Wild Inside, a documentary about New York's #Flaco the Owl, is now showing in American theatres. I hope it comes to the UK soon! Here's an unreleased #teletext artwork from 2024 depicting him roosting in a #CentralPark tree. Based on this photo: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaco_%... #ceefax #pixelart

Teletext pixel artwork depicting Flaco, a Eurasian Eagle Owl that escaped his enclosure in Central Park Zoo in February 2023. He lived wild in the park for a year, but collided with a building in Feb 2024. Here he is depicted in white and yellow, sitting in a red tree, resting during the daytime. He's fluffing up his feathers and looks like a marshmallow. Text at the bottom reads "RIP Flaco, 2010-2024. Fly Free!"

A 99 Croissant with Flake, joint 1st in the #teletext competition at @field-fx.party over the weekend! Oddly enough, both of those pieces relate to @countbinface.bsky.social... demozoo.org/parties/5538... #pixelart #ceefax #1bit #videotext #croissant #binface #teletexto #Flake #textmode

A croissant is depicted in teletext with an additional Flake chocolate log, inspired by two of Count Binface's pledges to cap the price of both 99 Flake ice creams and croissants. The artwork is split diagonally by the croissant with a 99p label in the bottom left and a Flake protruding into the top right of the frame. Text says "New low price capped forever by Captain Binhead," and additional labels pointing to the pastry say "Croissant-y," "Crusty," "Flaky" and "99-y." The header text says "illegal header, prepare to be vaporised."

Happy retirement, Ben Stokes! Here's a #teletext portrait that I can't tag any #England cricketers in because they're not on Bsky. 😂 @englandsbarmyarmy.bsky.social #ceefax #pixelart #1bit #newmedia #lores #videotext #teletexto #teledata #tekstitv #tvtext #texttv #cricket #BenStokes

A semi-minimalist teletext portrait of England cricketer Ben Stokes with extensive checkerboard dithering and dramatic lighting.

Teletext champion @countbinface.bsky.social has pride of place amongst the birds! #teletext #ceefax

A poster with the slogan vote Binface, Makerfield great again, is shown on a pin board amongst a selection of bird artwork and business cards, and a postcard for digitiser.

It's a special feature of teletext known as 'separated graphics' which makes artwork look a touch scoreboard-core. 😎 #teletext #pixelart #animation #london2012 #olympics #olympicflame #ceefax #videotext
