MIST0624/ADEL_FAURE-ALGORAVE_2024

MIST0624/ATONALOSPREY-BOND_OF_UNITY
Mistigram: this double-wide monochrome #teletext screen by @atonalosprey reproduces #MCEscher's 1956 lithograph #BondOfUnion, depicting the heads of a man and woman formed entirely by a single thin coiled strip of mutual essence. It was included in the unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection released two years ago.

MIST0624/ILLARTERATE-FAXSCII-FAXHACKED

MIST0624/CT-FISHWORSHIP
Mistigram: if you were in the Pacific Northwest in the '90s, as @nicheinterests was, the incredible #fish-themed art of Alaskan artist @ray.troll was everywhere. The recent unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection was the perfect excuse for Cthulu to garishly adapt one of Ray's more surreal scenes into the #ANSIart graphics format the home computers of that era would have been using, because unbelievably we have no plans yet to release a fish-themed artpack. (Fish Worship, for the record, is never wrong, and is a protected right under the Constitution.)

MIST0624/ILLARTERATE-WALNUT_THE_OWL
Mistigram: when you split a walnut in half, the interior structure of the shell can resemble an #owl face. I expect that's why this #textmode composition by @illarterate, which won 3rd place in the 2023 #ATASCII art compo, is named "Walnut the Owl". It was included in the recent unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection.

MIST0624/MOZZ-DANCER
Mistigram: this is one of two #ASCIIart illustrations of dancers drawn by Mozz, inspired by the stroboscopic photography of the late Gjon Mili. It was included in the recent unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection.

MIST0624/ZII-ZGAI
Mistigram: The fabulous Zeus II drew this #ANSIart BBS matrix login screen depicting Ten-ō Hyūga from the #Shurato manga/anime/toy line of the late '80s. It was included in the recent unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection.

MIST0624/NI-NANCY
Mistigram: to you, it's just an airplane. But the artist @_n1tr0n has actually flown it, and describes it as "Nancy, tail number 61672, is a 1950s era radial engine powered Nanchang CJ-6 fighter-trainer built by the Chinese Air Force." What can I say, every #ANSIart screen is worth a thousand words! This piece was included in the recent unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection.

MIST0624/MM-LENNON
Mistigram: this #ANSIart screen of a #hummingbird, drawn by @Mavenmob, is named #OhMyLove (after the John Lennon song) and was included in last month's unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection.

MIST0624/ATONALOSPREY-DELETE_YOUR_ACCOUNT
Mistigram: this is the only part of a larger suite of somewhat hostile #teletext #ASCIIart typographical works by @atonalosprey that we managed to include in the recent unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection, but under some circumstances it remains excellent advice. #deleteyouraccount

MIST0624/ADEL_FAURE-PROFESSOR_SMITH'S_MENAGERIE
Mistigram: at once incredibly cude and vaguely menacing, this detailed #pixelart (Pixboard?) scene of Furbots and VPets (Furbies and Tamagotchi with pathos) by @adelfaure is titled "Professor Smith's Menagerie". It was included in the new unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection.

MIST0624/AXB-MAKEARTNOTWAR
Mistigram: the #oldschoolASCII logo by @axbmusic in front of the paintbrushes reads "Make Art Not War". There's already too much war in the world, never enough art. You don't always have a choice, but until war becomes inevitable, always prioritize art. This #ASCIIart piece was included in the new unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection.

MIST0624 teletext+ mosaic
Mistigram: if your tastes run more towards the tighter constraints of #teletext screens and those more exotic flavours of #textmode art such as the #AMSCII character set of the Amstrad CPC or #ATASCII from Atari's early 8-bit home computers, the new MIST0624 artpack collection has you covered. Here are some sample works from that collection, many of them entries in demoparty competitions, drawn by @atonalosprey , @illarterate and @carlos_teletextr.
