MIST0695/TE-LOS01

 Mistigram: from the MIST0695 artpack collection released, gulp, 31 years ago, here's a distinctive #ANSIart logo drawn by The Extremist for The Mosh Pit (TMP) BBS. (We haven't merged with ACiD yet, RaDMaN needs to stop dragging his heels!)

Today on Mistigram, this dense little Mistigris ANSI art logo by Platinum, included as part of a “colly” in our June 1995 artpack. It can be hard cramming all of the letters in at the best of times, and here he pulled it off with room to spare!

Today on Mistigram, we have a very purple ANSI art logo (hm, a friend spilled iodine all over themselves yesterday – coincidence?) drawn by Xeryrus during his very brief stint in Mistigris in June of 1995. Graffiti styles + grape jelly?

It wasn’t long ago that we featured an appearance by Tribe! during his brief but impactful stint in Mistigris before he moved along to his geographically closer colleagues in Dark as the 4th Disciple. But while he was here with us, here is another one from the infofile of that artpack in June of 1995 – a glimmer of hope as the Fire merger was crumbling, just prior to the glimmer itself crumbling in turn. (But we still had a long way to go yet!)

21 years old this month, today’s piece of historical ANSI art is a wildly Fauvist Mist logo by Xeryrus, first released in our June 1995 artpack.

And one more catch-up piece, this striking Mistigris logo was drawn by Tribe! as part of a larger work in MIST0695.

The Sixteen Colours’ ANSI of the Day series has always been disproportionally generous to us – since, let’s be fair, despite coming close at our most vigorous, Mistigris ANSI never set the artscene on fire and it was always our most troubled division, eternally torn between striking out on their own or just throwing in the towel altogether. But one of our most consistent guiding lights over the course of Mistigris’ Classic period was Mavrik, SysOp of Daemon’s Gate, host to our BBS echomail network KiTSCHNet and instigator of our newsletter/e-mag (electronic magazine) KiTHE. He, uh, wore many hats, and consequently ANSI art never got his full focus – but when he slipped a few hours in PabloDraw into his crowded schedule, he always got excellent results. (Even today, having dug Mav up from deep retirement, though we haven’t yet tricked him into coughing up any new artwork, he has graciously provided web hosting at mistigris.org , so to him we say hats off!)

His appearance in today’s AOTD is the result of a recent swing toward the “roundup” format, of showing off multiple pictures of the same subject. Today’s theme is Julie Winters from The Maxx, and he represents us with an offering from the MIST0695 artpack.
