosaic project (http://8bitliving.com)
