Mistigram: and not to leave #teletext out in this round of posts, here’s a portrait of singer #LilyAllen drawn in those charmingly blocky sixels by @illarterate, released in the recent MIST0118 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2BHYSrR

Mistigram: this #pixelart portrait of #Skrillex suffered the same fate as the earlier Abbey Road piece, also by @8bitbaba, but went too far in the other direction - touching up upscaling artifacts, some of the pixels ended up gaining or losing a row. The general point remains: that’s an astounding likeness in such low resolution! This piece was released in the recent MIST0118 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2EtSVBR

Mistigram: @horsenburger got back on the #teletext album art adaptation train once we decided to run with the music theme for the MIST0118 artpack collection. After wrapping up discussion of classic album art, we bandied about notoriously terrible specimens… I had a “hold my beer” moment and introduced him to #Wasnatch’s 2013 #FrontToBack. He had a “hold my beer” moment of his own and returned with the complete album art, impossible to contain on a single teletext screen, stitched together from four drawings for a double-wide, double-height testament to French horns and bad taste. Kudos to @sixteen_colors, who I figured would find this outrageous image impossible to ignore… You somehow failed to go for the bait! I suppose that puts the onus on the rest of you out there to signal-boost this one until it breaks the internet! http://ift.tt/2GvWbgp

Mistigram: you will never fully know the wonder of @8bitbaba’s #pixelart interpretation of #TheBeatles’ #AbbeyRoad album cover over social media, as a certain degree of corruption was introduced into the image while upscaling to a sharable resolution from its original, what, 32x32? To get the full effect, just look at the display from across the recent
room. This picture was released in the recent MIST0118 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2GzzgB9

Mistigram: @horsenburger drew this #teletext rendition of the cover art to #MikeOldfield’s album #TubularBells on request some time ago. It briefly surfaced during the trailer to the MIST1017 artpack (a nod to its synthesized Tubular Bells soundtrack) but was never released on its own until the recent music-themed MIST0118 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2BGIoA4

Mistigram: one can only speculate what @jellica_______ had in mind when he drew up this “electronic jazz” psychedelic #teletext screen (or I SUPPOSE we could ask him), but coming before k as j does, it was a great preface to Kalcha’s wide selection of electronic drawings on jazz subjects that immediately followed in the MIST0118 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2GtZbKm

Mistigram: so we shared a little #PhantomOfTheOpera last night, but I only now remembered @hsifyppah’s #ANSIart take on the subject way back in the May 1997 Mistigris World Tour joint artpack with Dark Illustrated.

Mistigram: @8bitbaba zooms out on his earlier #pixelart portrait of #Deadmau5, revealing the musician in his element behind the decks in the DJ booth, waving, preparing to let the beat drop… or perhaps urging the audience to wave their hands in the air like they just don’t care. (Who knows, anything is possible.) This picture was released in the recent music-themed MIST0118 artpack collection. http://ift.tt/2EgNE0f

Mistigram supplemental: yesterday I was going on and on about #PinkFloyd’s #TheDivisionBell while somehow managing to completely neglect the role its cover art has played as a recurring motif in the #Shift_JIS works of @kalchano.

Mistigram: and just in case we hadn’t quite circulated enough versions of #PinkFloyd’s #DarkSideOfTheMoon album art today, we still were sitting on @kalchano’s #Shift_JIS mash-up adding a #LegendOfZelda triforce layer to the subject.

Mistigram: when is an #audiocassette not just an audiocassette? A: in a year in which the #guardiansofthegalaxy release a #mixtape. So even though my immediate association with the image when we released it in MIST0717 was of slowly loading BASIC programs off of a datasette, chances are just that @horsenburger was signposting his being up to speed with the latest blockbuster when he drew this #teletext screen. (That, or our mutual incredible decrepitude 8) http://ift.tt/2rPYU1d

Mistigram: Uglifruit, meanwhile, would like to note that there’s more than one way to refract a beam of white light in #teletext with this, his own take (there have been plenty) on the #PinkFloyd #DarkSideOfTheMoon album artwork.

Mistigram: this piece can’t be 100% confirmed as music-inspired without an artist’s statement, but it has always shouted Pink Floyd’s #TheDivisionBell at me. (Also the source of the handle of Mist Classic member Publius Enigma, but I digress.) And there in the background, a nod to #WishYouWereHere… but @the_mythical_man only called this painting, released in the MIST1015 artpack, “Mask”… so who really knows for sure? http://ift.tt/2GmOM2R
