 Mistigram: This rooftop portrait of #Sinterklaas was drawn by ENDOOM artist Peccatummihzamiz for this date in last year's ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar, whose forked release as a BBS door is here demonstrated on Paulie's bustling system at http://20forbeers.com:1339/

 Mistigram: This ominous nighttime portrait of #Krampus was drawn by The Green Herring for this date in last year's ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar, which saw a forked release as a BBS door... here it is demonstrated on Amessyroom's system Too Lazy at https://toolazy.synchro.net/

ADVENT24/03_DEC24

 Mistigram: this chilly landscape was drawn by LDA for this date in last year's ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar. The calendar saw a forked release as a BBS door, and here it is demonstrated on Codefenix's system Constructive Chaos at https://conchaos.synchro.net/

Ask your SysOp to host ADVENT25 on your favorite BBS and we will showcase it here!

ADVENT24/02_DEC24

 Mistigram: Frozen's Olaf isn't the only snowman interested in warm summertime pursuits! This screen for today's Dec 2nd date (at bottom right) was drawn by Moth for last year's ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar. (We have new art as well as the old for the ADVENT25 calendar, but you have to go open those little doors yourself... or wait a year for us to post them.)

The program also has a BBS door version, and one place you can see the calendar in action is, as demonstrated, on @_n1tr0n's "Hold Fast" BBS at https://holdfastbbs.ca/ (Let us know if you host it on _your_ BBS and we will post a screen shot from there!)

ADVENT24/01_DEC24

 Mistigram: last year's ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar kicked off on Dec 1st with this incredible macabre @littlebitspace illustration of #UncleSam hyping up the crowd's patriotic involvement in festive seasonal cheer.

ADVENT25 FILE_ID

Mistigram: introducing ADVENT25, our third annual #ANSIart #AdventCalendar.  Enclosed is an executable program, and every day this month up to Dec 25th it will display that new date's illustration and allow you to view the previous screens.  Andyh's MS-DOS executable can be run via 16colo.rs or in DOSbox, and j0hnny a1pha's BBS door fork will allow you to have the daily screens displayed via participating bulletin board services.

The #ASCIIart cat in the FILE_ID artwork is by The Green Herring, whose work you will be seeing a lot of in this collection!

MIST-30/ILLARTERATE_MRZERO

 Mistigram: this fauvist portrait of #MrZero, the announcer from the #FZero racing games, was drawn by @illarterate and won 1st place in the Nova 2024 demoparty's #Teletext compo. It was also included a year ago in the MIST-30 30th anniversary celebration artpack collection.
