Mistigram: this rather abstract green newschool #ASCIIart logo for Savage Exile BBS was drawn by Plastic as part of our Mistigris World Tour stop with Fistful of Steel in the FOS-0197 artpack collection released 27 years ago this month. (If you like it, he drew a dozen more that look exactly the same!)
I try to mix up our Mistigram features by genre, artist and age, but once in a while our manual algorithm seizes and we end up with this situation, two pieces from the same artpack two days in a rown. Go figure. So here we are, with another piece from our Mistigris World Tour stint with Fistful of Steel in January of 1997. It’s a twirly, whirly Mist logo (I know, that “T” is something else, isn’t it?) drawn in RIPscrip vector graphics by Neophyte, midway along his quest from Solar Menace to Quip (… and beyond.)
The Mistigris World Tour was scheduled to begin just after our third anniversary in October of 1996, but as decribed in Wikipedia, we had a hard time of things when groups we’d made plans to jointly release with had an unfortunate tendency to up and die just before we joined forces. First it was Ophidiac, then TeklordZ… we just managed to squeak in a combination artpack with Blade at the end of the year, and then continued into 1997 with Fistful of Steel in January, which is where this positively shattered ANSI art logo by Jughead appeared. (This in some way accounts for discrepancy between the date shown on the logo and the release date of the artpack containing it; the art was always phresh, if not necessarily fresh 8)
Today’s Mist promo from our halcyon youth comes from the desk of Neophyte, and was released in this self-contained form as part of a colly in FOS-0197, our second Mistigris World Tour stop, that one being with the group Fistful of Steel.
