ARTDISK-/CHL_W1
Mistigram: only ever seen in the "best of Mistigris" floppy diskette digest distributed at a #LivingCloset variety show July 23, 1999 at the Church of Pointless Hysteria, here is an example of the impulsive "real-world art" practice that wound up exploding from Mistigris into #Hallucigenia in '98, #asemicwriting and imaginary semigraphics character sets inscribed by Mist weirdos with #sidewalkchalk on cobblestones at the Word on the Street festival at the central branch of the Vancouver Public Library, probably circa 1997. The fancy boot is Crowkeeper's, and the photo was very likely taken by Etana.

NOEL_GAMBOA/NOFIGHTS
Mistigram: this specimen from #ANSIart prehistory, a spin on #GeorgeHWBush's memorable 1988 Presidential campaign pledge (#ReadMyLipsNoNewTaxes), was drawn by ANSI innovator #NoelGamboa, presumably sometime in the late '80s or early '90s, to discourage drama on ANSI echomail discussion forums on networked BBSes. We included it in our 2019 NOEL_GAMBOA retrospective of his influential ANSI art career.
