Mistigram: @axltm has used #PETSCII to design the ultimate interface for the appliance of your dreams! It slices, it dices, it… OK, I don’t really know what it does. It might be easier to rule out what it doesn’t do! Part car stereo, part MITS Altair 8800. This piece was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2FK7iUf
Mistigram: has @pixel_fart reached peak millennial with this #pixelart avocado portrait? Very possibly. This piece was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2RKXBcZ
Mistigram: undoubtedly the product of a feverish brain, this image by @dyscotopia is entitled “Sleep Desperation”. Been there, man! This piece was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2KQcdqM
Mistigram: I had to wait to see if the weather would somehow match up… Not so here, but since the timing is right anyhow I get to share with you @BlippyPixel’s “Hazy Saturday Afternoon” in glorious #BBCMicro hirez. This piece was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2RLJZy1
Mistigram: from the glitch labs of @192.168.10.13 comes this abstract image squarely in the Mistigris wheelhouse. If there was ever any doubt, its title, “The Turing Temple”, clinches the deal. (Good thing we didn’t give the matter any more thought or we very likely would have held it back until November!) This piece was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2KLLTyj
Mistigram: the day’s not complete without a @blippypixel #BBCMicro hirez landscape, so here’s a wild trip to the countryside to kick off your weekend with. This screen was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2NA9rsf
Mistigram: no euphemism, just one wildly awesome oldschool #ASCIIart logo by @skybohannon reading “White Pony”. Get on it and ride! This piece was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2XfRmUq
Mistigram: this intriguing image by @dyscotopia is indicated as having been titled “End Dapper”, which I can neither explain nor qualify. This image was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2JaO4YR
Mistigram: shake off those Friday blues and allow @kris10roos’s turquoise hypercube to shoulder them for you in its capacious tesseract interior. This piece was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/31Yml6n
Mistigram: did we mention the door game #LegendOfTheRedDragon can be played at Booch’s BBS the #RealmOfSerion? What? We did? Well… consider this #ANSIart screen a little reminder. This piece was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2JaO1fD
Mistigram: get ready for the weekend with some nice #vaporwave vibez from @192.168.10.13’s “nice dreams”. This piece was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/31Ymgj5
Mistigram: here’s one for a rainy day! This #teletext screen was drawn by the maestro @horsenburger, who conducts his sixel practice primarily for therapeutic reasons, to help steer his mind from unhelpful or harmful ideation. Whatever your problems are, he believes that there is a path forward through them, and we are inclined to agree. This piece was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2J8YzvL
Mistigram: there’s no point in striving for thematic resonance with purely abstract compositions (indeed, themelessness was explicit raison d'etre for the MIST0619 artpack collection this month which played host to this sawtoothed #PETSCII piece by @axltm) but it sure does leave me at odds coming up with clever or apropos descriptions for them. Here you go, everybody, here it is! Enjoy! https://ift.tt/2xiT6gt
Mistigram: not everyone suffers from heavy rain - witness @8bit_poet’s #pixelart portrait of the fish from the #CatInTheHat, one of several #DrSeuss pieces of his we included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2YebbrD
Mistigram: I was hoping to wait until Monday morning to share this @blippypixel #teletext screen on the Monday morning its title describes, but the sky simply would not wait. Last night it opened up in a mass of thunder and it’s been dumping rain ever since. This piece was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2FBEltE
Mistigram: “Sunrise”, an abstracted @blippypixel #BBCMicro hirez cityscape, was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2xgT1cZ
Mistigram: a premonition of things to come, here’s “Blue Sky Drip”, an image from the desk of @redeyephoto which appeared in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2ZOtO5W
Mistigram: the last time I described a work by @the_mythical_man as a node diagram, I was wrong, but here I go doing it again. This seemingly abstract image was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2RAF0jT
Mistigram: #Lalique designs translated into #Shift_JIS by @kalchano, included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2IP3oeH
Mistigram: “Core Us”, a drawing by @starstew, was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2Lq72xz
Mistigram: this may be it for the warm weather hereabouts until next month, so we’d better enjoy @philllllljames’ glyph popsicle while we have the chance. This image was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2INrHcR
Mistigram: not often visible these days, the practice of graffiti was formative on the nascent underground computer art scene. This caught-in-the-act drawing was made by @theresaoborn and included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2ZP4xZy
Mistigram: timely for at least a few more minutes here in the PST time zone, here’s “Glorious Morning”, a piece of @BlippyPixel’s trademark #BBCMicro hirez illustration. This screen was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2FvoCw0
Mistigram: all you really need to know about Fuzzy Guts is that they were the recipient of a bangin’ oldschool #ASCIIart logo by @skybohannon, included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2KCoqPI
Mistigram: Crowkeeper’s poems are a bit much to share in this medium, so let’s represent Mist lit through this #pixelart haiku self portrait by @pixel_fart, included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2XsfWB3
Mistigram: and the pendulum swings back toward the abstract once more with this Very Colorful vintage computing composition by @kris10roos, included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2WXZrIt
Mistigram: speaking of representational art, here’s an #ANSIart scene drawn by Booch for his BBS the Realm of Serion, celebrating the array of online door games on offer. This piece was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2XxGEIr
Mistigram: some of @axltm’s #PETSCII compositions released in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection are purely abstract, while others, employing fundamentally the same textures and palette, are wholly representational. This ornate mask is either one of the latter… or one heck of a coincidence! http://bit.ly/2NaNMGJ
Mistigram: from this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection, here’s the glitch composition “Transdimensional Replication” by @192.168.10.13. http://bit.ly/2X6Ro0R
Mistigram: from @blippypixel, here’s another piece of #BBCMicro hirez: “Just Anuvver Day”, included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2FvjGr3
Mistigram: just what is this glyph creature, anyway? I can’t even. But isn’t it great? Entitled “Mantleoutofself”, it was drawn by @philllllljames, who made his artpack debut in this month’s MIST0619 collection. http://bit.ly/2Nb4c1F
Mistigram: let’s get a little more colourful, by which I mean “let’s pull out a piece so colourful, there are none more so.” @dyscotopia obliges with this image, “Song of the Universe”, included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/31RCdY5
Mistigram: the programmer’s nightmare. This @ty.p0 composition, entitled “the Future”, conclusively exhausts all possible parenthetical asides. It was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2KzkAqT
Mistigram: @xtcomics started a mass movement in a 12 Monkeys vein with this #emoji / #ASCIIart comic strip, included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2Nbzs0z
Mistigram: now that it is actually Sunday afternoon, we can get away with sharing @BlippyPixel’s #BBCMicro hirez still life of the same name. This screen was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2xbu174
Mistigram: on the road, so I’ve got to keep it brief. @blippypixel taps into his #BBCMicro visualisation to wish you all a happy “Mode 2 Morning”, and we hope you have one too. This screen was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2WTx1zj
Mistigram: it’s the summer solstice, so come on, everyone, let’s go and whitewash #Stonehenge! What’s that, @blippypixel, you say you have a better idea? This illustration in #BBCMicro hirez was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2ZHFgR1
Mistigram: we’re on a brief streak of artists whose names begin with the letter “j” making textmode illustrations of birds. (Oh, that old cliche.) This typewritten #puffin was made by @jamie_graham93 and included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2WWiact
Mistigram: is there room today for another flappy boi? This @jellica_______ #teletext illustration (massacred jpg version) of a jolly birb appeared in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2ZyQbw7
Mistigram: @xtcomics’ #ASCIIart illustrations aren’t always in the service of advancing a gag: sometimes you just get a nice drawing. Here’s a #crane for the ASCII birdwatchers out there. This piece was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2WTCScY
Mistigram: @axltm designed this #PETSCII machinery readout panel with a striking colour palette. This piece was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2x7pkLq
Mistigram: one last sun for the day, a little vaporwave in its styling, this #ANSIart illustration is part of a suite of screens drawn by Booch for his BBS the #RealmOfSerion. You can find them all in their native environment there, or if you prefer, go look up this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2RolU00
Mistigram: indeed, I would never presume to argue with this roiling @redeyephoto image of burning plasma from this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection, entitled “Everybody Loves the Sunshine”. http://bit.ly/2KybtH1
Mistigram: yessir, everyone loves the hot sun beating down on them, as evidenced by this @starstew illustration “The Road to Juin”, included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2RolQgM
Mistigram: of course, you don’t get the thriving trees without the driving sunlight, as @blippypixel demonstrates here in the @bbcmicro hirez composition “Blossoming”, included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2KoLn97
Mistigram: providing a higher resolution approach to the same palm tree subjects (and in the similarly constrained EGA palette), here’s a @my_life_computerized adaptation of a photograph taken at Verseilles, included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2RolNl6
Mistigram: a little summer weather goes a long way, and too much of anything is excessive. Here @Horsenburger takes on perhaps the defining #teletext subject - palm trees from vacation advertisements - and runs them through the wringer of a tropical storm. This screen was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/31HrP57
Mistigram: to help further the tropical mood here as the summer is about to begin in earnest, here’s “Stranded” by @192.168.10.13, included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2IS8ANW
Mistigram: for no particular reason, here, enjoy this #pixelart illustration of a #manatee, drawn by @8bit_poet and included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2MUTXyl
Mistigram: we’ll round things out with one of @BlippyPixel’s many flavours, a #teletext cityscape (that the jpg compression algorithm has really done a number on) entitled Nightfall. This screen was included in this month’s MIST0619 artpack collection. http://bit.ly/2WQ76Zc
