Mistigram: this quote from #Jiji of #StudioGhibli’s 1989 #KikisDeliveryService, illustrated in #ANSIart by andyh, served well to conclude both the infofile of the cat-themed MIST0322 artpack collection that he precipitated and our organized posting of its contents. (RIP Phil Hartman!) https://instagr.am/p/Cc_kphYOSBK/
Mistigram: because Zylone didn’t use a wider canvas for this piece of #ANSIart #pixelart, we can’t demonstrate that #MexicanNyanCat, aka #TacoCat, leaves in his wake the green, white and red colours of the Mexican national flag instead of the more customary rainbow. Alas! This piece was included in the cat-themed MIST0322 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Cc_kNFwO6tH/
Mistigram: this happy gent is Burt, illustrated in #teletext by @jellica_______ and included in last month’s cat-themed MIST0322 artpack collection. Meow! https://instagr.am/p/Cc_j7aduhV3/

Mistigram: in the end, every cat, no matter how magnificent, winds up like this. #ASCIIart cat skull by @littlebitspace, from last month’s feline-themed MIST0322 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Cc8TTqdOcke/
Mistigram: the message atop our Moebius server (completelynonintegral.ca / mistifunk) originally read “let’s just jam, make some art!” but andyh subtly reached in and tweaked it in a way that has informed our entire past month of posts. These #ANSIart cats (and a bird to tempt them with by LDA) set the tone for everything that followed in last month’s cat-themed MIST0322 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Cc8S7__uylq/
Mistigram: if you don’t know #MrMittens, you may not be elite enough to surf the feline underground of cyberspace. This #ANSIart logo was drawn by PixelDud and included in last month’s cat-themed MIST0322 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Cc6JZ-IOiql/
Mistigram: going up! this #ANSIart #pixelart portrait of Nyan Cat’s colleague #BalloonCat was drawn by Zylone and included in last month’s cat-themed MIST0322 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Cc6JMjXukH-/
Mistigram: this minimalist #teletext portrait of “Pinkie” was drawn by @jellica_______ and included in last month’s cat-themed MIST0322 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Cc6I874O8Fj/
Mistigram: dogs, they just want to please their masters. But cats? Cats… are not like dogs. This #ANSIart illustration of #RIPNDIP’s provocative mascot #LordNermal was drawn by LDA and included in last month’s cat-themed MIST0322 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Cc6IxX0ubqN/

Mistigram: from the desk of @atonalosprey comes this memorial #teletext portrait of Jemima: a good cat. This screen was included in last month’s cat-themed MIST0322 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Cc3qua8BTPY/

Mistigram: Cthulu unsuccessfully tried to draw a patented #BKliban #Catcalendar cat in #ansiart for the comics-themed MIST0720 artpack collection, but it didn’t come together until this double-wide greyscale cosmic kitty got cooked up for last month’s cat-themed MIST0322 release. (One wag remarked: “It looks like my mom’s kitchen!” Perfect…) https://instagr.am/p/Cc1Hxxvh9ny/
Mistigram: Alice - “I just wanted to ask which way I ought to go.”
#CheshireCat - “Well, that depends on where you want to get to.”
A: “Oh, it really doesn’t matter as long as I–”
CC: “Then it really doesn’t matter which way you go.”
This #teletext portrait of the disappearing cat from Disney’s 1951 animated adaptation of #AliceInWonderland was drawn by @Horsenburger and included in the cat-themed MIST0322 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Cc1Hd84hvQx/
Mistigram: Zylone really got into the feline headspace for last month’s cat-themed MIST0322 artpack collection, exploring just what kind of elite #ANSIart logos cats might draw, were they to do such things. “Purrr” (with the three “r"s) is likely the cat translation of "elite”. https://instagr.am/p/Cc1GWjthvTy/
Mistigram: here’s another feline drawing by @starstew, featuring a pair of cat dancers from his sketchbook, performing the “kitty dance”. This piece was included in the cat-themed MIST1319 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Ccyrd28gdUs/

Mistigram: panel 3 - “#Garfield!”. But it is too late, Jon Arbuckle, your cat is puffing away at your tobacco pipe. This #teletext screen was drawn by @illarterate and included in our new cat-themed MIST0322 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CcBdMT6vqge/
Mistigram: panel 2 - #Garfield continues his explorations, now rendered as #Lego brick #pixelart by @lego48x48. This piece was included in our comics-themed MIST0720 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CcBc33MOkQb/

Mistigram: Cthulu thought back to his favorite cats of his 1980s youth when drawing this #ANSIart tribute to #BillTheCat, from #BerkeBreathed’s #BloomCounty. (The oddly-familiar logo adapts a renowned design Lord Jazz used for ACiD.) This piece was included in the new cat-themed MIST0322 artpack collection. #ackthppt! https://instagr.am/p/Cb-8-eZPj_O/
Mistigram: these stylized cats are recurring characters in @starstew’s sketchbooks. They appeared in our previous cat-themed MIST1319 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Cb9clj8O6fw/
Mistigram: one small step for cats, one giant pounce for cat-kind. This #asciiart cat #astronaut (catstronaut?), the “Cosmic Kitten”, was drawn by @littlebitspace and included in the new MIST0322 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Cb8kzyMvMb_/
Mistigram: a direction we might have chosen for April and our traditional April Fool’s release is internet memes, a source of real and genuine hilarity to millions, but we chose instead to focus on our cat-themed MIST0322 artpack instead. However, this #BusinessCat #ANSIart screen by LDA suggests that you don’t always have to choose between them. https://instagr.am/p/Cb8kcJuvgjT/
Mistigram: sorry to interrupt our artpack launch there for April Fool’s - but the intensely catty MIST0322 has been released for a couple of days now and we have many cats to share with you all. Here’s a brief sampling, in #ANSIart, #asciiart, #teletext and more, featuring famous cats from pop culture and unknown cats who are intensely meaningful to the artists. Meow! https://instagr.am/p/Cb3BxKCPXxf/
Mistigram: OK, April Fool’s is behind us now, but I didn’t get a chance to share this one yesterday and NFTs will be even less funny this time next year so I’d better catch up. @littlebitspace explores the field of “valuable” algorithmically-varied pseudo-random generated art in this conceptual animated series of #ASCIIart portraits, “a collection of unusable stamps”.
Mistigram: viral memes are fun and all, but at this point it seems clear that the future of computer art is in crypto. @horsenburger boldly points the way forward with a #teletext image from his Scam Monkey Yogurt Organization collection, a suite of NANFT (Not A NOn Fungible Token) images. https://instagr.am/p/Cb0p682PnRl/
Mistigram: artpacks are fun, but we believe that the future of underground computer art is in going viral with memes. @littlebitspace demonstrates this bold new pivot with his #asciiart adaptation of the #GrusPlan meme from #DespicableMe. What could possibly go wrong? https://instagr.am/p/Cb0pRXkPbjq/
