MIST1023/HORSENBURGER-CORALINE_MOTHER1

 Mistigram: the original "other mommy", here's a button-eyed @horsenburger #teletext portrait of #theBeldam from Laika's 2009 #Coraline. This screen was included in the spooky MIST1023 artpack collection released three years ago this month.

MIST1024/PIZZATOE-AMY-QING_ZOMBIE

 Mistigram: Amy of Pizzatoe drew this #ASCIIart #Jiangshi (Chinese Qing dynasty #hoppingvampire) as a guest appearance in the spooky MIST1024 artpack collection released two years ago.  We hoped to repay the favour with Mist artists making guest appearances in the planned debut Pizzatoe release a year ago, but no one ever figured out how or why that one fell through.  On a still autumn night some say you can still hear them planning their artpack launch!

MIST1025/US-SHOEBODY

 Mistigram: this time last year, Cthulu was holed up in an agriturismo in rural Italy on a vacation, explaining to his family that while he had managed to duck responsibility for packaging the annual Mist Hallowe'en artpack for the first time in eleven years, that didn't relieve him of the duty to populate it with submissions... which is why when things got quiet after the magical Tuscan sunset, he could be found drawing colourful variations of the phrase #ShoebodyBop on his laptop. Sometimes you just have to love your family members unconditionally because no explanation will really suffice to understand what the heck they're up to.

The words look gnarly, but the words themselves aren't. WTF is up here? Cth was very taken by #DrueLanglois' 2022 demonic baptismal animation set to the song of the same name by the Minute Hour. He had roughed out a sketch from it depicting a cultist invokation which LDA and Zeus II later fleshed out taken in a very different direction. (Originally he had planned to depict a series of iconic moments from the music video, punctuated with permutations on its strange name, but Italy rudely interrupted this aspiration with a series of historical hilltop distractions.)

Maybe we'll see more Shoebody moments later this month, but this introductory portion was included in the MIST1025 artpack collection released a year ago.

MIST1025/HORSENBURGER-DRACULA

 Mistigram: this monochrome #teletext portrait of #BelaLugosi in Universal's 1931 #Dracula movie was drawn by @horsenburger. It was included in the spooky MIST1025 artpack collection released one year ago this month. "There are far worse things awaiting man than death."

MIST1024/DARKMAN_ALMIGHTY-GHOST-MACHINE-SWIRL

 Mistigram: this hypnotic Twilight Zone-ish greyscale #ANSIart screen, "Ghost Machine Swirl", was drawn by Darkman Almighty and included in the spooky MIST1024 artpack collection released two years ago this month. Are you the ghost? Are you in the machine, or is it in you?

MIST1023/ATONALOSPREY-SKULL_3_4_PROFILE

 Mistigram: this detailed monochrome #teletext skull was drawn by @atonalosprey (surely in some kind of conversation with bonemeister littlebitspace!) and included in the spooky MIST1023 artpack collection released three years ago this month.

MIST1022/MIST1022.NFO.6

 Mistigram: this creepy little skeletal pirate dude was adapted to #ANSIart by DW of Dark Systems BBS, and we included it as an infofile illustration in the spooky MIST1022 artpack collection released four years ago this month.

MIST1021/BNJMNBRGMN-THE_THINGS_IN_THE_WALLS

 Mistigram: "Things in the Walls" is a Lovecraftian #PETSCII illustration drawn by @bnjmnbrgmn (aka Bema), included in the spooky MIST1021 artpack collection and also in the #Commodore64 "The Nameless PETSCII" slideshow released the following month.

MIST1020/BLIPPYPIXEL-WITCHING_HOUR

 Mistigram: this #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen, "Witching Hour", was drawn by @blippypixel and included in the spooky MIST1020 artpack collection released six years ago this month.

MIST1019/XTCOMICS-COSTUMES

 Mistigram: you might feel like a turd discovering that someone else at the costume party has the same costume as the one you thought would be very unique and original on you, but doubly so when your shared costume is literally the dookie emoji! This seasonal #ASCIIart comic strip, drawn by XTComics (now @earl.types.art), was included in the MIST1019 artpack collection released seven years ago this month.

MIST1018/STEPHANREWIND-THE_OMEN

 Mistigram: these micro #pixelart portraits of Harvey Spencer Stephens as juvenile Antichrist ("It's not a child") #DamienThorn, from Richard Donner's 1976 movie #TheOmen, were drawn by @stephanrewind and included in the MIST1018 artpack collection released 8 years ago this month.

MIST1017/HORSENBURGER-NEAR_DARK-SEVEREN

 Mistigram: "Hey. You look like 40 miles of rough road!" This #teletext portrait of the late #BillPaxton as vampire biker #Severen from the 1987 movie #NearDark was drawn by @horsenburger and included in the spooky MIST1017 artpack collection released nine years ago this month.

MIST0826/AXB-DAVINCI

 Mistigram: #LeonardoDaVinci, the original Renaissance man, who created the Mona Lisa and invented the helicopter, is here drawn in newschool #ASCIIart by @axbmusic. This portrait was included in last month's unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/ATONALOSPREY-CONTENT_PILLS_VITAMIN_C

 Mistigram: if you haven't yet enjoyed today's dose of ＣＯＮＴＥＮＴover social media, @atonalosprey is here to remedy this lack with his #teletext dispensation, now conveniently packaged in capsule form! This screen was included in last month's unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/CT-DIGITAL_ORCA

 Mistigram: in last month's unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection, Cthulu was explicitly looking to adapt imagery suggestive of Mist's origins in area code 604 (aka #Vancouver) and one place his search brought him was artist-author #DouglasCoupland's 2009 sculpture #DigitalOrca, installed in #CoalHarbour. In real life the killer whale is composed of black and white blocks, and ironically looks quite a bit more like #ANSIart in person than this rendition indicates.

Though the sculpture is located in the Downtown previously viewed from afar in Nitron's landscape yesterday, you will note that (coincidentally) the specific stretch of North Shore Mountains depicted in the far background is virtually identical in both works and can practically be made to overlap each other.

MIST0826/NI-KITSB

 Mistigram: Nitron visited area code 604, traditional stomping grounds of Mistigris, over the summer, and was moved to draw this view of Downtown Vancouver's West End (and the North Shore mountains behind it) across False Creek from Kits Beach on a forest fire smoky day. This hazy scene was included in last month's unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/ILLARTERATE-CROISSANT

 Mistigram: this screen may not look that intrinsically political to you, but @illarterate has here illustrated one of the planks of #CountBinface's recent campaign against Nigel Farage in Clacton, capping the temperature and price at which croissants are served and sold. Confusing and delicious! It tied for first place (with TeletextR's recently-shared "Bindependence" screen) in the #teletext compo at Ledbury's Field-FX demoparty this past summer, and was included in last month's unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/MM-KONSTANTIN

 Mistigram: I'm not exactly sure what this #ANSIart screen by @Mavenmob depicts, but I know that his works are often informed by music, so ... this just might be Mother Love Bone caught in the act of inventing grunge! This piece was included in last month's unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

MIST0826/BLIPPYPIXEL-RAINBOW_CHASER

 

Mistigram: if you've ever felt a little confused by the mixed weather during the turn of the seasons, @blippypixel has you covered with this #BBCMicro hirez screen of a #rainbow struggling to emerge through the murky moist miasma pervading a park. This piece was included in last month's unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

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.
