Mistigram: okay, the new MIST0718 artpack collection, taking on the theme of children’s TV in all its warty glory, has been released and is now available in the @textmodes web gallery at https://ift.tt/2tKt2JR where you can enjoy its complete contents effortlessly through your web browser! Kitschy ‘50s television set FILE_ID.DIZ by Cthulu. https://ift.tt/2Kz7ia5
Mistigram: we tapped this vein for #CanadaDay last year also but there are more parts to it - from the 39th installment of the Blender improvised computer art competition sometime in 1997, here’s Dead Soul (again!) setting up his #ANSIart exploration of the story of “Midgets / Wrestling / in Canada”. https://ift.tt/2z6bVY6
Mistigram: and from one year ago, here’s some delightful #teletext texture glitching by @jellica, released in the MIST0717 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2z1nCPA
Mistigram: lending a different texture for variety, here’s an experimental #ASCIIart logo for Mavrik’s BBS Damon’s Gate, drawn by Dead Soul and released 21 years ago this month in the MIST0797 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2KnHHVE
Mistigram: and now it is July, so we shuffle our archives one month forward to peer at releases of Julys past. This is an #ANSIart logo for “Holy Onion” (?!) drawn by Babyface and released 22 years ago this month in the MIST0796 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2MFZIef
Mistigram: like a Dutch old master with his oil paints, @MaxMouse__ is also apparently fascinated by the interplay of light and glass, as demonstrated by the frequency with which he makes #ANSIart illustrations of flasks, potions and bottles. After it was selected as the @sixteencolors ANSI Of The Day, Max let us know that this specific piece had been his first return to ANSI art after a 20 year break. Guess that bottle (despite its ominous Romeo and Juliet overtones in association with the BBS logoff message) must contain a fine wine! https://ift.tt/2MABwtL
Mistigram: @Bhaal_Spawn graced us with one more of their illustrated #gaminghaikus this month - this is of course the overland map of the classic Sega arcade brawler #GoldenAxe. This piece was released in this month’s MIST0618 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2KuxB4z
