SAG: sad attempts at greatness
stereotyping
OBLiGATORY iNFO: looking back on a lot of the art i put out back in the
day i realized that i would ramble on and on about me not liking my
fonts and logos. im not sure if it was one of those things where
you show people art and say oh, this sucks! hoping theyll say no
way! its awesome! regardless, it got me thinking that if i could
go back in time id make sure that Al Gore won the 2000 presidential
election. if the weather in florida was bad, i would skip ahead to
the 2004 election and make sure John Kerry would have won THAT election.
this has nothing to do with what youre about to see. i guess i just
have a hard time letting that go. anyway, i really enjoy enz0s
Ansi Legends idea and thought itd be fun to give props to a lot of
the artists that influenced me and/or just made me take a step back
and think HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE TO DO?
not everyone on the list is soley a font artist, they just so happened
to be great at adding sweet, sweet fonts and logos to their already
awesome pics. it took fourteen years of being absent from the artscene
to make me realize that someone who can draw consistently amazing
words has a bigger example of their creativity.

clearly i didnt nail the styles portrayed. id like to also
mention that the style i tried to go for doesnt represent the
entire run of an artist. it could have been just one font that
really stuck out in my head while doing this.
also, this consists mostly of people from 1999 and back from my time
in the mix, and people from before my time that really just stuck
out in my head all these years later. but one thing i feel you all
should know: ns-ink3d.ans by ansichrist is the greatest greyscale font
ive ever seen in my entire life.
