Mistigram: today at Sacramento's @chalkitupsac Festival, Skrubly reproduced, in sidewalk chalk, Banzo9420's ANSI art take on a j33p33 Mistigris logo outline we invited artists to finish "in their style" for our 25th anniversary back in the MIST1119 artpack collection. (Speaking of which, we should get another one of those going for our 30th anniversary this November!)
Mistigram: today was originally omitted by accident from AdeptApril's daily #ANSIart calendar, but when this was pointed out she obliged by cranking out this illustration of a BBQ at the picnic site, celebrating Eat Outside Day.
Mistigram: 232 years ago on this date #MaryShelley was born, daughter of feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and anarchist William Godwin. One night she invented both horror and science fiction by writing #Frankenstein in order to escape the unbearable tedium of being shut up in a holiday cabin with Lord Byron in the summer of 1816. This #ANSIart celebration of her creation was drawn by AdeptApril.
Mistigram: pucker up, baby! If you like lemons but can't stand the pulp, today is the day for you: #LemonJuice day, illustrated here in #ANSIart by AdeptApril!
Mistigram: I imagine it may not come as a great surprise to you, but many practitioners of #ANSIart (such as AdeptApril, who drew this screen) love to read #ComicBooks. Are they ashamed of their literary indulgence? No! They take their favorite panels and reproduce them in glorious blocky #textmode! Today we can all proudly be like them, on International Read Comics In Public Day.
Mistigram: I guess Paper had previously been disqualified by Scissors here at the #RockPaperScissors finals, leaving a tense showdown here in AdeptApril's #ANSIart screen celebrating World Rock, Paper, Scissors Day. (Best two out of three?)
Mistigram: not much more than a hundred years ago, women gained the right to vote in the United States, when the 19th Amendment was signed into law. Now, a woman may be voted President... or, conversely, women may lose their personhood. AdeptApril provided us with that food for thought on Women's #Equality Day by way of this #ANSIart screen.
