In April 2018 I was having fun with the Okimate 20 thermal printer with my Commodore 64. It’s a fun printer that can use thermal fax paper so you don’t need a ribbon so you can print black as long as you have paper.

This is a PETSCII houndstooth pattern I came up with. BASIC source in the photos. I really like the built-in serif text font.

Photo of CRT showing C64 cyan botder and blue screen with Okimate 20 houndstooth pattern source code. This is a slightly different variation that uses PETSCII keyboard quote characters which are harder to discern to the eye. Use the other version with data statements instead!

Submitted to Flashparty 2023 and got 7th place but they dumped it category containing short movies so that was fair, right?

@reiver @SrRochardBunson Yeah I would say more in common with ASCII art than pixel art since both use character sets. There is also using
