Today on Mistigram we celebrate… the end of May. This terrifying @horsenburger #teletext rendition appeared in our MIST1016 artpack with a couple of other political boogeymen, presumably an original caricature drawn up by the artist while feeling his way back toward his long-dormant teletext groove. http://ift.tt/2raWMyk
Today on Mistigram, a colorful painting by Nick Lakowski released in the recent MIST0517 artpack with one of the best titles of anything we have ever yet released: “The Roaming Head of State Shits Riches Across the Land”. Come for the visual art, stay for the poetry! http://ift.tt/2r7wHQN
Today on Mistigram, a @bigredcanuck visual assemblage of Amazonian elements shared in celebration of the #WonderWoman movie. Originally released in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2saaJui
Today on Mistigram, another modern vintage (guess that’s what they call “#retro”) @starstew digital drawing, released in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. Looks like an invaluable NPC in a Mac port of some Exxos adventure game… http://ift.tt/2rJtUhK
Today on Mistigram, we feature one of the final appearances by @dashsharon in a Mistigris artpack, this painting “The Value of Hindsight”, which appeared in our recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2s33Jzt
And one final #TowelDay post, the Pixel Pompeii #HHGTTG #textmode art gallery has been fortified and, while not consisting exclusively of computer art by Mistigris members, assuredly contains much that would be of great interest to anyone who has enjoyed our previous posts today. You can find out for yourself at http://ift.tt/2rEdPKw ! http://ift.tt/2qoZ6hP
One more #TowelDay celebration, @horsenburger has turned Rod Lord’s #BabelFish “computer graphics” from the BBC #HHGTTG television series into a #teletext masterpiece. A sneak preview from the imminent MIST0617 artpack. #IGotTheBabelFish http://ift.tt/2rEAd6o
Another @horsenburger #TowelDay #teletext special, this is the logo from the 2005 #HHGTTG movie, including both a hitcher’s thumb and the rings of Saturn. A sneak preview (so exclusive, it even surprised us!) from the rapidly approaching MIST0617 artpack. http://ift.tt/2r0X1KQ
For #TowelDay 2017 here’s a fresh #teletext illustration by @horsenburger of the nicely inconspicuous #FordPrefect from the BBC television adaptation of the #HHGTTG … soon to appear in the MIST0617 artpack! http://ift.tt/2rlQHAG
Today on Mistigram we celebrate #TowelDay with this teletext portrait of #ZaphodBeeblebrox drawn by the inimitable @horsenburger… Towel Day of course is that day where you always make sure you know where your towel is because it’s a big scary Galaxy out there, especially since the departure of British author #DouglasAdams , architect of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. This piece was released in our recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2rDgOmj
Today on Mistigram, this vintage Paint Shop Pro digital illustration by Hamster Bong appeared in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2rTHtI3
Today on Mistigram, it’s an @illarterate #teletext conversion of “Wind Sculptures” by Eric Gill, released in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2rMrSL1
Today on Mistigram, @delphinehennelly continues exploring technological themes and manual representation of raster displays with “Skype hug”, released in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2qOPXRy
Today on Mistigram, from the @horsenburger #teletext studio, a #GetOut promotional still. http://ift.tt/2qHVsTW
Today on Mistigram, a photo by @redeyephoto entitled “Vortex”, released in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2q6YxJ8
Living Closet “Best of Mistigris” artdisk mark II: we’ll see if the patrons are any more amenable to these digital art collectibles than they were in 1999. I just needed to revive the Living Closet in order to have an opportunity to double down on this historical misstep. These ones contain lean, mean highlights of our modern artpack run since reviving in 2014. It’s a limited run, as you can see, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up with a few surplus disks… Hands up anyone who wants to be mailed a leftover disk (nothing exclusive in the contents this time around) after the dust settles! http://ift.tt/2qB6V7r
Today on Mistigram, a #teletext adaptation of Girl With A Pearl Earring originally by #Vermeer (this one by TitaniumDave) from the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2q3EQC1
Today on Mistigram, another kaleidoscopic image by @daniellonglegs we characterized as “Chalk Crystal” in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2q0AcVr
Today on Mistigram, a @horsenburger #teletext tribute to #KingCrimson on the occasion of the death of the band member John Wetton. This is an adaptation of the album art to In The Court of the Crimson King, originally designed by Barry Godber, and was released in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2qrWRht
Today on Mistigram, an “automatic drawing” by @the_mythical_man released in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2qnD6HH
Today on Mistigram we feature a @horsenburger #teletext rendition of the cover art to iD Software’s smash hit FPS #DooM, originally by Don Ivan Punchatz. This piece was released in our recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2rikJSC
Today on Mistigram, @morganleemcpherson gives us our most acclaimed piece, long-awaited, from the recent MIST0517 artpack collection: the #Hyrule #LightWorld is kind of the Iditarod dogsled race of the cross-stitch world - Morgan wasn’t the first to convert it in this fashion, but its completion is always a titanic achievement to be celebrated regardless. Something a little softer, in the feminine sphere, for Mother’s Day. (And that’s gender essentialist nonsense for every day!) http://ift.tt/2qG1o0s
Today on Mistigram, #ansiart by @bryfacetron made for the recent Revision #demoparty, in whose ANSI competition this humble composition, entitled “4 channels of the apocalypse”, took home 4th place for Mistigris. Depicted are not only a computer keyboard but also a #GameBoy the likes of which bry employs with #LSDJ to make #chiptune music. It was released as a rare ANSI art showpiece in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection, in which capacity it was extended honours as the Sixteen Colors “ANSI of the Day” (#AOTD) two days ago. Hats off, bryface! http://ift.tt/2rbNL5v
Today on Mistigram, @starstew gives us one of the more hilarious portmanteaus I’ve ever seen - who manipulates the spines of giant monsters to keep them aligned and balanced? Why… the Kaijupractor of course! Depicted is an advanced Rolfing maneuver. Released in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2pFLzSq
Today on Mistigram - this “catscan” piece by @jellica_______ was the leading edge of their unique glitched-out #teletext style when we socked it away in the /incoming/ directory for the recent MIST0517 artpack collection, and they have since progressed so far this is like an archeological artifact. http://ift.tt/2q6Rofe
Today on Mistigram, we celebrate the approach of spring and summer with this floral #pixelart scene by @cookieheart_ , released in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2qr0Z23
Today on Mistigram, @horsenburger gives us some #teletext nightmare fuel in the form of #Pennywise the dancing clown from Stephen King’s “It”. Why can’t we ever have any NICE clowns like Puddles Pity Party? This drawing was released in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2pXVXIC
Today on Mistigram, it’s another @redeyephoto of something familiar, rendered utterly alien. Cluster of light bulbs, bunch of grapes, or perhaps a forest of fungal spores? This one is entitled “Hyperspace” and appeared in our recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2pTtG6d
Something you just strike a chord. (hi, @romanlozovoi!) http://ift.tt/2pU2DYC
Today on Mistigram, @horsenburger provided us a colourful (& un-colour-clashed) #teletext portrait of the inventory of the #ZXSpectrum , Clive Sinclair, released in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2pnrEIJ
Today on Mistigram - #NekoAtsume in the real world! This fantastic #perlerbeads #pixelart cat-bum construction is the handiwork of @awesomeangela13 (for which she surely deserves a… cat-ass-trophy?) and appeared in the recent MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2pR7El3
Today on Mistigram, @horsenburger drew a #SwampThing in #teletext to commemorate the recently departed original artist on the DC / Vertigo Comics mainstay, Bernie Wrightson. Excellent colour contrast milked out of the limited teletext 3-bit palette! This picture was released in yesterday’s MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2qHHwa3
And a closing nod to today’s #maythe4thbewithyou spree, also the last gasp of last month’s April Fool’s MIST0417 collection, it’s one final splendidly odd @taffi_louis meme, condensing past and present into one queer moment where the innocence of childhood is mashed up with the prurient knowledge of experience. Huh! http://ift.tt/2pFZEmg
And if fine art themes are little too highbrow for your tastes, the new MIST0517 artpack also offers a nice selection of #pixelart derived from today’s cultural vanguard medium: #videogames ! #CommanderKeen #teletext #kirby #Doomguy #NekoAtsume #perlerbeads #Rampage #Atari2600 #LightWorld #needlepoint #Hyrule http://ift.tt/2qFnTzj
Really digging for a few last #maythe4thbewithyou gasps from our back catalogue, this spot of textmode illustration was used by our then hirez department head Grim Reaper to clarify some logotype matter on our BBS echomail forum KitschNet back in the mid-late ‘90s, immortalized for posterity in an issue of our Kithe e-mag (electronic magazine). #AT&T #DeathStar #thatsnomoonitsatelecommonopoly http://ift.tt/2pMhrbL
If you enjoy traditional and modern fine arts, you may find something of interest in a little sub-theme of our new MIST0517 artpack, where a number of #teletext artists independently came up with adaptations of earlier celebrated works - Haring, Escher, Warhol, Matisse, Vermeer… http://ift.tt/2p2rpa2
For #maythe4thbewithyou @athenacreative contributed this #StarWars take on her webcomic alter ego, included in the fresh MIST0517 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2qK2x2W
The MIST0517 #artpack is out as of today - spanning everything from #pixelart to #painting, #teletext to #textile, #photography to #poetry… There’s something for everyone. Check it out now in a web gallery at http://ift.tt/2pKt4hs http://ift.tt/2qwmdLg
#maythe4thbewithyou - here’s a minimalist computer graphics test of a Snow speeder and pilot in an eerily empty Rebel Alliance base on Hoth. Drawn by Inferno, released 19 years ago to the month in M-9805-B.ZIP http://ift.tt/2pdzxjO
#maythe4thbewithyou and to prove it, here’s a coloured #ASCIIart rendition of #BobaFett drawn by Dead Soul from our Mistigris World Tour stop in FIRE0497. http://ift.tt/2pCMiHz
Today on Mistigram, #maythe4thbewithyou in which we celebrate #starwars with this digital drawing of some repugnant relation to #JabbatheHutt by Sentience from the freshly released MIST0517 art pack collection. Don’t hold back now, tell us how you REALLY feel! http://ift.tt/2qDjEEw
Today on Mistigram, a stark @horsenburger #teletext portrait of #BruceWillis using only two colours! Released in the MIST0217 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2qrP2bO
Today on Mistigram, a striking architectural photograph by @dubaiwalla of… well, you can guess the #Berlin location. It was released in our MIST1116 22nd anniversary artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2pTfAD3
Today on Mistigram, another @horsenburger #teletext masterpiece - a common angle on #MaxHeadroom the cyberpunk icon of the ‘80s, often attempted, rarely achieved with such deft aplomb. Released in the MIST0217 artpack. You can practically hear him saying “C-c-c-c-catch the wave!” http://ift.tt/2pOtkyI
