MIST0424/HORSENBURGER-HOPPER-NIGHTHAWKS


 Mistigram: you think the nocturnal denizens of #EdwardHopper's iconic 1942 painting #Nighthawks are alienated, if he made it today they'd all be on their phones, to boot!  This #teletext adaptation was made by @horsenburger and included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.


ADEPTAPRIL/MAY09


 Mistigram: some people mourn over lost opportunity, or pine for lost love. Someone famously once said "What a waste it is to lose one's mind". But today we share a moment of silence in respect for Lost #Sock Memorial Day. AdeptApril has observed the occasion in #ANSIart.

MIST0424-LITTLEBITSPACE-_THINK


 Mistigram: Hmmm... here's some food for thought! This contemplative #ASCIIart adaptation of #TheThinker, the crowning element in #AugusteRodin's #GatesOfHell, was made by @littlebitspace and included in the new fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY08


 Mistirgam: Today is #RedCross / Red Crescent day, "dedicated to those suffering from natural disasters, armed conflicts, and other crises." One of those emblems is very straightforward to draw in #ANSIart, and thus AdeptApril has done so.

MIST0424/BLIPPYPIXEL-ARTIST

 


Mistigram: in the new fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection, @blippypixel pays tribute to a number of his favorite artists -- and here he is also paying homage to one of ours: himself! Here is the maestro, composing one of his trademark #BBCMicro cosmic vistas!

ADEPTAPRIL/MAY07


 Mistigram: today's special occasion includes specific instructions for how it is to be observed. I hope you have a martini glass at hand for this #cocktail to be served in, because AdeptApril's #ANSIart screen for today celebrates #Cosmopolitan day!

MIST0424/ATONALOSPREY-FRANZ_STUCK-DIE_SUNDE


 Mistigram: the artist @AtonalOsprey recalls seeing it "at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich some 20 years ago", and now you can enjoy it from the comfort of the device in your hand. The blocky #teletext medium denies you the option of zooming in to appreciate the finer details, but this is a reproduction of Symbolist #FranzStuck's unforgettable 1893 painting #DieSünde (Sin), depicting a large snake draped around a female nude. This screen was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.
