Mistigram: but here, you don’t have to take my word for it that @maxmouse plans on opening a BBS named Lush, here’s an #ANSIart logo for it he drew that we just released in this month’s new MIST1118 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2OYwcRU
Mistigram: Publius Emeritus II emerged from #ASCIIart retirement for our MIST1014 20th anniversary reunion artpack four years ago but hasn’t been seen much since… until now. During the run-up to this month’s MIST1118 collection he appeared, asking some pointed questions about the nodelist of KiTSCHNet, the FidoNet-style echomail network that served Mistigris-affiliated BBSes back in the ‘90s, allowing members of different bulletin board services to partake in slow shared conversations without everyone having to dial in to a shared central hub. (Instead the BBSes themselves would automatically call home and sync up with the mothership every morning at 1 am.) Many great and curious conversations took place between far-flung individuals across this network, and in addition to helping coordinate internal group affairs, many conversations conducted there (eg. “ASCII Wars”) wound up immortalized in issues of our house e-mag Kithe. But as of press time they have nearly all been dead nodes for at least 20 years. (Don’t despair, Max Mouse is hoping to open Lush BBS in the new year, and who knows what may follow!) https://ift.tt/2r0DAme
Mistigram: whether or not there is a face encoded in the drawing may be beside the point. Its title is “Isographomania” and the isographomaniac from whose feverish brain it unfolded is of course @Starstew’s. You can find it and quite a bit more in this month’s new MIST1118 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2DR1gC8
Mistigram: just as we were approaching the end of our stockpile of his historical works, @redeyephoto came out of retirement with a whole new collection of imagery. This one, “Shapes”, is simply a photo composition of minimalist elegance. You can find it in the new MIST1118 24th anniversary artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2Kq87CG
Mistigram: the weather is turning so it makes for a good excuse to share this @theresaoborn drawing in a blue funk as a #thunderhead. This piece appeared in this month’s new MIST1118 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2Bnk1ub
Mistigram: good morning! Here, start off your day with a cup of strong coffee, poured from this #fusionbead coffee pot, designed by @webersso.n. This piece was released in this month’s new MIST1118 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2r0vABL
Mistigram: unless you’ve visited their Tumblr recently, you may not even be aware that @chuppixel_ does any work outside the “#pixelart cast ensemble” idiom that has proven so popular to our fans over the past couple of months. But here, they also have original work that offers even more to the patient viewer. This piece is called “Ancient Knowledge, Up In Smoke”, and was released in this month’s new MIST1118 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2qZ0cUd
