MIST0920/HORSENBURGER-TOTORO_UMBRELLA
Mistigram: ChatGPT users are paying money to generate degraded #StudioGhibli imagery while our skilled craftsmen are manually adapting the real McCoy and giving it away for free.

MIST0920/FARRELL_LEGO-PRINCESS_MONONOKE
Mistigram: continuing our spree of celebrating #StudioGhibli creations for no immediately apparent reason, here's a #Lego #pixelart portrait of #San aka #MononokeHime from #PrincessMononoke, built by @farrell_lego and included in the film-themed MIST0920 artpack collection released five years ago.
MIST0920/HORSENBURGER-PORCO_ROSSO

Here's a #teletext picture of #PorcoRosso after a fight, drawn by @horsenburger. This piece was included in the film-themed MIST0920 artpack collection released five years ago.
MIST0920/EMME_DOBLE-PONYO_TEA

MIST1116/DIANE_SMITHERS-AIRPLANE
Mistigram: Photographer @DianeSmithers never really understood what we were up to with artpacks (not the only one, I'm sure), framing our project as a species of 'visual art database' (well, she wasn't wrong!), but when I put out a call for submissions to my extensive community of colleagues from decades organizing real-world art events, she didn't let that bafflement stop her from throwing her hat in the ring and sharing some of her art photos with our online audiences. Her involvement with us doesn't rate even a footnote in her CV of incredible arts photography, but as everyone in Vancouver's live music and dance performance communities is taking a moment to process her sudden and unexpected departure, we also must acknowledge our brief time spent working with her. This photograph was included in the MIST1116 artpack collection released nine years ago.
