Mistigram: this likeness of #BladeRunner’s Tyrell corporation replicant Rachel, as played by #SeanYoung, was drawn by @electrons_from_acorns and included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2qZHjnF
Mistigram: @bhaal_spawn here demonstrates their remarkable knack for pencil portraiture, with this basically photorealistic illustration of #HarrisonFord as #RickDeckard in Ridley Scott’s #BladeRunner. This piece was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2qOwPrj
Mistigram: @horsenburger is back on his #BladeRunner bender with this #teletext portrait of actor #EdwardJamesOlmos as #Gaff. “It’s too bad she won’t live! But then again, who does?” This screen was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2L9iE7c
Mistigram: “A new life awaits you in the Off-world colonies! A chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure!” More nebulous in its #BladeRunner connection, we have this #BBCMicro hirez screen depicting the harsh landscape around terraforming arcologies. This piece was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2R5AN9z
Mistigram: as @horsenburger points out, after today the retrofuturistic setting of Ridley Scott’s #BladeRunner is entirely in our past! This #teletext screen was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/37WWsXJ
Mistigram: and as we get later in the day, we return to @BlippyPixel’s “Hyper Highway” that we kicked off today’s postings with, only to discover, to our delight, that it has kept pace with us over the passage of time! It turns out that the artist also made a nighttime version of the scene, which we here share with you. This piece was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/35IU9Wb
Mistigram: here’s a swell (and Very Green) #ANSIart logo celebrating us, Mist! by this month’s honorary grand marshal of textmode typography, j33p33. It was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2DsWRmr
Mistigram: but of course art doesn’t have to be critical of technology and its dehumanising effects on society… It can also celebrate it, sarcastically! This #teletext screen by @jellica_______ was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2R2YhMt
Mistigram: moving on from the themes of sinister media gateways infringing on your privacy, here’s a wholesome #teletext screen, “We Are Always Watching”, by @zxguesser. It appeared in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2q2Svzn
Mistigram: this piece by the Cuban artist @yaimel1983, “Hurt By Technology”, is on the same wavelength as well. It appeared in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2OvEZxy
Mistigram: one good creepy #Facebook dig deserves another, so here’s @xtcomics, taking things awfully literally in his emoji / #ASCIIart style. This piece was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/35NnXAZ
Mistigram: does @electrons_from_acorns really feel this strongly about #Facebook or is he just bitter that its service cannot be accessed via his beloved vintage #acornelectron computer? Probably a little bit of both. This screen was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2svMYCr
Mistigram: for another totally different textmode take on the same subject, #Caravaggio’s #Medusa, here’s a #Shift_JIS adaptation by @kalchano. This piece was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2qOmdZw
Mistigram: #typewriterart adaptation of #Caravaggio’s head of #Medusa was drawn by @ty.p0 and included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2R3s5sh
Mistigram: “Hyper Highway” - daytime version. This work of #BBCMicro hirez was drawn by @blippypixel and included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2OU9U5P
Mistigram: the day’s not complete without a spot of #BBCMicro high resolution artwork by @blippypixel - this #oscilloscope should do nicely! This screen was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2XTy70f
Mistigram: while we’re talking #oscilloscope, I may as well rustle up this hypnotic pattern generated by @kris10roos. We have humorously suggested it as an alternative option to the old-fashioned manual ways of weaving a basket. This piece was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection.
Mistigram: you have to use your imagination a little and envision that this #teletext Mistigris logo, graciously drawn by @illarterate, is bopping and jiving across the screen while copper bars bounce behind it against a tunnel vision starfield, all while four channels blast sine wave chiptunes. Indeed, the theme of the logo is a #cracktro and we only regret we weren’t able to courier it to you with 0-day speed. This screen was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2R3bqVR
Mistigram: and from still lifes back to selfies, here’s a #Rexpaint #ANSIart illustration of the old #Instagram logo, drawn by @piquansi. This piece was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2rEzNOT
Mistigram: the flip side to vintage hardware is… defunct hardware. Here in the “Corpse of a Device” photo series, @Starstew uses this cruddy smartphone shell not unlike a frame for a still life, redolent of its meditations on mortality (or: planned obsolescence.). This piece was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2pYE7rR
Mistigram: one classic 8-bit home computer deserves another! This tiny #pixelart #Commodore64 was drawn by @stephanrewind and included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2OTyXpG
Mistigram: finally, a reissue of the #ZXSpectrum with a more solid case form factor and a satisfyingly tactile keyboard! But no, wait, this is only a cruel #Lego mockup made by @carlos_teletextr! This piece was included in this month’s new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2q3vegQ
Mistigram: communication failure hirez screen by @electrons_from_acorns, included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2rx5ABq
Mistigram: @gfascii has an ingenious technique for producing #ASCIIart - tracing it in MS Word. From such seeds, such fruit are inevitable! This #InternetExplorer logo was included, as part of their artscene debut, in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/35Cixsm
Mistigram: “patterns” #pixelart composition of pure abstraction drawn by @upper.case. This piece was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2OVN51o
Mistigram: part wood louse, part integrated circuit, this #teletext screen by @zxguesser celebrates the millennial #Y2KBug. This screen was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2QXvOrl
Mistigram: just because our MIST1119 is preoccupied with a gloomy yet stylish cyberpunk foreboding doesn’t mean that we can’t also celebrate the silly and frivolous side of computing also. Here’s an #ASCIIart / #emoji comic strip about #CloudStorage, drawn by resident goofball @xtcomics, included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2QXnZlr
Mistigram: for something a little more colourful, why not one of the abundant minimalist yet hyperpolitical Acorn Electron screens drawn by @electrons_from_acorns? This piece was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2slFOjX
Mistigram: going from one colour extreme to another, this deconstructed drawing of a sweet #rose was made by @the_mythical_man and included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2DlCU15
Mistigram: if @jellica_______ is getting tired of my describing his palette choices as #fauvist, he’s not letting on. This #teletext screen, “Hair 9”, took third prize in @flashparty.ar’s Teletext compo. It was included in this month’s new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2q1v6hW
Mistigram: if you ever tried to run an MS-DOS program under Windows, the design of this guest star #ANSIart logo by @despenser412 should ring a little bell ( - or trigger CANYON.MID). Thanks for the trip down memory lane! This piece was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/34urEuY
Mistigram: incoming transmission from @axltm, recounting a critical #SHARPSCII missive. This piece was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2sfLk7F

Mistigram: “Horizon”, an animated loop by @blippypixel in the #BBCMicro high resolution mode, was included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection.
Mistigram: we didn’t realise it until we heard @sixteen_colors use the phrase that we were celebrating our Silver anniversary, a milestone propelling us to the echelon of cyberspace elder statesmen, an occasion that might be treated with pomp and decorum… But where’s the fun in that? Instead we celebrate with this #pixelart #chestburster animation by @ozunaga, included in the new MIST1119 artpack collection.
Mistigram: here’s a sampling of some of the hundreds of artworks in the new MIST1119 artpack collection, viewable on @sixteen_colors at 16colo.rs/pack/mist1119 and downloadable at bit.ly/MIST1119. We’ve got it all - fanart, original subjects, #textmode, #pixelart, #ASCIIart, photography, painting, #teletext… #Lego! There’s something here for everyone. https://ift.tt/33mZvor
Mistigram: in the final minutes of Nov 25th, we released the new MIST1119 artpack collection, celebrating an impossible 25 years since our first artpack back in 1994! Thanks to @smoothlabs for the dope #ANSIart FILE_ID.DIZ logo! You can download the complete collection to enjoy locally via bit.ly/MIST1119 https://ift.tt/2OSla2K

Mistigram: from his series of monochrome 1-bit landscapes in last year’s MIST1118 artpack collection, here’s @BlippyPixel’s “Moonlight in Yellow”. https://ift.tt/2XLh3cA
Mistigram: @zxguesser’s handsome #teletext portrait of a type 332 rotary #telephone is very nice, but not yet complete until someone also draws an acoustic coupler to dock it with. This screen was included in last year’s MIST1118 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2rnE1dS
Mistigram: small #ANSIart illustration (and large logo) by Eerie for the BBS Sushi Bar Z, released 25 years ago in the debut MIST1094 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2OliV8V
Mistigram: I assure you, the sum of our nerdy creative powers is nigh upon us! But until I can prove it, you can enjoy this newschool #ASCIIart promo by Muton for Mr Flibbles’ BBS Geeksta’s Paradise, released 22 years ago in the MIST3YR artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2OLNVOa
Mistigram: if we indeed took the underground computer artscene hostage in 1996, they upheld their policy of not negotiating with terrorists and failed to fulfil any of our demands. #ANSIart Mist logo by Neophyte, released 23 years ago in the MIST2YR artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2OBUDpW
Mistigram: “Rusty Cage”, a glitch composition by @192.168.10.13, was included in last year’s MIST1118 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/37ygk34
Mistigram: #LongLiveTheNewFlesh! The title of this delightfully evocative illustration by @starstew has been mislaid, so we have no way of knowing what it is actually about, if anything, but any title could only do so much here. This drawing was included in last year’s MIST1118 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2QOga1s
Mistigram: when is our magnificent 25th anniversary MIST1119 artpack collection coming out? You can look for the answer in this #ANSIart adaptation of the “soon” emoji, drawn by @MaxMouse__ and included in last year’s MIST1118 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2XMfafJ
Mistigram: this curator likely saddled this swell slanted 1-bit monochrome #BBCMicro hirez landscape by @blippypixel with a description comparing it to Lovecraft’s Plateau of Leng. This piece was included in last year’s MIST1118 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2D9qN6T
