Today’s Mist Classic piece on Instagram: Eerie (whose work you can continue to appreciate today) was like our training wheels – a colleague of mine in iMPERiAL, minting the “Inspector Dangerfuck” series of ANSIs, he assisted my colleague Nitnatsnoc in getting the to-be-Mist-WHQ The Screaming Tomato up, contributing art to our first few collections and even establishing a 418 (Quebec City) division of Mistigris which continued sending meritorious computer art our way long after he’d parted ways (and was in fact actively aiding and abetting our local nemesis, Integrity, with ANSI we would have given our eyeteeth to present.)
We would have preferred an epic ANSI scroller to this, but as part of our mandate was to incubate and nurture attempts to broaden and diversify the possibilities of computer art, we welcomed this doodly piece of hirez (even if it may not have made the cut coming from an unappreciated genius with a lesser reputation 8)
