Mistigram: @jellica_______’s #teletext landscape has been given the pedestrian title “Tree Next To A Stream”, which is at once completely true and … wholly inadequate. But it doesn’t matter what we call it, its fauvist colour palette will make you sit up and demand your attention.

The client’s account disappeared under mysterious circumstances, but the logo remains. This piece was included in this month’s MIST0721 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CR63-cIjcYs/

Mistigram: congratulations to Tainted and @hayn9 of @blocktronics for winning last weekend’s quarterly Blender improvised art competition with this #ansiart interpretation of the challenge topics “SHIBA INU / FROLICKING / PARALLEL DIMENSION”. The complete compo pack is now up and available for your perusal on the @sixteen_colors website, so you can see how other artists attempted to engage the same subjects!

Next Blender compo up Oct 16-17th! Mark it in your calendars! https://instagr.am/p/CR1rAXWLZEs/

Mistigram: as Olympics mania once again creeps across the world, @kurogao96 is well prepared, having minted a series of his distnictive #asciiart / #emoji screens celebrating different sports and athletic feats. This piece humorously takes on that ball-kicking game known variously as #soccer or #football. This screen was included in this month’s MIST0721 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CR1p7iosGhs/

Mistigram: timed to fall outside the purview of our science fiction and movies-themed artpacks, this new #ASCIIart scene by @dwimmer.tm bottles up an unforgettable and iconic high point from #AndreiTarkovsky’s 1979 film #Stalker (otherwise rendered in Cyrillic as #Сталкер). If you haven’t seen it yet, it would be pointless for me to attempt to explain what’s going on here. All you need to know is that it’s totally badass, and that dwimmer has done excellent work here!

Mistigram: it’s been some three-odd years since our paths last crossed with the #textmode art weirdo known as Lobo Spitoufs. In that time he’s moved from making mutant ANSI art for PCs to making mutant #PETSCII for Commodore computers. Here’s a double-sized screen he recently minted, celebrating the advent of the “Rat King”. This piece was included in the new MIST0721 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CRhAqLolBd-/

Mistigram: in past, we have relied - perhaps overly so - on “the slushpile” in the curation of our computer artpack collections… a vast pool of uncontributed art that we have been given blanket permission to reshare. We have been working over the past two years to move away from that curation paradigm in favour of artwork made by artists more integrated within our community of active contributors. And now, for no particular reason, you can enjoy this @horsenburger #teletext screen of the renowned #SlushPuppy – conpsicuously not the first time he has appeared in one of our collections – but surely signalling nothing more profound than a cool treat in the hot season.

Mistigram: what was alleged to be the final Break!ASCII artpack dropped last week.

Mistigram: in late elementary school I played homebrew tabletop and RPGs with John @chthonstone Metzger, who lived a block from school and had a complete set of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe to get the pump primed. I didn’t realise it at the time, but this was presumably because his father, #GeorgeMetzger, was a comics illustrator. (Well, a comix illustrator.) Growing up, I had somehow even wound up with a copy of his work – 1980’s final issue of his #Moondog, from #PrintMint / #LastGasp press.

As a kid, I really didn’t “get it” (part of childhood at that time was making the most of what you had available – eg. trying to make sense of my parents’ Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comix – unlike today’s bottomless subscription streams of your favorite media, on demand), but in its strangeness it still made its mark on my young psyche, such that 30 years later, when I was curating comics-themed computer art for last July’s MIST0720 artpack collection, I was drawn to reproduce that issue’s cover illustration as a deep cut, wild palette and all, in the #ANSIart medium – with a heavy assist by LDA on the details and colouring. https://instagr.am/p/CRCVgXmDarO/
