MIST0525 mosaic

 Mistigram: here's a sampling of some of the wide variety of out-of-this-world computer art forms and subjects represented in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection, including #ANSIart, #ASCIIart, #teletext and more!

IGNITE01/KM-8CALV

 Mistigram: though we mostly focus on releasing science fiction-themed art in May, due to the interests of its mastermind, @kirkman, who provided most of its showpieces, there was quite a bit of it in the IGNITE01 collection of multimedia #AtariST #IGS (#InstantGraphicsAndSound) works we shared last year on New Year's Eve. Because scientific progress goes "boink", this one is a tribute to Bill Watterson's beloved #CalvinAndHobbes comic strip.

MIST0524/NI-RCANT

 Mistigram: this desaturated small-scale #ANSIart illustration by Nitron, celebrating a 2015 episode, #RememberTheCant, of the SyFy series #TheExpanse, was included in last year's SF-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

MIST0523/BLIPPYPIXEL-COMPLY

 Mistigram: every year since 2018, we've shared a collection of science fiction-inspired computer art in May. We haven't quite gotten around to it yet this year, but there are still a few days left! This @blippypixel #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen, "Comply", was included in last year's MIST0523 artpack collection.

IMBIBE01/NI-BDFEV

 Mistigram: this recursive #ANSIart #StillLife ("a painting of a bowl of fruit") was drawn by Nitron and included in the art gallery portion of our recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

IMBIBE01/DOSDOC-FGTOMATOES

 Mistigram: when @Dosdoc got wind that we were planning the IMBIBE01 electronic magazine, he scoured his shelves for suitably food-themed literature to adapt into #ANSIart, as per his unique art practice, which brought us this conversion of #WendellMinor's cover art to Fannie Flagg's 1987 novel #FriedGreenTomatoesAtTheWhistlestopCafe.

IMBIBE01/HF-IMBIBE

 Mistigram: this one has a fun history -- Happyfish drew this crunchy little #ANSIart logo for the food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine back in its first wind just before the turn of the century, fully unaware it would wait a further quarter-century before being seen and enjoyed by any other living soul. But Bugs Bunny would testify: delicious and nutritious, it was well worth the wait, doc.

DARK0597/YT-TT1.RIP

 Mistigram: This #RIPscrip vector illustration, advertising watOr's BBS toOns town, was drawn by Neophyte for our Mistigris World Tour stop visiting Dark Illustrated in the DARK0597 artpack collection, released 28 years ago this month.

M-9805-A/MR-LOGOSA

 Mistigram: this very organic #ANSIart logo for Rage's BBS Neosporin was drawn by Mr. Wrong and included in our M-9805 artpack collection released 27 years ago this month.

DARK0597/DS-0597A

 Mistigram: dwelling a little longer on our Mistigris World Tour stop in DARK0597, here's a newschool #ASCIIart logo for Entropy (well, "E" at least) drawn by Dead Soul.

DARK0597/MASK-05

 

Mistigram: to cleanse the palate a bit, here's some mysteriously glowing ooze... (How refreshing!) 28 years ago this month, the Mistigris World Tour collectively made guest appearances with our Ontarian artscene colleagues in Dark Illustrated. Here's an #ANSIart logo from DARK0597, a collaboration between our Neophyte and their Discofunk 1974.

IMBIBE01/LITTLEBITSPACE-TEA_IS_ETERNAL

 Mistigram: in all the beverage discourse this week, we have overlooked one of the all-time classics. @littlebitspace represents here again with this bird's eye #asciiart representation of a Japanese #tea ceremony service. This piece, titled "Tea Is Eternal", was included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

IMBIBE01/SE-YUM

 Mistigram: assuming you've recovered from the mega hangover resulting from the consumption of all that wine, the strong coffee and the swamp water slurry of soda pop, Sentience comes to the rescue with a recipe for a nootropic smart drink smoothie, direct from a '90s rave! This was included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

IMBIBE01/JONINSCII-COFFEE

 Mistigram: while we're covering beverages, here's @Joninscii's self-drinking #ASCIIart #coffee cup to get your week started!  This was included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

IMBIBE01/BLIPPYPIXEL-GLUG_DOWN

Mistigram: if the Cola Wars discourse makes you feel like a madman, why not have a drink like someone absolutely deranged, and enjoy a bottle of red wine served in a glass? Truly my cup runneth over. This #teletext animation was made by @blippypixel and included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.
 

IMBIBE01/CODEFENIX-MTDEW_LOGO

 Mistigram: a masked fighter is climbing into the Cola Wars ring... and it's #MountainDew, drawn in #ANSIart by @Codefenix of Constructive Chaos BBS, testifying on behalf of his BBS's many late-night callers.  This screen was included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

IMBIBE01/BLIPPYPIXEL-COKE_IS_IT

 Mistigram: I'm sorry, I posted the Pepsi logo yesterday and ... well, the #ColaWars are back on, it seems. Prepare yourselves for caffeine overdose and tooth decay. This #teletext portrait of a classic #CocaCola can was drawn by @blippypixel and included with the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

IMBIBE01/CODEFENIX-PEPSI_LOGO

 Mistigram: the choice of a new generation! This newschool #ASCIIart rendition of the #Pepsi Cola logo was drawn by Codefenix and included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

IMBIBE01/COOK

 Mistigram: Lupo the Butcher's recipe for #SexInAPan originated from 1993's #Spoon tfile ezine, and was coloured (in the process revealing for the first time in 32 years that the header art depicted a meat cleaver!) and reprinted in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

IMBIBE01/CODEFENIX-TACO_NIGHT

 Mistigram: we've been waiting a couple of months to remember this muy caliente piece on this specific day of the week, but at long last everything is in place, so please enjoy with me Codefenix's #ANSIart celebration of Mexican food for #TacoTuesday tonight! This piece was included in the art gallery of the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

MIST0522/BLIPPYPIXEL-CAN

 Mistigram: This #BBCMicro high resolution graphics portrait of #Yoda stewing in #TheForce was drawn by @Blippypixel and included in the science fiction-themed MIST0522 artpack collection, released three years ago. Happy #RevengeOfThe5th!

MIST0525/CODEFENIX-MAY4TH

 Mistigram: @Codefenix drew this #ANSIart #TIEFighter as part of a celebration of today's obligatory nerdy observance.  For the full treatment in a galaxy far, far away, visit Constructive Chaos BBS or stay tuned for the upcoming SF-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.  #MayThe4thBeWithYou always!

IMBIBE01/MOZZ-LIFE_SIZED_FOOD

 Mistigram: this scene from #JackAndTheBeanstalk, portraying the tiny Englishman clambering over enormous food items in the giant's larder, was drawn in #ASCIIart by Mozz and included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

IMBIBE01/LDA-MENU6ART

 Mistigram: this cute little #ANSIart gang, drawn by LDA, looks like they're about to start singing in harmony like a sweet bowl full of fruity Muppets, but if they have anything to share with us they're doing it silently. They acted as a menu icon to usher in the way to the "art gallery" section in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 e-mag.
