MIST0424/LDA-ARCH

Mistigram: this #ANSIart adaptation of the #Architecture illustrations of #HiroshiNagai was made by LDA for our recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.
 

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY18

 Mistigram: right this way, the interpreter is leading a guided tour starting in five minutes! Today is International #Museum Day, and ... I have no idea which celebrated museum AdeptApril has drawn in #ANSIart here. Surely the kind of ignorance that could be addressed... by visiting a museum!

MIST0424/JELLICA_JAKE-VICTORY_POINT

 Mistigram: #OwenPomery's #VictoryPoint is a graphic novel, and consequently falls a little outside the scope of our recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack, but this monochrome #teletext adaptation of its landscape cover art by Jellica Jake wound up being folded into the collection regardless.

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY17

 Mistigram: Weather's getting nice, why not enjoy a nice glass of wine? But not just _any_ wine: as AdeptApril demonstrates in this #ANSIart screen, today is #PinotGrigio day, rhymed by Loudon Wainwright in his song "White Winos" with "Just to get the glow".

MIST0424/LDN-CONNECTION_TERMINATED

Mistigram: tapping a rich vein of Western fine art, ASCII whiz Lord Nikon has used his mad #typewriterart skillz to richly frame this pastoral scene from nature with a pointed caption advising viewers to terminate their electronic connections and embark upon a #digitaldetox.  (Let's compromise: how about we use no technology newer than 1994?)  This piece was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY16

 Mistigram: don't look too closely, at risk of suffering permanent loss of vision, but here's an #ANSIart screen by AdeptApril celebrating the International Day of #Light today. (Why today? On today's date in 1960 physicist Theodore Maiman successfully fired the first #laser.)

MIST0424/ILLARTERATE-VIRUSTRUVIAN_MAN

 Mistigram: this #teletext screen by @illarterate reproduced #LeonardoDaVinci's #VitruvianMan illustration to comment on the recommendations for social distancing guidelines issued early on during the Covid-19 pandemic. This piece was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY15

 Mistigram: today's date marks the end of cold-weather felt hat season and the beginning of warm-weather #StrawHat season -- a changeover that led to riots in NYC way back in 1922! This #ANSIart screen by AdeptApril hopes to observe the occasion with less open conflict.

MIST0424/KUROGAO-ART

 Mistigram: in this two-panel #ASCIIart / #emoji comic strip, @kurogao96 explores the plight of the artist, striving to push the envelope without leaving their audience entirely behind. This comical piece was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY14

 Mistigram: well, bake my #ButtermilkBiscuits! No, really -- bake them! Why? Because today is their day. AdeptApril will get you up to speed with this persuasive #ANSIart screen.

MIST0424/ZXGUESSER-MONET-BRIDGE_OVER_A_POND_OF_WATER_LILIES

 

Mistigram: this #teletext adaptation of #ClaudeMonet's 1899 painting #BridgeOverAPondOfWaterLilies was made by @zxguesser and included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY13

 Mistigram: everything in moderation, I say. A day to celebrate the #tulip? Why not! But let's not go overboard like the Netherlands in the 17th century. This #ANSIart screen celebrating the colourful flowers was drawn by AdeptApril.

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY12

 Mistigram:

an #ANSIart screen shared today

touts limericks the 12th of May.

AdeptApril drew it

and now you know - to wit:

a lit gives your screen some cachet.

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY11

 Mistigram: as The Laughing Fool said in Concrete's Hacker's Nutritional Guide: "Eat. If you die, it means that you have either eaten too much or too little." Today AdeptApril uses #ANSIart to celebrate "Eat What You Want Day", which looks conspicuously like a collection of foods she had already drawn for other occasions. (But today: you eat them all together!)

MIST0424/KALCHA-HOKUSAI01C

 Mistigram: this #textart adaptation of #FineWindClearMorning (also simply called #RedFuji), one of #Hokusai's suite of #ThirtysixViewsOfMountFuji #ukiyoe prints made in the 1830s, was made by @kalchano in #ShiftJIS and included in the new fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY10

 Mistigram: the occasion observed today, #CleanUpYourRoom Day, might be in some tenuous way related to yesterday's memorial for lost socks. (Hint: they're under your bed!) This #ANSIart illustration by AdeptApril hammers the point home. (Well, the shelves are nice and clean!)

MIST0424/HORSENBURGER-HOPPER-NIGHTHAWKS

 Mistigram: you think the nocturnal denizens of #EdwardHopper's iconic 1942 painting #Nighthawks are alienated, if he made it today they'd all be on their phones, to boot!  This #teletext adaptation was made by @horsenburger and included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY09

 Mistigram: some people mourn over lost opportunity, or pine for lost love. Someone famously once said "What a waste it is to lose one's mind". But today we share a moment of silence in respect for Lost #Sock Memorial Day. AdeptApril has observed the occasion in #ANSIart.

MIST0424-LITTLEBITSPACE-_THINK

 Mistigram: Hmmm... here's some food for thought! This contemplative #ASCIIart adaptation of #TheThinker, the crowning element in #AugusteRodin's #GatesOfHell, was made by @littlebitspace and included in the new fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY08

 Mistirgam: Today is #RedCross / Red Crescent day, "dedicated to those suffering from natural disasters, armed conflicts, and other crises." One of those emblems is very straightforward to draw in #ANSIart, and thus AdeptApril has done so.

MIST0424/BLIPPYPIXEL-ARTIST

 

Mistigram: in the new fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection, @blippypixel pays tribute to a number of his favorite artists -- and here he is also paying homage to one of ours: himself! Here is the maestro, composing one of his trademark #BBCMicro cosmic vistas!

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY07

 Mistigram: today's special occasion includes specific instructions for how it is to be observed. I hope you have a martini glass at hand for this #cocktail to be served in, because AdeptApril's #ANSIart screen for today celebrates #Cosmopolitan day!

MIST0424/ATONALOSPREY-FRANZ_STUCK-DIE_SUNDE

 Mistigram: the artist @AtonalOsprey recalls seeing it "at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich some 20 years ago", and now you can enjoy it from the comfort of the device in your hand. The blocky #teletext medium denies you the option of zooming in to appreciate the finer details, but this is a reproduction of Symbolist #FranzStuck's unforgettable 1893 painting #DieSünde (Sin), depicting a large snake draped around a female nude. This screen was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY06

 Mistigram: if you've experienced medical treatment at any hospital, a #nurse certainly made a big difference in your outcome, so let's follow AdeptApril's lead with this #ANSIart screen and give it up for National Nurses Day!

MIST0522/BLIPPYPIXEL-DOOKU

 Mistigram: this glitchy #teletext portrait of the late #ChristopherLee as #CountDooku (aka #DarthTyranus) was drawn by @blippypixel and included in the MIST0522 artpack collection released two years ago this month.

"It is obvious that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge of the Force... but by our skills with a lightsaber."

#RevengeOfThe5th #StarWarsDay

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY05

 Mistigram: Some skeptics ask: "is #CincoDeMayo even a thing outside of Puebla?" Certainly! It makes for an excellent excuse to sell bottles of Corona to gringos all over the world! And if you're not convinced, AdeptApril has drawn this #ANSIart screen of un cactus mexicano to persuade you.

MIST0523/US-SEAGULLS

 

Mistigram: technically, this offbeat moment with the mystical green Muppet #Yoda is from 1980's the #EmpireStrikesBack, but it defines a whole new take on the character in Bad Lip Reading's 2016 #SeagullsStopItNow (which, if you haven't yet experienced it, you need to address immediately.)  This jointly-created #ANSIart screen from last year's MIST0523 was started by Cthulu and polished off by LDA.  

Hey, what's that stank? / (You put a fish in our basket!)
Ho ho ho ho yeah! / I forgot I did that
(You owe me an apology) / Just hold your breath and see
When the time is right / Birds will bite your face -- yea-ea-ea-ea-eah!

MIST0524/ATONALOSPREY-TATOOINE

 Mistigram: a silhouetted figure wanders a ways from the shelter of their moisture farm and considers the twin setting suns of #Tatooine in this #teletext landscape by @AtonalOsprey.

MIST0521-HORSENBURGER-MOFF_GIDEON

 Mistigram: this contemplative digital portrait of #GiancarloEsposito as #TheMandalorian's #MoffGideon was drawn by @horsenburger and included in the MIST0521 artpack collection released three years ago.

BLIPPYPIXEL-MAY_THE_MEMORY_STILL_BE_WITH_YOU

 Mistigram: long ago, in a cinema far away... in this #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen, @blippypixel remembers back to #StarWars' initial theatrical run back in 1977, when everything was hopelessly quaint and dated and the scene on the screen appeared to be impossibly futuristic.

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY04

 Mistigram: what, is there something else going on today? AdeptApril's calendar says it's #OrangeJuice day, so here's an #ANSIart screen celebrating that good source of vitamin C.

MIST0517-HORSENBURGER-ESCHER

 Mistigram: the nerd love for the #OpticalIllusion side of #MCEscher runs deep among computer artists, and here's a specimen of an #ImpossibleCube, as demonstrated in his 1958 lithograph #Belvedere, drawn by @horsenburger in #teletext. This screen was included in our MIST0517 artpack collection released seven years ago this month!
