Mistigram: this pseudoreflective logo was submitted as monochrome #pixelart by @nouscentric, but Cthulu thought it could be easily adapted to textmode and given a #LiteBrite colour treatment for extra punch, so we ran it like this in last month's unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

Mistigram: like the groundhog emerging from his storied hole, everyone is excited to once again catch a rare glimpse of #MitchMcConnell's profoundly furrowed neck, here illustrated in #teletext by @atonalosprey for reasons that can only be chalked up to the stark randomness of the Muse.

Mistigram: Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water... This #blockASCII (uncoloured #ANSIart) illustration of #shark #jaws was drawn by @axb.bsky.social and included in last month's new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

If you're super into "heritage is duty", reminder that modern computing was invented by a gay guy to fight fascism and the phone and probably the computer you're using is powered by a processor first designed by a trans woman.

Eject the floppy.

Mistigram: this monochrome #ASCIIart adaptation of #MarkMaggiori's 2025 painting "Arizona Cannonball" was drawn by @ascii.mozz.us and included in the new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

Mistigram: for this year's 24th edition of the #TotalDOSCollection, VileR drew an #ANSIart scroller entirely concerned with time, as explored in classic computer games. This is a small excerpt of it, adapting #EricChahi's introductory graphics work in Delphine Software's 1989 #FutureWars.

Mistigram: this @pixelblip.bsky.social #BBCMicro hirez graphics landscape (GIF animated where supported!), titled 'September', depicts the leaves of autumn trees doing that which gives the season its alternate name. It was included in the new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

Mistigram: this #ANSIart portrait of Studio Ghibli’s #PrincessMononoke was drawn by @zeusii.bsky.social and included in a colly of similar small works (presumably for use on the anime-themed Shurato’s Heavenly Sphere BBS) in the new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

Mistigram: this is batty #pixelart cover artwork for a chiptune single by @thegreenherring.art , who sends a lot of art our way and is now boldly blazing a trail into the realm of computer music, also!

Mistigram: @AtonalOsprey drew this 'Instagram girl' (more of a type, I suspect, than an actual anonymised subject) in the newschool #ASCIIart style within the #teletext medium. This screen was included in our new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

Mistigram: one of the biggest surprises of the new MIST0826 artpack collection is new work by j33p33, who has been MIA, computer art-wise, for the past six years. This #ANSIart gamer girl is part of a promo scroller for Nore BBS, which you should be able to telnet to via vetromac.dyndns-ip.com:232
