Mistigram: as we make our resolutions New Year’s Eve (ours will always be lowrez, 80x25), we take the moment for self-reflection to mess up the calendar odometer and release a lucky 13th and final MIST1318 artpack collection consisting entirely of one #selfportrait after another by artists from the extended Mistigris community: their own faces, in their distinctive and unique styles. You can browse the entire collection at http://bit.ly/2EX1tUV or if you prefer, download a local copy from bit.ly/MIST1318

Mistigram: speaking of bent cartoons, I’m not 100% sure but I think that there’s a very good chance this angry baseball bat-wielding #SantaClaus (drawn in #teletext by @horsenburger, naturally) originates from the #SouthPark pilot The Spirit Of Christmas. (Hm, looks like no - there they brawl and fire off hadokens at each other, but no improvised weapons are used. Must be from a more recent appearance!) Either way, it was released in this month’s MIST1218 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2Qe8aD9

Mistigram: But it wasn’t all sincere bitterness in MIST1294, there was also tongue in cheek satirical grimdark, as with Mavrik’s Santafied #ANSIart version of Todd MacFarlane’s Image Comics mainstay (and most ansified character of all time), #Spawn. It’s just funny until you reach his neck, then it’s hilarious. This was part of a colly of thematically related works by different artists, and also 24 years down the line was used as background art for our 4-page interview in the latest issue of @Paleotronic magazine! http://bit.ly/2RbHbws

We released a lot of this vers libre poetry (or “lit”) in Mist Classic artpacks, but don’t often feature it here as it is not a great visual fit for social media. http://bit.ly/2EIPZ6a
