/Banksy redesign on January 5th, 2026[1]

I'm surprised this username isn't taken yet — Banksy after creating their account on December 20th, 2025

this implies banksy retired from graffiti and started to make owot scripts instead Katiserie

Banksy (named after the pseudonymous street artist of the same name) is a user who first made their presence known in November 2025. Since then they have become one of the most prolific scripters in the site's history, introducing multiple new scripts daily at the peak of their activity. In particular, they have created more animated scripts than any other user on OWOT[2].

Banksy had another username in 2018 but has since forgotten it. They were active as an anon up until December 2025, when they took the name "Banksy" after creating an image paster in order to paste their namesake's grafitti at Spawn.

Their text color is #000055 .

Animated scripts

Banksy was inspired to create animated scripts after seeing Mr. Black's animations in late 2024.

All scripts from December 19th, 2025 to ????, 2026 were rendered monochrome due to a color ban on the frontpage. See Banksy's world for the colored versions, as well as some scripts that are not captured here.

Unless stated otherwise, all gifs on this page are playing at real time.

Platformer stickman

A user-controlled stickman that runs around the canvas, climbing over text and destroying them by firing projectiles. Users with this script can customize the colors of their stickmen and display their usernames over them.

This is a recreation of a stickman platformer script by lime, which contains many of the same animations but lacks the ability to fire projectiles. You can see that script in action here.

Animated Carrion

A script based on Carrion(2020) (which was also the inspiration for a popular blob entity from Spawn).

Two versions of the script were used for testing purposes:

  1. A circular blob that Banksy could freely maneuver around the canvas. It had several abilities, such as creating a splash effect and attacking text using tendrils.
    1. This was most likely a simplified version of the following script, meant to test the controls and abilities of the animated Carrion.
  2. A colorful script that rendered 3 dimensional physics simulations onto Banksy's page, spawning complex patterns that could grow, pulsate, and that became increasingly lifelike throughout the testing process.
    1. Once an animation was started, Banksy could guide its growth by clicking at specific points on the canvas.

The script was started on December 25th, 2025 and completed on January 7th, 2027. The final product was a medium sized, meat colored blob that would automatically attack nearby text using a number of thin tendrils. Like in the 3D physics simulations, Banksy could guide its movement by either clicking where he wants it to go or having it follow his cursor (he could toggle between the two modes using the space bar). The blob was likely intended to be much larger, but was limited in size due to technical constraints. Even in its minimized state it would make more than 3000 edits per seconds, well over the Frontpage's ratelimit.


Other scripts

Image pasters

Banksy created a variety of unique image pasters in December 2025 and January 2026.

Blobby Paint

A script for doodling on the canvas.

It shares some effects with the animated Carrion scripts, creating lines by chaining together black dots of various sizes.

On January 6th, Banksy started experimenting with a colored version of the script in his personal testing world. This update also introduced high quality brush styles, making it by far the most complex brush script at the time.

Art

Most of the following art is archived on /Banksy.

Unicode art

Banksy is somewhat sufficient in making simple unicode/SLC art, which is sometimes used in their animations. Some of these are traced off of image pastes.

Link art

The following images were created by Banksy during the 2025 color ban, when (excluding emojis) only coordinate and URL links could be used for color. With this limited palette in mind, Banksy made purposeful decisions to highlight important parts of these monochrome image pastes, giving them an artistic quality in the process. The relative rarity of color would have also made these additions all the more eye-catching for users active during the color ban.

A couple of these are also entire handmade.

Notes

  1. The Center Console is a replica of the YWOT spawn box. "Is muh bennis" was a running gag from YWOT in the early 2020s (and possibly earlier) where someone would write "is muh bennis" beneath the Spawn box almost every day.
  2. That we know of.
  3. Turn up brightness to see all details.
  4. 4.0 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 See full color version on /Banksy.
  5. This script originally used a dynamite stick emoji instead of a bomb emoji.
  6. FP and PinkiePie (among others) have created similar scripts in the past.
  7. it was intended to be like giant amoeba but when i coded the cut-off to be late it looked like worms which i thought were cool — Banksy
  8. The worms/snakes/amoebas were made from octants, and were yellow in their full-colored states. Banksy also created thinner, longer worms.
  9. From generating too many hearts in one place. The glitchy effect is created whenever two hearts touch.
  10. 10.0 10.1 The butterflies were initially orange, but got changed to teal in order to match the colors of Banksy's page.
