Mistigram: and here's an #ANSIart portrait of actress #SydneySweeney in promotion of the 23rd installment of the #TotalDOSCollection, as drawn by VileR. She's still in the news starring in Christy, but the illustration is a little "Big Blue" wordplay ...

Mistigram: this elegant #textmode #skull, given rather more texture through use of a remapped #ASCIIart font than the ANSI bonehead it appeared alongside in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection, is of course the handiwork of @littlebitspace.bsky.social

Mistigram: Hocus pocus! Artscene veteran @zeusii.bsky.social drew these ##ANSIart takes on a magical wizard for the Katzenpost Post Quantum Mix Network (Revolutionary post-quantum packet switching anonymous communication!) It was included in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection.

I don't know what it is about this specific fun fact about Rebecca Heineman that got to me. A tiny eternal memory in a secret place unknown to everyone except the most plugged in, at the right place, at the right time. This is just so cool.
borrowed time, easter egg, macintosh (1985) 'enter the command 'burger' at any time to get beheaded with an axe. this is part of a long-running inside joke on the part of interplay co-founder rebecca "burger" heineman.' tcrf.net/Borrowed_Tim...

Mistigram: Bystanders observing this gnarly #sk8r dude might be moved to remark: siiiick! No: in fact, he is completely deceased! But not even death can keep a wicked shredder down. This monochrome #ANSIart #skeleton, titled #DanseMacabre, is the handiwork of @littlebitspace.bsky.social.

I entered the #ATASCII compo for the first time this year. I came in 2nd-to-last, but I was happy with my drawing: X the Owl from "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."

It's been a while since I tried drawing with the #Atari 8-bit computer's unique character set!

Mistigram: this gaunt steed may only represent a hacker conveying himself through cyberspace (hence the ones and zeroes, and the accents in terminal green), but we felt that Mavenmob's #ANSIart scene here was creepy enough to warrant inclusion in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection.

Mistigram: long caught up in development hell, @grymmjack.bsky.social 's #Atari2600 video game adaptation of #Frankenstein finally saw release in tandem with Guillermo del Toro's Netflix film. (OK no, but its cover art mock-up was included in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection!)

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.
