BLNDR2024D/LDA-LSB

 Mistigram: we've taken a year off from running The Blender improvised computer art compo, but it's on again the weekend of Nov 14-15 -- not this weekend, but next. Traditionally run out of EFNet IRC channel #blender, participants privately offer topic suggestions, then a mixture of three topics is chosen and folks (not AIs) have 24 hours to cook up something incorporating elements of all three subjects. Winners bring glory on their crews! (When we went on hiatus, activity was way down, so your odds of placing are decent!) This attached #ANSIart specimen of #LockShockAndBarrel from #TheNightmareBeforeChristmas handily won BLNDR2024D two years ago this month, LDA's seasonal take on "masked children" / "terrorism" / "circus". If you're curious or intrigued, further historical details are laid out at https://mistigris.org/blender/blend.html

MIST1026/MOZZ-CAT_AND_PUMPKIN

 Mistigram: this charming monochrome #ASCIIart illustration of a cat sitting beside a jolly #jackolantern is part of a whole suite of seasonal screens whipped up by Mozz, some of which were included in the spooky new MIST1026 artpack collection.

GALZA-22/US-MASKS

 Mistigram: for #GuyFawkesNight, here is a #blockASCII / #ANSIart tribute to #Anonymous (wearing a #GuyFawkes mask) drawn by Otium of Galza in 2014. He reached out to Cthulu at that time to come out of deep artscene retirement and grace it with a lit and they wound up working on several pieces together in that year's GALZA-22 artpack collection. (Cthulu then resolved to revive Mistigris, and here we are!)

MIST1026/MC_FRESHER-GOATED

 Mistigram: Of all the pieces of occult imagery in Stanislas de Guaita's 1897 La Clef de la Magie Noire, the caprine face in the inverted pentagram, the sigil of Baphomet, is the greatest of all time. This micro #Unicode #ASCIIart image was drawn by @mc.fresher and included in the spooky new MIST1026 artpack collection.

MIST1026/ATONALOSPREY-REPO_MAN

 Mistigram: A highway patrolman gets a retrettably experiential answer to his question "What you got in the trunk?" in this memorable moment from Alex Cox's 1984 #RepoMan, drawn in #teletext by @AtonalOsprey. This screen was included in the spooky new MIST1026 artpack collection.

MIST1026/BLIPPYPIXEL-RUSH_HOUR

 Mistigram: this #BBCMicro high resolution screen (animated where .GIFs are accepted!), titled "Rush Hour", depicts a busy #witch going about her rounds on her zippy broomstick. It was drawn by @blippypixel and included in the spooky new MIST1026 artpack collection.

MIST1026/ILLARTERATE-BAD4U

 Mistigram: this bad-to-the-bone #teletext screen was drawn by @illarterate in the style of da share z0ne posts. It was included in the spooky new MIST1026 artpack collection. If it sucks... hit da bricks!!!!
