A woman wears a very elaborate masked headdress like a sinister pagan four-masted sailing ship.

Mistigram: if you like getting all dressed up for pagan rites, why not rock this #Samhain headdress? This #monochrome #teletext illustration was drawn by

atonalosprey and included in the spooky MIST1022 artpack collection.

A dramatically-lit fortune teller in exotic garb peers low over her glowing crystal ball, looking for possibilities and fates.

Mistigram:

atonalosprey drew this #teletext portrait of an ominous #fortuneteller conferring with the other side in her #crystalball. This screen was included in the spooky MIST1023 artpack collection released two years ago this month.

I ve heard him described as lean, gaunt, thin and haggard, but this is ridiculous.

Mistigram: at the time he drew #AbrahamLincoln for his #DeadPresidents series,

atonalosprey couldn't have imagined that in 2025 Honest Abe might be not only spinning in his grave but actively pulling his mouldering remains out of it to weigh in on the triumph of the mobocratic spirit. This piece was included in the spooky MIST1022 artpack collection released three years ago this month.

An oceanic hybrid hover jet racer wears yellow racing goggles.

Mistigram: this #teletext portrait of #SonosheeMcLaren from #TakeshiKoike's 2009 #Redline was drawn by

atonalosprey for last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

A tiny young woman stands resolute in deep shadow with a very large world around her.

Mistigram: this monochrome #teletext sketch of #Arrietty from #StudioGhibli's 2010 adaptation of Mary Norton's novel #TheBorrowers was drawn by

atonalosprey and included in last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

This heroic young anime girl has had enough and her resolve is visible on her face.

Mistigram: this #teletext portrait of #NatsukiKoyama from A-1 Pictures' 2010 #WelcomeToTheSpaceShow was drawn by

atonalosprey and included in last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

a red-haired woman poses in lipstick and lace

Mistigram: this double-wide, double-tall #teletext portrait was a study by

atonalosprey, included in the new, unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

A friendly-presenting simulated female human cocks her head at the viewer and smiles against a sparse virtual field. Her true nature reflects in her lensless fashion glasses.

Mistigram:

atonalosprey's social media accounts were visited by many, many bot models recently. This one was extraordinarily chatty. (Perhaps Aisha is some relation to Eliza?) This #teletext portrait was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

An imaginary woman in a thong poses next to a Swedish flag

Mistigram: This bold, shameless virtual character put so much work into reaching

atonalosprey that he was won over to enshrining her as part of a series of model bot portraits in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

A young black man strikes a pose for a close-up portrait wearing a stylish moustache, a white cowboy hat and a gold cross earring, while his name reiterates in the background endlessly: LILNASX

Mistigram:

atonalosprey drew this #teletext portrait of #LilNasX, the singer of the longest-reigning number one single of all time, #OldTownRoad. The screen, titled Lil Nas (telete)X(t), was included in the music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection released one year ago. Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

A gaunt bird-woman clad in rags atop a mound of filth gapes at the viewer from a distance in ardour as tiny multicoloured hearts fill the blackness around her. Beneath, the caption reads Harpy Valentine s Day

Mistigram: if you're a lover of Ancient Greek mythology,

atonalosprey would like for you to have a #Harpy #ValentinesDay! This punny #teletext screen was included in the MIST0223 artpack collection released two years ago this month.

A dark-skinned man in sunglasses opens his mouth all the way, as if surprised, while a tiny login terminal appears at bottom right. (This is the album art to Felix Da Housecat s album He Was King.)

Mistigram: you have apparently hacked your way into this #teletext adaptation of the cover art to #FelixDaHousecat's 2009 album #HeWasKing, drawn by

atonalosprey and included in the music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection released one year ago. Happy #BlackHistoryMonth!

A black man in a suit, eyes erased by garble, poses in front of his name repeated: Blind Willie Johnson

Mistigram: this #teletext portrait of #gospel #blues musician #BlindWillieJohnson was drawn by

atonalosprey and included in the music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection released one year ago. February is #BlackHistoryMonth of course, and American popular music specifically would have stalled with John Philip Sousa without enormous contributions from Black Americans.

A sassy blonde cartoon fellow, viewed in extreme close-up, exclaims: MIST RULES JOO FOO! (It was a kinder, gentler counterpart to Eerie s earlier iconic slogan: JOIN RELIC, FUCKER!)

Mistigram: After the polarizing art dynamo known as Eerie got us pointed in the right direction during our initial formation, he gave his regrets & advised that he'd only be submitting experimental hirez doodles to us going forward. For the new MIST-30 artpack collection

atonalosprey cloned one of them in #teletext from literally 30 years prior.

An emperor penguin stands stiffly on a glacial icefloe beneath the crisp clear sky.

Mistigram: The splash of yellow at the penguin's throat is the only accent in this severe #teletext portrait of an Emperor #Penguin, drawn by

atonalosprey and included in last year's wintry MIST1223 artpack collection.

Against the starry blackness of outer space is viewed a portion of a spherical planet, overlaid with dots and crisscrossing lines representing hubs and nodes of signal and communication.

Mistigram: this prize-winning #teletext promo for

freegeekpdx, North America's community-level e-waste refurbisher, was drawn by

atonalosprey and included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.

An arrogant cowled face, hairless and literally etched with deep lines, looks back over its shoulder as the rider descends to a place where he is most unwelcome.

Mistigram: this is a manual #teletext adaptation by

atonalosprey of a detail from #GustaveDore's 1865 etching Death on the Pale Horse (or Vision of Death, depending on your translation.) It was included in last month's spooky MIST1024 artpack collection.

A skeleton wearing a fancy pink wig grins uneasily in front of a backdrop of the phrase LET THEM EAT CAKE repeated infinitely.

Mistigram: there are certainly offputting political overtones to world events this evening, so this just might be the perfect image to pair them with, wallowing in distinct offputting political overtones of its own! This grim #teletext portrait of the #skeleton of #MarieAntoinette (whose head appeared to have been reunited with its torso at some point over the past 231 years) was drawn by

atonalosprey and included in the spooky new MIST1024 artpack collection.

A toothless cranium, scoured by the weather and blasted by the blowing of the sand in which it sits, gazes eyelessly out into eternity and contemplates how many thousands of years it will take before it also is worn down and reduced to grains of sand.

Mistigram: is it #teletext? Is it #ASCIIart? Yes. I'll tell you what it is: #vanitas. This #skull (in the sand, as the screen's title helpfully reminds us) is the handiwork of

atonalosprey (what did he do with the rest of the guy? You don't wanna know!), and was included in the spooky new MIST1024 artpack collection.

Emerging from a wobbly, distorted and glitchy television test pattern background of coloured stripes (white, yellow, cyan, green, purple, red, blue) is hazily visible the black silhouette of a person on the other side of the screen, pressing their hands and body against the glass in an attempt to get your attention and escape from their prison, posting the words HELP ME / PLEASE / I AM TRAPPED alongside their shadow

Mistigram: there was never any doubt that this was going to be the first individual work from the creepy new MIST1024 artpack collection showcased, not least because it was the earliest piece of haunting art to stake its Halloween claim in our incoming directory, nearly a year ago. This #teletext screen, "Doomscroll", whose test pattern resonates sinisterly with Poltergeist and Videodrome, is a collaboration between two modern masters of constrained semigraphics,

littlebitspace and

atonalosprey.
