Mistigram: it’s the end of March and we have an artpack for you. “Mistigris” means “alleycat” and true to our name, for the second time we have an entire artpack ready to share with you, entirely concerned with all matters feline. Keep your eyes open for MIST0322 in the usual places, and after a little folly tomorrow the cat herding will begin in earnest. FILE_ID.DIZ by Zeus II, coloured by LDA. https://instagr.am/p/Cby5gfmuvcK/
Mistigram: one of the cental applications for #textmode art in the computer underground, LDA has minted this infofile template for use by the #GoodTimes crew to beat Spotify at its own game. This piece was included in last month’s unthemed MIST0222 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CbdXesNgn11/
Mistigram: “Declared ‘anyone’ before knowing I was already someone / I wasn’t really mine until I was no one”. This #asciiart poem was made by @vermileonhart and included in last month’s MIST0222 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CbdXAdnOqgG/
Mistigram: this #teletext close-up on a #zebra’s face was drawn by @atonalosprey and included in last month’s unthemed MIST0222 artpack collection, helping us to fulfil our duties of representing topics from A to Z. https://instagr.am/p/CbdWd1zODTI/
Mistigram: @AdelFaure’s uncoloured #ASCIIart adaptation of #VincentVanGogh’s 1888 painting “La Chambre à Arles”, depicting van Gogh’s bedroom in the Yellow House at 2, Place Lamartine in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France… was included in last month’s MIST0222 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CbdWK6Hu6ZR/
Mistigram: are you ready for the return to the office? We just shared this animated #ASCIIart piece by @joninscii last month, calling it “Omicron”, and already that variant is but a pleasant hazy memory, since supplanted by the aggressive BA.2. All the same, mask mandates, vaccine passports and working from home are being rolled back across the land, so … don’t forget to pack your facemask and maybe some SCUBA gear! This piece was included in last month’s MIST0222 artpack collection.
Mistigram: heeeeeere’s #Mario! Concluding our #MAR10 celebrations this year we share with you @minediru’s awesome and bizarre #pixelart conflation of #SuperMario with #JackTorrance from Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 movie #TheShining. This piece was included in our video games-themed MIST0921 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Ca8RRUbBJ8z/
Mistigram: this #teletext portrait of a #ShyGuy, from 1988’s #SuperMario2, was drawn by @Horsenburger and included in the video games-themed MIST0919 artpack collection. Happy #MAR10! https://instagr.am/p/Ca8Q3oQhOwA/
Mistigram: here’s hoping your #MAR10 takes you to the highest heights, much as the #MagicCape took #Mario to blue skies in 1990’s #SuperMarioWorld for the SNES. This #Lego #pixelart rendition of his flying sprite was made by @lego48x48 and included in the video games-themed MIST0919 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Ca8Qq3yBo3u/
Mistigram: Nintendo games would be pretty dire if it was all Mario all the time, so even today on #MAR10 we need to celebrate some of his colleagues and counterparts. Here is a #teletext portrait of his … sinister, yet oddly arousing meta-reflection, #Waluigi. This screen was drawn by @horsenburger and included in our video games-themed MIST0919 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Ca8QNr3hA_y/
Mistigram: @dyscotopia celebrates #MAR10 a little differently from everyone else, with a self-guided psychedelic voyage of inner exploration leading straight to Minusland, inspired by Nintendo’s most celebrated pill-pusher, the pharmacist #DrMario. This piece was included in our video games-themed MIST0919 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Ca8MQi8Bdug/
Mistigram: In honor of March 10th – or #MAR10 – hey, paisanos, it’s the #SuperMarioBrosSuperShow! This #teletext portrait of pro wrestler #CaptainLouAlbano as Nintendo’s video game hero #Mario was drawn by @illarterate and included in our video games-themed MIST0921 artpack collection. #swingyourarmsfromsidetoside … c'mon, it’s time to go. Do the Mario! https://instagr.am/p/Ca77boyhzx8/
Mistigram: “What do you fear, lady” he asked. “A cage”, she said.
This #PETSCII vignette is the handiwork of the amazing @dwimmer.tm! It was included in the new MIST0222 artpack collection. Happy #IWD! https://instagr.am/p/Ca2kM-OP-hX/
Mistigram: “Hard-coded faultiness, never-ending emptiness” … moody Mist lit never had anything on this floral #ASCIIart piece by @vermileonhart! This piece was included in the new MIST0222 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Cas93q_uwgv/
Mistigram: sometimes, despite ourselves, we keep it real! #ANSIart remembers its roots, and absolutely the medium’s greatest ubiquitous flourishing was back in the ‘90s, in BBS land. This Zeus II logo was included in the new MIST0222 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Cas64AeuQQy/
Mistigris: here’s a sampling of some of the varied subjects, styles, formats and approaches of computer art explored in the new MIST0222 artpack collection: #ansiart, #asciiart, #teletext screens and a little extra! https://instagr.am/p/Calf5Rhr5iY/
Mistigram: now it is March. But less than 24 hours ago, in most jurisdictions, it was still February! And in the closing minutes of February, we eked out a new unthemed artpack of unreleased and uncollected art, our first release this year and our first such broad sweep of the net since last July! February was full of a lot of things – Black History Month, Valentine’s Day, the Omicron variant and the invasion of Ukraine. You’ll find all that and more in this collection, which you can view at the @sixteen_colors gallery or download for local enjoyment (including MP3s and MP4s not supported elsewhere) via
