ADVENT23/25_DEC23

 Mistigram: for this date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar, @littlebitspace drew a magnificent and chilling #blockASCII portrait of the late Jolly Old St. Nick, apparently reduced to nowt but bones and beard following his magical night's impossible exertions.

ADVENT23/24_DEC23

 Mistigram: @thegreenherring drew this #ANSIart scene of #RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer's big moment for this date on last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar.

ADVENT23/23_DEC23

 Mistigram: you can communicate a lot of winter vibes with a cold palette of whites and greys, with maybe a splash of red for an accent.  The green you can take or leave.  @Nitron drew this #ANSIart screen for this date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar.

ADVENT23/22_DEC23

 

Mistigram: @grymmjack drew this pleasantly hyper-saturated #ANSIart Alpine scene of a pine tree growing in a snowy meadow, intended to be shared on this date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar.

ADVENT23/21_DEC23

 Mistigram: with aid of a microscope, @littlebitspace conducted some #blockASCII research investigating just why snowflakes are so cold in this screen from today's date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar.  His report back: be very glad they are not warm.

ADVENT23/20_DEC23

 Mistigram: For this date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar, @consolejockey drew an #ANSIart screen of Rodney Recloose's Ski Shop from Electronic Arts' 1990 minigame compilation #SkiOrDie.

ADVENT23/19_DEC23

 Mistigram: 'Then he got an idea. An awful idea. #TheGrinch had a wonderful, awful idea.'  LDA drew this incredible #ANSIart screen from #ChuckJones' 1966 animated adaptation of #DrSeuss' 1957 book #HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas for this date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar.

ADVENT23/18_DEC23

ADVENT23/17_DEC23

 Mistigram: #EpicMegagames' heavily-armed green lagomorph #JazzJackrabbit was drawn in #ANSIart by @Grymmjack, as he appeared in his seasonal 1995 #HolidayHare bonus disk, to appear on this date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar.

ADVENT23/16_DEC23

 Mistigram: @littlebitspace drew this cozy-but-not-relaxing #monochrome #blockASCII screen of an indoor view through a crowded window on a snowy day for this date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar.  The house rule is: don't rub the cat's tummy.

ADVENT23/15_DEC23

 Mistigram: For today's date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar, @littlebitspace drew a tiny 1-bit #textmode #pixelart design writ large in #blockASCII, of what appears to be a fool, jester or joker in the Mistigris poker vein previously explored.

ADVENT23/14_DEC23

 Mistigram: for this date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar, Cthulu manually made an #ANSIart reproduction of #pixelart sprites from Chris Pirih's #SkiFree, first included in 1991's Microsoft Entertainment Pack 3.

ADVENT23/13_DEC23

 Mistigram: On yesterday's unlucky date for our ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar, @littlebitspace drew this extraordinary (boney) hand of playing cards, including two jokers (perhaps they are playing a variation of poker in which they are wild?) and an oddly familiar red-nosed deer skull.

ADVENT23/12_DEC23

Mistigram: @Codefenix drew this cozy #ANSIart scene for today's date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar.  If you like it, you can see more such ANSI screens from this year's ADVENT24 at his Constructive Chaos BBS via conchaos.synchro.net

ADVENT23/09_DEC23

ADVENT23/07_DEC23

 Mistigram: For this date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar, @grymmjack drew an #ANSIart portrait of 'Bumble', the Abominable Snowmonster of the North, from 1964's Rankin/Bass Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer TV special.

ADVENT23/06_DEC23

 Mistigram: the northerly home country of @littlebitspace, the #ANSIart illustrator of today's date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar, also lays claim to Santa Claus.  But if you don't know your flags, you may not be able to see the forest for the trees.

ADVENT23/05_DEC23

 Mistigram: This sly character, drawn by LDA, appeared in last year's ADVENT23 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar on this date.  This year we have released another one, but you need to visit its program every day (under MS-DOS, on a BBS, or via https://16colo.rs/pack/advent24/ADVENT.EXE) to see the new screens.
