MIST0826/DARKMAN_ALMIGHTY-RICKS

 Mistigram: Rick has been running one BBS or another for 40 years now, a milestone celebrated by fellow SysOp Darkman Almighty in this #ANSIart screen of a desktop computer that might well have been there at the start of his spree. (We urge the caller to find a different coaster, however! Apparently there are WinXP boxes with built-in cupholders!) This piece was included in last month's unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/ATONALOSPREY-HAND

 Mistigram: some minimalist artforms are primarily concerned with outlines, others with the use of negative space. Somewhere in between is this monochrome approach, in the vein of the #BitmapBrothers ' memorable logo, drawn in #teletext by @atonalosprey. This screen was included in last month's unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/DAROKIN-DISKMAGS_ARE_RAD_00

 Mistigram: this #blockASCII logo for the recursively radical 'Diskmags Are Rad' diskmag was drawn by @darokin and included in last month's unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/TELETEXTR-BINFACE

 Mistigram: #CountBinface, since making the revival of Ceefax one of his campaign pledges, has been beloved of the #teletext community, and they were prepared to endorse him this summer as he ran as the protest candidate against Nigel Farage in the parliamentary constituency of Clacton. He didn't win the seat, but his 2nd place ranking with over a quarter of the votes tallied rates him as the most successful novelty candidate in UK political history. This screen, drawn by TeletextR, was included in last month's unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/CODEFENIX-BONSAI

 Mistigram: #ANSIart and #bonsai, both aesthetically beholden to severe constraints, might have more in common than you expected! @codefenix_cc drew this ANSI illusrtation of a tiny tree and included it in last month's unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/LITTLEBITSPACE-UNDER_THE_SPELL

 Mistigram: it's always a good moment for a little textmode #surrealism! This monochrome screen, "Under the Spell", was drawn by @littlebitspace and won 3rd place in in 2025's @flashparty.ar #PETSCII compo, almost a year ago. It was also just included in the unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/US-WELCOME_TO_THE_NOUSNIVERSE

 Mistigram: this pseudoreflective logo was submitted as monochrome #pixelart by @nouscentric, but Cthulu thought it could be easily adapted to textmode and given a #LiteBrite colour treatment for extra punch, so we ran it like this in last month's unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/ATONALOSPREY-MITCH_MCCONNELL

 Mistigram: like the groundhog emerging from his storied hole, everyone is excited to once again catch a rare glimpse of #MitchMcConnell's profoundly furrowed neck, here illustrated in #teletext by @atonalosprey for reasons that can only be chalked up to the stark randomness of the Muse. It was included in the recent unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/AXB-SHARK_JAWS

 Mistigram: Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water... This #blockASCII (uncoloured #ANSIart) illustration of #shark #jaws was drawn by @axbmusic and included in last month's new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/MOZZ-CANNONBALL

 Mistigram: this monochrome #ASCIIart adaptation of #MarkMaggiori's 2025 painting "Arizona Cannonball" was drawn by mozz and included in the new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/VILER-TDC24b

Mistigram: for this year's 24th edition of the #TotalDOSCollection, VileR drew an #ANSIart scroller entirely concerned with time, as explored in classic computer games. This is a small excerpt of it, adapting #EricChahi's introductory graphics work in Delphine Software's 1989 #FutureWars. This piece was included in the new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/BLIPPYPIXEL-SEPTEMBER

 Mistigram: this @blippypixel #BBCMicro hirez graphics landscape (GIF animated where supported!) is titled "September", depicting the leaves of autumn trees doing that which gives the season its alternate name. It was included in the new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/ZII-ANMU5

 Mistigram: this #ANSIart portrait of Studio Ghibli's #PrincessMononoke was drawn by @zeusii and included in a colly of similar small works (presumably for use on the anime-themed Shurato's Heavenly Sphere BBS) in the new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/TGH-CW_VS_PA

 

Mistigram: this is batty #pixelart cover artwork for a chiptune single by The Green Herring, who sends a lot of art our way and is now boldly blazing a trail into the realm of computer music, also!  You can find out more about the art and the song it adorns via https://thegreenherring.art/music/2026/CW_VS_PA

It was included as part of the new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/ATONALOSPREY-INSTAGRAM_GIRL

 Mistigram: traditionally #teletext and #ASCIIart have been largely separate realms, but as we here at Mistigris enjoy cross-pollination, these kinds of things have a way of finding each other in our sphere.  @AtonalOsprey drew this 'Instagram girl' (more of a type, I suspect, than an actual anonymised subject) in the newschool #ASCIIart style within the teletext medium.  This screen was included in our new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/J33P33-ANSI-GAMER-GIRL-NORE-BBS

 Mistigram: one of the biggest happy surprises of the new MIST0826 artpack collection is our including new work by j33p33, who has been MIA, computer art-wise, for the past six years. This #ANSIart gamer girl is part of a promo scroller for Nore BBS, which you should be able to telnet to via vetromac.dyndns-ip.com:232

MIST0826 ANSI art mosaic

 Mistigram: and people are always especially curious how we're holding up on the #ANSIart end of things. Well, a number of artists have drawn a lot of it, in many different styles and on widely varied subjects... Here's a sampling of what's on offer in the new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection!
