MIST0721/BLIPPYPIXEL-VALUE

 Mistigram: to cleanse the palate of AI discourse, here's a monochrome #teletext statement by @blippypixel (which you can interpret for yourself) about #NFT "art" included in the MIST0721 artpack collection released five years ago this month.

MIST0526/US-GO_STICK_YOUR_HEAD_IN_A_PIG

 Mistigram: @zeusii drew this stone cold #ANSIart silhouette of an alien city skyline beneath a gas giant and a tear in the sky... the suggestion of a logo footer in an extra-terrestrial language was reminiscent of a passage in the #HitchhikersGuide about the Complaints Division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation about a large neon sign celebrating their slogan #ShareAndEnjoy degrading into a very different message... well, Cthulu adapted the Narcotix typeface by the Sokratype foundry to give this piece a feeling of illegible alien script. The joint was included in the recent science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/TGH-WATS

 Mistigram: I told you, it's just the nighttime wind blowing on our little cabin in the middle of nowhere, but if it makes you feel better I'll go check outside one more time. This #ANSIart screen, "What's this?", was 3/4 speed-drawn by The Green Herring in 61 minutes during a Twitch livestream, and was included in the recent science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/CT-MIRRORSHADES

Mistigram: still with the books-themed MIST0426 on the brain, Cthulu recently stumbled across a copy of #BruceSterling's seminal #Mirrorshades #cyberpunk anthology in a used bookstore, and took it as a sign from The Algorithm to adapt its evocative cover artwork to #ANSIart for the recent science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0717/ILLARTERATE-BUCKETHEAD17_2

Mistigram: plus ça change... today Count Binface is campaigning against Nigel Farage in Clacton, but nine years ago it was his predecessor #LordBuckethead running against Theresa May in Maidenhead. One item on his manifesto was the return of Ceefax, so #teletext artists, in this case @illarterate, were only too keen to boost his campaign. This screen was included in the MIST0717 artpack collection released nine years ago this month.

MIST0526/DARKMAN_ALMIGHTY-TRIP_TUCKER

 Mistigram: some of us explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations... for Darkman Almighty, the science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection was an opportunity to draw #ANSIart of a character from a #StarTrek franchise he had not yet tapped. This is a portrait of actor #ConnorTrinneer, playing Charles #TripTucker III in #Enterprise. #WhereNoDogHasGoneBefore

MIST0526/ZII-THUG

 Mistodon: this badass extra-wide #ANSIart promo for Godfather's extra-wide The Underground BBS was drawn by Zeus II and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection. (The power armour worn by the bounty hunter on the right renders the scene eligible for the theme!)
