MIST1024/HORSENBURGER-WE'RE_READY_TO_BELIEVE_YOU

 

Mistigram: "WE'RE READY TO BELIEVE YOU."  The entrepreneurial parapsychologists in the #Ghostbusters were never above making use of mass media to economically get their commercial message spread far and wide, so @horsenburger likes to imagine that if New York City had featured a #teletext service in 1984, it might have run an ad a little like this one.  This screen was included in the spooky new MIST1024 artpack collection.

The tip of the iceberg… Steve “Horsenburger” Horsley has emerged from retirement (as a onetime teletext illustration professional) and has discovered that the machinery is still all well-oiled and the motions near seamless. (For a pittance, he would be happy to sell you a teletext portrait!) The hard part isn’t getting him to draw teletext, it’s getting him to stop! Here we see a consummately Hallowe'eny piece from his massive appearance in yesterday’s MIST1016 artpack… it is of course the Ghostbusters logo, and as I noted elsewhere – it’s nice to see that seemingly antiquated computer art forms such as teletext aren’t actually any more dated than their contemporaries in the world of comedy and entertainment! This rendition allows you to celebrate them both like it’s 1984 all over again!
