 Mistigram: a regretful reprint, this #ANSIart promo for #BlackSunshine BBS was drawn by Mavrik and released in the MIST0695 artpack collection released 31 years ago.  It depicts the offbeat Image Comics hero #TheMaxx.  RIP to his creator #SamKieth.

Today on Mistigram, this spooky ANSI art Mistigris logo drawn by early Mistigris enabler Mavrik of Daemon’s Gate. The logo is excerpted from a larger piece, an illustrated lit whose eternal poetry might not have aged as gracefully. (Actually, it was DOA.) Enjoy the logo!

Here it is, possibly the very first Mistigris logo of any kind ever drawn. This came from the desk of Mavrik, a foolhardy jack-of-all-trades who took other people’s grand ideas and crazily … made them happen. This logo was seen in the inaugural Mistigris artpack of October 1994, both on its own and also in the first issue of the Kithe E-mag (electronic magazine) that was bundled in – also a Mavrik project. (Today he hosts mistigris.org!)

Today on Mistagram, what might possibly be the world’s smallest Mist ANSI art logo. This was drawn by our resident Renaissance man and all-around helper (even today hosting mistigris.org) Mavrik, and topped a larger piece released in our 4th artpack in January of 1995.

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.
