Mistigram: as you can see, we’ve been waiting for a while for the right occasion to share @n1njaf1reman’s #ANSIart portrait of #MichaelKeaton as #Beetlejuice, the ghost with the most, but finally… It’s showtime! This piece was included in this month’s Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CHB3vAYnAWP/
Mistigram: Halloween special - we never got @joocelyn to return to ASCII art, but she is still feeling the pulse of digital culture, as demonstrated by this pack of #AmongUs costumes she collaborated on before turning loose onto the streets of Brooklyn. But the big question is: which one is the imposter? https://instagr.am/p/CHB1eeSHRNc/
Mistigram: we interrupt the regularly scheduled parade of Grand Guignol for something still more disturbing: a #teletext tribute to Exterminator #Zed finally reaching the Eternals’ Tabernacle. @blippypixel tips his hat to John Boorman’s 1974 #Zardoz. RIP #SeanConnery! https://instagr.am/p/CHBTNQ8n2s7/
Mistigram: @blippypixel keeps representing with this alien abduction #teletext screen entitled “Light at the end of a tunnel”. This piece was included in this month’s Hallowe'en-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CG-R-JPA3sH/
Mistigris: @Joninscii gives us all a glimpse into #Godzilla’s try-outs to be part of the Radio City Rockettes kick-line. This delightfully stompy bit of animated #asciiart was included in this month’s Hallowe'en-themed MIST1020 artpack collection.

Mistigram: if you can get your costume to do this, you win Hallowe'en. Hopefully no one needs to die in order to achieve the effect. Moody animated #pixelart by @aflamingocup from this month’s MIST1020 artpack collection!
Mistigram: never before have we posted a piece of computer art that so gave so many people a quick urge to smash their screen with a shoe. Most horrifying of all, this animated #teletext #spider by @Blippypixel… has been mutilated by some sadist, lacking two of its eight legs. (But it still seems to get around just fine!) This piece was included in this month’s Hallowe'en-themed MIST1020 artpack collection.
Mistigram: Skonenblades put a Hallowe'en spin on #PatrickSwayze and #JenniferGrey’s iconic physical rapport in 1987’s #DirtyDancing as part of an October daily drawing challenge. This incredible mash-up was included in the recent MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CG8WYiEgPug/
Mistigram: here’s a #pixelart portrait of “Master of Suspense”, filmmaker #AlfredHitchcock, posing with a pair of co-stars from his 1963 movie “The Birds”. This piece was made by @pixard_neh and included in this month’s Hallowe'en-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CG8VgdMgxIO/
Mistigram: one final #Predator vignette for today, an emoji gag by @xtcomics. This piece was included in last month’s film-themed MIST0920 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CG5v3ranfhd/
Mistigram: when Dutch (#ArnoldSchwarzenegger) said “If it bleeds, we can kill it”, he was technically speaking correct… but it didn’t do his squad much good. This #Lego pixelart portrait from #Predator was made by @farrell_lego and included in last month’s film-themed MIST0920 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CG5vactn4Dr/
Mistigram: Speaking of what is shown vs merely implied, Mac vowed to avenge his friends on the #Predator but sadly no one told the Plasmacaster, which has him targeted. This #teletext screen was drawn by @horsenburger and included in this month’s Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CG5u7dGnEXX/
Mistigram: @stephanrewind’s #pixelart portrait of #Predator leaves a little less to the imagination, but it’s a handsome rendition of an interstellar hunter who goes to great lengths to never be seen. This piece was included in this month’s Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CG5tuLPnbpk/
Mistigram: “What the hell are you?” This monochrome @horsenburger #teletext silhouette of the creature from 1987’s #Predator was included in this month’s Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CG5tJZdnvuu/
Mistigram: OK, you made it through a bunch of frankly terrifying posts about #Jaws, you’ve earned this levity interlude of marine biologist #MattHooper (#RichardDreyfuss) making a rude face. @horsenburger captured this moment in #teletext in last month’s film-themed MIST0920 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CG1uII3nMJR/
Mistigram: police chief #MartinBrody (#RoyScheider) got the shock of his life while chumming the water from the deck of the Orca. This moment sets up the biggest line in the entire movie (#Jaws, 1975): “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” @horsenburger nailed it in #teletext, as demonstrated by this screen, included in the MIST1018 artpack collection released two years ago this month. https://instagr.am/p/CG1tc4JnPyD/
Mistigram: @horsenburger caught the precise moment of the ironic death of shark hunter #SamQuint (#RobertShaw) from the 1975 movie #Jaws, and committed it to #teletext quite naturally. This screen was included in the MIST1018 artpack collection released two years ago this month. https://instagr.am/p/CG1se9-n6I0/
Mistigram: you remember - #Jaws: “You’ll never go in the water again.”. @andyuglifruit also commemorates the terrifying 1975 blockbuster in #teletext with this screen from this month’s new Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CG1rwlWngQy/
Mistigram: #ChrissieWatkins (#SusanBacklinie) is out for an early morning skinny dip… What’s so scary about that? And why do I hear those two notes playing over and over again? This #teletext illustration of the opening moments of Steven Spielberg’s 1975 blockbuster #Jaws was drawn in #teletext by @horsenburger. This screen was included in the new Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CG1rYyFnfgi/
Mistigram: “This is fine.” Like a Barton Fink for the new millennium, here’s a haunting #pixelart scene by the typically purely aesthetic @pixelartfortheheart. This time, there’s a little more storytelling in the mix, and I regret to inform you that you are also a character in this narrative. I fear it does not end well.
This piece was included in this month’s new Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGyut92Hyzz/
Mistigram: and from last month’s film-themed MIST0920 artpack collection, here’s a monochrome #teletext portrait of filmmaker #DavidLynch, drawn by @horsenburger. https://instagr.am/p/CGyoksmnlJP/
Mistigram: in a similar vein, here’s an exquisite red gate drawn in #pixelart by aflamingocup. This piece was also included in the new Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGyoWDhnEep/
Mistigram: this trippy #teletext screen was drawn by @andyuglifruit in homage to the #redroom in the #blacklodge from #DavidLynch’s #TwinPeaks. This screen was included in this month’s Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGyoAQNH_Ns/
Just to clarify again, this incredible #ANSIart screen wasn’t drawn by an artist in our stable, but by Burps, then of @fuelwtf (and then and now the current genie at the heart of @sixteen_colors). He drew it for a Blender improvised art competition last year (about the spontaneous topics SUPERMODELS / MARTIAL ARTS / HAUNTED RUINS) and we are hosting another one starting in just a couple of hours - check out channel #blender on the EFnet IRC for updates! https://instagr.am/p/CGvUajEHtuW/
Mistigram: @horsenburger has also been trying his hand at digital illustrations lately, as demonstrated by this portrait of #AnthonyHopkins as #HannibalLecter in #TheSilenceOfTheLambs. This piece was included in the new Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGvTprhnlkn/
Mistigram: @mig_moog drew this little upside-down creep as part of an October daily #pixelart drawing challenge and now he can disturb you also! This piece was included in the new Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGvTZ4xHPdu/
Mistigram: Of special local appeal, this #teletext portrait of “Spooky” #FoxMulder (#DavidDuchovny) and #DanaScully (#GillianAnderson) of the #XFiles was drawn by @horsenburger and included in the new Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. #IWANTTOBELIEVE https://instagr.am/p/CGvTJCmnWs2/
Mistigram: earlier this year there was a wave of #C64 artists seeing just how small they could make intelligible #PETSCII images for the 2020 “Tiny PETSCII contest” of 8x8 portraits. There were over 300 entries, one of them this tiny textmode #zombie made by @buzz_clik of Onslaught. It was included in the new Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGvSzCbHazK/
Mistigram: @1bitwonder’s lovingly dithered monochrome #plaguedoctor is a little more formal, sharing the scene with some medicinal herbs and a surprise guest peeking down from the moon. This piece was included in the new Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGvST1yHbNj/
Mistigram: this #plaguedoctor is taking advantage of the latest pandemic-fighting technology - not just wearing a mask, but also alcohol handrub (or “SANE-itizer” as the artist’s title has it.). This #teletext screen was drawn by @blippypixel and included in the new Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGvSGfFn00S/
Mistigram: what could be more wholesome than a diverse group of young people communing with the spirits of their ancestors? This #pixelart #Ouija board scene was drawn by aflamingocup and included in the new Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGvRv-BHBrz/
And now for something completely different: some #ansiart we didn’t make! Again, it’s a Halloweeny entry from a historic Blender improvised art competition, this one drawn by plazz (logo by sarcasm and catch22) of Glue, on the topics “monster / suntanning / in Florida”, made some time circa 1998. The reason we share this, and now? We are hosting a Blender compo in #blender on the EFNet IRC tomorrow, Saturday, Oct 24th! Details at https://ift.tt/3dNDfuA
See you there! https://instagr.am/p/CGsVMyAgYU3/
Mistigram: and to cap it all off, an apocalyptic landscape by @pixelartfortheheart! (Or, you got me, maybe it’s just a regular sunset during forest fire season.) This piece was included in the new MIST1020 artpack collection! https://instagr.am/p/CGsUWEbAHXr/
Mistigram: Duncan “Skonen_blades” Shields has been tearing up daily drawing challenges this October, among which this specific entry stands out like a gleaming beacon. The semantic content – it’s so dense! This piece was included in this month’s MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGsRffbAB42/
Mistigram: keeping it digital, here @electrons_from_acorns explores the bottomless appetite of certain data-harvesting algorithms, employing a creepy metaphor and a classic 8-bit aesthetic! This piece was included in the new MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGsRCHfg0mg/
Mistigram: @XTComics works hard for his jokes, but immersed in his #asciiart medium, he’s definitely got his finger on a pulse of sorts (the Fairchild 555 timer perhaps?) Here he explores the burning conundrum of whether a reanimated corpse is more or less scary than low battery life on a smartphone. I think it’s an open question! This piece was included in the new MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGsQ34yAYXl/
Mistigram: kicking off today’s run of spooky screens, here’s a #teletext scene by @andyuglifruit of a #skeleton clambering out of a #grave. There’s some unspoken symbolism baked in to the #tombstone – what started in 1492 and ended in 2020? Guesses below. This screen was included in the new MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGsQk7JgSTI/
Mistigram: before we get too embroiled in the contents of our new Halloween-y MIST1020 collection, we need to remind you – as announced in the second artpack in a row – that starting this Saturday we are hosting a Blender improvised computer art competition over the weekend, challenging participants to create creative work online from curated themes suggested by the creators! For full details, go check out https://ift.tt/3dNDfuA … and in the meantime, enjoy this creepy vintage #ansiart specimen about “ALIEN” / “MOON” / and “BASKETBALL” drawn by Blender innovators Warpus and Hennifer, from the 6th compo way back in 1996! https://instagr.am/p/CGqTfcjlQG2/
Mistigram: since this time last year, @horsenburger has taken up the use of a drawing tablet to make digital illustrations with more detail than any teletext screen could ever yield. Here’s his dense celebration of the original 1984 #ghostbusters movie! This piece was included in the new MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGpZL-ZHZDE/
Mistigram: @BlippyPixel knows just how to celebrate Halloween, and it will come as no surprise to any of you to discover that it involves high resolution graphics for the #BBCMicro. This piece was included in the new MIST1020 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGpYZ59HHVk/
Mistigram: a brief demonstration of the assorted tricks and treats awaiting computer art fans in the new Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection - seasonal subjects in #teletext, #pixelart, textmode art and beyond! https://instagr.am/p/CGnX7pnHC1i/
Mistigram: the parts have been lying on the table, stitched together for a week or so now, every day topped off with fresh bits and pieces, but it wasn’t until lightning struck tonight that our new Halloween-themed MIST1020 artpack collection came to life and busted its way out of our computer art laboratory! You can currently find the chilling artpack hosted in full at the @sixteen_colors website at https://ift.tt/35e89Zk , and we’ll have more links to share tomorrow. Thanks to @theoddfirecat for the ripping #jackolantern #ANSIart FILE_ID.DIZ! https://instagr.am/p/CGmKmKEHrRS/
Mistigram: @Horsenburger already paid tribute to #ChadwickBoseman in a tablet drawing, but he also drew a #teletext illustration of the recently deceased actor. This screen was included in last month’s movies-themed MIST0920 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGiLyVsBOMm/
Mistigram: and now for a brief peek into a regional cinema rarely acknowledged – here’s a #Lego pixelart portrait of #MaggieCheung as #SuLiZhen from Wong Kar-wai’s 2000 #InTheMoodForLove. This piece was made by @Farrell_Lego and included in last month’s film-themed MIST0920 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGiLiAoBcXz/
Mistigram: People can’t pass up drawing this screen and cracking this joke, and @carlos_teletextr isn’t made of stone. Here’s his #teletext take on #SeanConnery and the poster art to 1998’s #TheHuntForRedOctober. This screen was included in last month’s movies-themed MIST0920 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGiGTXmg5Wf/
Mistigram: A more innocuous variety of little friend (but arguably more insidious and harmful!), here’s an #ASCIIart portrait of Disney’s golden son #MickeyMouse, drawn by @XTComics and included in last month’s film-themed MIST0920 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CGiGCWEgpxt/
