Mistigram: Memento te mori means Remember you must die, & mortality is sure on the mind of the person looking in this mirror. @littlebitspace.bsky.social won 1st place with it in the ##PETSCII compo at last year's @flashparty.ar ! It was also included in the spooky MIST1024 artpack collection

In front of the calligraphed words Memento Te Mori, a person stands in front of a mirror and sees their skeleton looking back at them.

Mistigram: this greyscale #PETSCII portrait of ndh's black #cat, Kiki, was drawn by @littlebitspace.bsky.social and included in last month's #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

A black cat side-eyes the viewer, unimpressed.

Mistigram: the King of the Jungle here was drawn in #PETSCII characters by @littlebitspace.bsky.social , and was included in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection. (Q: What's a #lion's favorite compression format? A: Rar!)

A lion's symmetrical face, half in shadow, stares back at the viewer head-on.

Mistigram: Happy Zero Cool day! This elite #PETSCII feline #hackercore badge art was designed by @littlebitspace.bsky.social and used at last year's #Defcon conference (this year's wraps today.) It was also included in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

The aforementioned Hackercore sticker sits on a table next to a cat-head-shaped badge reader device.

Mistigram: in unixlikes, the command 'cat' outputs the contents of a file to the screen. In this case the file was a (##PETSCII) ##ASCIIart illustration of a cat, so the artist @littlebitspace.bsky.social needed to 'cat cat'. This recursive piece was included in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack.

A picture of a housecat is drawn in white against a black background using punctuation marks and slashes.

Mistigram: you may recall our sharing of @littlebitspace.bsky.social 's "Castle Kit" font a bit over a week ago. As it turns out, castles are not the only thing you can draw in #textmode with its collection of remapped #PETSCII glyphs...

framed in the darkness by small architectural elements, pieces of rooftops, walls, doorways and hedges are artfully arranged to depict what might be characterised as the skull of a town golem.

I did the original graphic design for a skateboard and, thanks to P1NKY, I decided to ANSIfy it with slight modifications

Mistigram: "Castle Kit" is one of three remapped #PETSCII fonts created by @littlebitspace.bsky.social . As its name suggests, its 8x8px blocks are intended for use illustrating scenes of monumental medieval architecture with specialised textmode semigraphics.

Arising from woodland scrub and a small farmer's plot emerges the contours of a castle's walls and towers, behind the name of the artist littlebitspace, spelled out architecturally. Behind it all the night sky twinkles with stars and glows with clouds charged with faint mystical energy.

Mistigram: when most artists design a logo, they don't design every single letterform in the alphabet. Here @littlebitspace.bsky.social demonstrates a #pangram, a phrase intended to demonstrate all the letters. This piece was included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

Written in stylish white letters against a black background, framed by curlicue textmode ornaments above, below and in the corners is written the phrase Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.

Mistigram: in all the beverage discourse, we overlooked one of the all-time classics. @littlebitspace.bsky.social represents here with this bird's eye #asciiart representation of a Japanese #tea ceremony service, titled "Tea Is Eternal", from the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

Looking down from above, we see a rectangular tray supporting two teacups and other tea service paraphernalia.

Mistigram: there's not much hot gossip in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine, but nevertheless there @littlebitspace.bsky.social was, spilling the #tea, #ASCIIart style. Truly a scene to make Arthur Dent cry.

A dainty teacup flies through the air at a jaunty angle, gently separating from its saucer, as its delicious tea begins sloshing over its edge, destined for an expensive white carpet or leather sofa.

Custom font in the making once again. I thought I'll post this and regret later as the font will likely be totally different.

Ranking doesn't have to be that linear. You could just highlight the top 10 or whatever without putting them into any order. I think the ranking criteria affects a lot what people feel about it. The top pieces should rather be the most enjoyed than "the best"

𝖑𝖎𝖙𝖙𝖑𝖊𝖇𝖎𝖙𝖘𝖕𝖆𝖈𝖊 @littlebitspace.bsky.social · Mar 26

You have valid points but, on the other hand, alphabetical order always highlights the works of the same artists
