Mistirgam: our unthemed MIST0823 artpack collection, released three years ago this month, was assembled in the immediate wake of the death of #PaulReubens aka #PeeWeeHerman, and we scrambled to cobble together a small tribute to his #PeeWeesPlayhouse oeuvre.
Thanks to the Internet Archive, I just discovered this comic adaptation of Ray Bradbury's *There Will Come Soft Rains*, beautifully illustrated by Wally Wood. https://archive.org/details/there-will-come-soft-rains-part-6

Mistigram: this meditative #pixelart landscape, "Evening River", was drawn by Pixel Art For The Heart and included in the MIST0819 artpack collection released seven years ago this month.
Mistigram: @pixelblip.bsky.social contemplated painting his #graffiti tag on a supermarket when its parking lot was filled with uncollected trash during the Covid shutdown. (To play it safe, he just drew it in #teletext.) This screen was included in the MIST0820 artpack released six years ago.
Mistigram: @zeusii.bsky.social drew this #ANSIart logoff screen, adapting Bizonacci's #DumpIt crypto memes featuring the distinctive likeness of #IgorBogdanoff, for Monero BBS. It was included in the MIST0822 artpack collection released four years ago this month.
Mistigram: this ripe #ANSIart logo, falling out of the tree right into your hand, was drawn by Sarcasm in promotion of Wishbringer's BBS Juice. It was included in the MIST0797 artpack collection released 29 years ago this month.
Mistigram: this charming #emoji-based #ASCIIart suite of vignettes imagining how nice it would be to own various kinds of domestic pets is the unmistakable handiwork of Kurogao. They were included in the unthemed MIST0721 artpack collection released five years ago this month.
Mistigram: this menacing #CGA-palette psychic furry #ANSIart mob scene was drawn over a six hour peiod by @thegreenherring.art in a Twitch stream (after which, maybe their hand was glowing magenta also!), and was included in the recent science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen of a gaze out the studio window, titled "Tuesday afternoon", is being shared today on a Tuesday afternoon. It was made by @pixelblip.bsky.social and originally included in the MIST0721 artpack collection released five years ago this month.
Mistigram: five years ago @polyducks.bsky.social Tweeted this proof-of-concept game layout, using fixed-width emoji as sprites for an unmade game where a mouse seeks cheese and avoids hazards while seeking the exit from a maze. This piece was included in the MIST0721 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this alien character, 'Golden Sapphire', was one of four drawn in #ANSIart by @thegreenherring.art as part of a Twitch livestream the last day of May this year. They all appeared in the recent science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.
Luscious computer lips, albeit with body horror in mind. Computer graphics designed for use in David Cronenberg's Videodrome. 📖: Creative Computer Graphics, 1984

If you're a computer artist who's been sitting on the sidelines quietly appreciating our posts, please note: we're soliciting submissions for an upcoming unthemed collection of computer art, possibly for release as soon as the end of this month! If you'd like to reach our audiences with your work...
Mistigram: to cleanse the palate of AI discourse, here's a monochrome #teletext statement by @pixelblip.bsky.social (which you can interpret for yourself) about #NFT art included in the MIST0721 artpack collection released five years ago this month.
Mistigram: @zeusii.bsky.social drew this stone cold #ANSIart silhouette of an alien city skyline... Cthulu adapted Sokratype's Narcotix font to give its footer 'illegible alien script' feels. The joint was included in the recent science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack.
Mistigram: This #ANSIart screen, 'What's this?', was 3/4 speed-drawn by @thegreenherring.art in 61 minutes during a Twitch livestream, and was included in the recent science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.
Mistigram: Cthulu recently stumbled across a copy of #BruceSterling's seminal #Mirrorshades #cyberpunk anthology in a used bookstore and took it as a sign from The Algorithm to adapt its evocative cover artwork to #ANSIart for the recent science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

Mistigram: today it's Count Binface against Nigel Farage in Clacton, but 9 years ago it was his predecessor #LordBuckethead vs Theresa May. He promised Ceefax's return, so #teletext artists like @illarterate.bsky.social were keen to boost him. This screen was included in the MIST0717 artpack
Mistigram: some seek out new life and new civilizations, but for Darkman Almighty, the SF-themed MIST0526 artpack collection was a chance to draw #ANSIart of a character from a fresh #StarTrek franchise, like this portrait of #ConnorTrinneer, playing #TripTucker in #Enterprise.
Mistigram: this badass extra-wide #ANSIart promo for Godfather's extra-wide The Underground BBS was drawn by @zeusii.bsky.social & included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack. (The power armour worn by the bounty hunter on the right renders the scene eligible for the theme!)
Mistigram: this alien was last seen recently, leading a parade of friendly extraterrestrials. This #pixelart piece, 'How Do I Look, Earthling?' was drawn by @thegreenherring.art and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.
