MIST0424/BLIPPYPIXEL-THE_FACTORY

Mistigram: @blippypixel brings his #teletext editor back to the #AndyWarhol well for one final take on serially repetitive permutations on iconic topics -- here none other than the Covid-19 coronavirus, whose 15 minutes of fame have certainly overstayed their welcome.  As the compromised host cells of an infected and contagious person turn into virus factories, a metaphor resonates with Warhol's name for his screenprinting print shop studio -- also called "The Factory"... as is this screen, which was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/LITTLEBITSPACE-MARILYN2

 Mistigram: whatever your favorite iconic subject, it makes for an excellent fit in #AndyWarhol's serially repetitive, garishly tinted #popart style.  @littlebitspace here shares with us textmode illustrations of skulls (possibly current portraits of Marilyn Monroe!) using the #PETSCII character set.  This piece was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/BLIPPYPIXEL-MARILYN

 Mistigram: @blippypixel no doubt wonders what pop artist #AndyWarhol would have made of the short-lived #NFT craze, writing it large in this #teletext reproduction of his #MarilynMonroe print.  This screen was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/AXB-ANDY

 Mistigram: this uncoloured #ANSIart (#blockASCII technically) portrait of pop artist #AndyWarhol is the handiwork of @axbmusic.  It was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/BLIPPYPIXEL-WHERE_ARE_WE_NOW

 Mistigram: @blippypixel returns to the topic of pop artist #AndyWarhol in this #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen, named (echoing the Bowie song) "Where Are We Now?"  This piece was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/BLIPPYPIXEL-ANDY

 Mistigram: in this #teletext illustration by @blippypixel, pop art icon #AndyWarhol indulges his interest in watching a little car drive across the TV screen.  This piece was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/LITTLEBITSPACE-HOKUSAI-WAVE

 Mistigram: you can't have one #GreatWaveOffKanagawa without having a second, implied one, so let's post a second interpretation of this 1831 #Hokusai #ukiyoe print, this time rendered in #ASCIIart by the formidable @littlebitspace.  This piece was also included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/T1PO-THE_GREAT_WAVE

 Mistigram: celebrated #typewriterart practitioner @ty.p0 shares their rendition of #Hokusai's 1831 #ukioye print #TheGreatWaveOffKanagawa. This piece was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/LDA-ARCH

Mistigram: this #ANSIart adaptation of the #Architecture illustrations of #HiroshiNagai was made by LDA for our recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.
 

MIST0424/JELLICA_JAKE-VICTORY_POINT

 Mistigram: #OwenPomery's #VictoryPoint is a graphic novel, and consequently falls a little outside the scope of our recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack, but this monochrome #teletext adaptation of its landscape cover art by Jellica Jake wound up being folded into the collection regardless.

MIST0424/LDN-CONNECTION_TERMINATED

Mistigram: tapping a rich vein of Western fine art, ASCII whiz Lord Nikon has used his mad #typewriterart skillz to richly frame this pastoral scene from nature with a pointed caption advising viewers to terminate their electronic connections and embark upon a #digitaldetox.  (Let's compromise: how about we use no technology newer than 1994?)  This piece was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/ILLARTERATE-VIRUSTRUVIAN_MAN

 Mistigram: this #teletext screen by @illarterate reproduced #LeonardoDaVinci's #VitruvianMan illustration to comment on the recommendations for social distancing guidelines issued early on during the Covid-19 pandemic. This piece was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/KUROGAO-ART

 Mistigram: in this two-panel #ASCIIart / #emoji comic strip, @kurogao96 explores the plight of the artist, striving to push the envelope without leaving their audience entirely behind. This comical piece was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/ZXGUESSER-MONET-BRIDGE_OVER_A_POND_OF_WATER_LILIES

 

Mistigram: this #teletext adaptation of #ClaudeMonet's 1899 painting #BridgeOverAPondOfWaterLilies was made by @zxguesser and included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/KALCHA-HOKUSAI01C

 Mistigram: this #textart adaptation of #FineWindClearMorning (also simply called #RedFuji), one of #Hokusai's suite of #ThirtysixViewsOfMountFuji #ukiyoe prints made in the 1830s, was made by @kalchano in #ShiftJIS and included in the new fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/HORSENBURGER-HOPPER-NIGHTHAWKS

 Mistigram: you think the nocturnal denizens of #EdwardHopper's iconic 1942 painting #Nighthawks are alienated, if he made it today they'd all be on their phones, to boot!  This #teletext adaptation was made by @horsenburger and included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424-LITTLEBITSPACE-_THINK

 Mistigram: Hmmm... here's some food for thought! This contemplative #ASCIIart adaptation of #TheThinker, the crowning element in #AugusteRodin's #GatesOfHell, was made by @littlebitspace and included in the new fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/BLIPPYPIXEL-ARTIST

 

Mistigram: in the new fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection, @blippypixel pays tribute to a number of his favorite artists -- and here he is also paying homage to one of ours: himself! Here is the maestro, composing one of his trademark #BBCMicro cosmic vistas!

MIST0424/ATONALOSPREY-FRANZ_STUCK-DIE_SUNDE

 Mistigram: the artist @AtonalOsprey recalls seeing it "at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich some 20 years ago", and now you can enjoy it from the comfort of the device in your hand. The blocky #teletext medium denies you the option of zooming in to appreciate the finer details, but this is a reproduction of Symbolist #FranzStuck's unforgettable 1893 painting #DieSünde (Sin), depicting a large snake draped around a female nude. This screen was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

MIST0424/AXB-ESCHER

 Mistigram: this #ANSIart take on #MCEscher's 1935 lithograph #HandWithReflectingSphere (or #SelfPortraitInSphericalMirror) was drawn by @axbmusic. Slow but steady, he kept drawing underground computer artworks inspired by works of fine art over the four years since our last artpack on the subject, gradually motivating us to curate another one, culminating in the new MIST0424 collection.
