MOZZ-01

 Mistigram: we can't take credit for it, but our #ASCIIart colleague Mozz has just tonight dropped a delightful solo artpack, MOZZ-01, entirely consisting of colour studies from nature (mostly of flowers.) Here is its FILE_ID! You can enjoy browsing it over the web right now courtesy of the @sixteen_colors gallery, though soon I expect it will also soon be available on Mozz's own mirror at https://ascii.mozz.us/textmode/pack/2026/

CODEFENIX-METROID_SAMUS_ZEROSUIT_R1

 Mistigram: this #ANSIart screen by @codefenix_cc has been patiently waiting a very long time for us to get around to releasing our next video games-themed artpack, but other themes somehow keep getting in the way. In the meantime, however, #Metroid turns 40 today, so we can't not share this portrait of #Samus in the #ZeroSuit! The galaxy is at peace.

MIST0822/VERMILEONHART-HEXED

 Mistigram: this moody, ominous #asciiart glyph, "Hexed", was drawn by @vermileonhart and included in the MIST0822 artpack collection released four years ago this month.

MIST0823/MIST0823.NFO-5

 Mistirgam: our unthemed MIST0823 artpack collection, released three years ago this month, was assembled in the immediate wake of the death of #PaulReubens aka #PeeWeeHerman, and we scrambled to cobble together a small tribute to his #PeeWeesPlayhouse oeuvre. Cthulu dashed off this super smallscale #ANSIart rendition of #Jambi the genie (RIP #JohnParagon also!) turning his wish-endowing chant into a Mistigris (well... Histigris) promo of sorts.

MIST0819/PIXEL_ART_FOR_THE_HEART-EVENING_RIVER

 Mistigram: this meditative #pixelart landscape, "Evening River", was drawn by Pixel Art For The Heart and included in the MIST0819 artpack collection released seven years ago this month.

MIST0820/BLIPPYPIXEL-POST-CORONA_SUPERMARKET_CAR_PARK

 Mistigram: six years ago society had just about gotten over dragging its heels and finally got around to the stay-at-home Covid-19 shutdown, which left a lot of public spaces empty and public services unmanned and @blippypixel noticing just how much trash there was blowing around the empty parking lot at his local market, and wondering if there would be anyone to notice whether he #graffiti'd a tag on the side of the building or, like in the opening act of a zombie movie, it really was anarchy out there. (To play it safe, he just drew it in #teletext.)

This screen was included in the MIST0820 artpack collection.

MIST0822/ZII-DUMP

Mistigram: @zeusii drew this #ANSIart logoff screen, adapting Bizonacci's #DumpIt crypto memes featuring the distinctive likeness of #IgorBogdanoff, for Monero BBS. It was included in the MIST0822 artpack collection released four years ago this month.
 

MIST0823/ATONALOSPREY-BRIGHT_IDEA

 Mistigram: In most places, June is #Pride month, but here in area code 604 August is the time and indeed celebrations are in full force right now. This #teletext screen by @atonalosprey, 'Bright Idea', does a good job at conveying the experience. This piece was included in the MIST0823 artpack collection released three years ago this month.

MIST0797/SM-0797i

 Mistigram: this ripe #ANSIart logo, falling out of the tree right into your hand, was drawn by Sarcasm in promotion of Wishbringer's BBS Juice. It was included in the MIST0797 artpack collection released 29 years ago this month.

MIST0721/KUROGAO-PETS

 Mistigram: this charming #emoji-based #ASCIIart suite of vignettes imagining how nice it would be to own various kinds of domestic pets is the unmistakable handiwork of Kurogao. They were included in the unthemed MIST0721 artpack collection released five years ago this month.

MIST0526/TGH-DTAF

 Mistigram: this menacing #CGA-palette psychic furry #ANSIart mob scene (say that three times fast!) was drawn over a six hour peiod by The Green Herring in a Twitch stream (after which, maybe their hand was glowing magenta also!), and was included in the recent science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0721/BLIPPYPIXEL-TUESDAY_AFTERNOON

 Mistigram: in a tremendous demonstration of the cyclical nature of time, this #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen of a gaze out the studio window, titled "Tuesday afternoon", is being shared today on a Tuesday afternoon. It was made by @blippypixel and originally included in the MIST0721 artpack collection released five years ago this month.

MIST0721/POLYDUCKS-MOUSESQ

 Mistigram: five years ago @polyducks Tweeted this proof-of-concept game layout, using fixed-width emoji as sprites for an unmade game where a mouse seeks cheese and avoids hazards while seeking the exit from a maze.  This piece was included in the MIST0721 artpack collection.

MIST0526/TGH-GOLD

 Mistigram: this alien character, 'Golden Sapphire', was one of four drawn in #ANSIart by @thegreenherring as part of a Twitch livestream the last day of May this year.  They all appeared in the recent science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0797/CK!0797b

 Mistigram: this colourful newschool #ASCIIart logo for the #LegionOfKnights BBS was drawn by #CerealKiller and included in the MIST0797 artpack collection released 29 years ago this month,

MIST0797/YT-TJM3

 Mistigram: this grimacing #ANSIart matrix logon menu for Mist Classic's second WHQ BBS, Happyfish's #TheJadeMonkey, was drawn by #Neophyte and included in the MIST0797 artpack collection released 29 years ago this month!

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.
