Hollywood has ignored tank control actor movement for too long!

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's an example of the impulsive "real-world art" practice that wound up exploding from Mistigris into #Hallucigenia in '98 ...

Mistigram: at the end of 2018, we released a bonus collection of artist self-portraits. At that time Tim Ereneta practiced regular ##MaskMonday selfies so there were a lot of them available for us to share. This is one creative take from MIST1318 involving some folded card.

Mistigram: this prehistoric specimen, a spin on ##GeorgeHWBush's 1988 campaign pledge (##ReadMyLipsNoNewTaxes), was drawn by ##ANSIart innovator ##NoelGamboa sometime in the late '80s, to discourage drama on echomail forums on BBSes. We included it in our 2019 career retrospective.

Mistigram: as part of his spasm of insane productivity during the Mistigris World Tour, Plastic drew this newschool ##ASCIIart logo for Rage's BBS Neosporin as part of our tour stop with the Fistful of Steel crew in the FOS-0197 artpack collection released 29 years ago this month.

Mistigram: one year & five days ago, we nominally assisted @Kirkman in releasing the improbable IGNITE01 artpack, featuring Instant Graphics & Sound multimedia screens for Atari ST BBS callers. One of its included artworks was this important disclaimer, designed by Weatherman115.

Mistigram: Who are these ##1bit chimerae, ant/eaters? I can't place them, but we included them in an incredible, sprawling 70k animated GIF consisting of 254 basically ##1bit monochrome tech screens Phil Mainwaring drew in the MIST0117 artpack collection nine years ago this month.

Mistigram: and because the bottom of the top nine are ranked so very near to the top of the following nine, here's one further set of your collective favorites of the posts we made last year!

Mistigram: due to our complex social media practice, it's challenging to come up with a meaningful ranking of the most beloved works we shared in a given calendar year. That said, here are some of the best-appreciated pieces by some of our most popular creators shared in 2025.

Until recently, I'd been off social media for quite a while; that doesn't mean I wasn't toiling away on #PETSCII ideas in the background the whole time.
