 Mistigram: sometimes we celebrate canonical classics established through the ages and sometimes, as in Ratatouille, we discover and defend the new.

If you have a strong interest in the subject and money is no object, you can purchase a copy today via https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4463637180/adventures-in-a-minor-order-insects This piece was included in last month's books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

MIST0426/MC_FRESHER-GOODNIGHT


 Mistigram: possibly a low-hanging-fruit gag by @mc.fresher , but it nonetheless strikes on one of the most extraordinary moments in #MargaretWiseBrown's essential 1947 children's book #GoodnightMoon, the moment in which the artist is charged with illustrating a negation.  This minimalist #ANSIart piece was included in last month's books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.
