A flock of bats flies through the moody night sky between a hilltop castle and a full moon, radiating moonbows.

Mistigram: a flock of bats flutters from the haunted towers of a castle out into the moonlight over the moorland. This #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen was made by [profile] blippypixel and included in the spooky MIST1023 artpack collection released two years ago this month.

The screen is filled with the spiralling outlines of a slowly-shinking box, which starts out drawn large in shades of blue, then rotates slightly as it works its way into the greens, ever decreasing, and so on into yellows, oranges and reds as it dwindles hypnotically away into the centre.

Mistigram: many years ago, [profile] blippypixel was in possession of a colourful framed poster of some geometrical computing algorithm's output. It was hung proudly above his sofa, and one day for no apparent reason it fell off the wall and was destroyed in splintered wood and broken glass when it crashed into the floor. After 10 years of many false starts and fruitful distractions, this year he finally succeeded at rolling his own reproduction of the doomed poster using the #BBCMicro's Acorn Graphics Extension ROM -- the entire reason he got into making computer art to begin with. (That poster has a lot to answer for!) This piece was included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

For the public s protection, a corner wall at a crosswalk, covered in graffiti, has been cordoned off behind three stripey traffic cones.

Mistigram: this is but one of [profile] blippypixel's suite of tablet-fingerpainted #BBCMicro high resolution graphics adaptations of actual #graffiti works seen out and about in London recently. (We shared this one first for traffic cone-related reasons.) It was included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection!

A boxy robot on a blue field stands, bones lit up neon against a black, colour-speckled sky, and emits beams of bright colourful light from its eyes and hips.  The artificial Care Bear Stare trials have begun!

Mistigram: every year since 2018, we've shared a collection of science fiction-inspired computer art in May. We haven't quite gotten around to it yet this year, but there are still a few days left!

A mainframe computer circa 1965 entails a room full of machinery boasting flashing lights and controls on front panels alongside spinning reels of magnetic tape.  Just don t press the big red button!

This piece was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.

A person wearing a VR headset looks up into a sunny vista of natural splendour.  (Not pictured: the grotty squalor of the room in which their meat rots.)

Mistigram: the smell of fresh grass, the feel of the warm sun on your face and the wind blowing through your hair... [profile] blippypixel wonders if one can get away with trading it all away for its mere appearance in this #BBCMicro hirez screen, 'Choice', included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.

A black cat, green eyes flashing directly at the viewer, sits atop a house s chimney, emerging from a misty fog.  Behind it, a swarm of bats flutter before the full moon, and yellow stars twinkle in the night sky.

Mistigram: cats and bats and stars, oh my! This #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen, titled "the Witching Hour", was drawn by [profile] blippypixel and included in the spooky MIST1020 artpack collection released four years ago this month.

A sweaty-faced man in a darkened blue room, head covered in unruly tangles of hair and cables beneath a helmet of sorts, desperately looks around unseeing through flaming red goggles.

Mistigram: this [profile] blippypixel #BBCMicro graphics screen, "Meteyeverse", strikes me as the Ludovico technique from A Clockwork Orange by way of Neuralink trials today. It was included in last month's science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

A break in the clouds releases an incredible burst of sunbeams onto rolling hills and majestic trees behind a grassy green.

You are on the information superhighway off-ramp to Cybertown!

Mistigram: gotta make a move to a town that's right for me... gotta keep it movin', keep it groovin' with some energy. This #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen of #Cybertown (that must be the most meta neighbourhood of Geocities) was drawn by [profile] blippypixel and included in last month's science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

We see a flat little zippy spacecraft from behind as it propels itself at a jaunty angle away from blue skyscrapers and hills rising out of a dusty yellow plain, through the cyan sky and into the starry purple and pink cosmos above.

Mistigram: the palette of unearthly pastel colours help to establish an otherworldly ambiance in this [profile] blippypixel #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen, "Afternoon Cruise". Here's hoping your weekend can soar to similar #vaporwave heights! This piece was included in the recent science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

A spacefaring vessel, viewed dimly from behind, leaves glowing astro-contrails in its wake as it blasts ahead into a rainbow-refracting diffusion pattern among the colourful stars and the vast darkness between them.

Mistigram: In honour of the Stonewall riots of 1969, #Pride has traditionally been celebrated in the month of June. This #BBCMicro hirez screen by [profile] blippypixel, titled "Time Traveler", has no explicit Pride content, but I like to take #rainbow iconography and run with it. (The depressing thing here is that we don't know if the traveler is going forward or backward in time to find their rainbow destination.) This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

Beneath a suddenly darkened sky, city lights twinkle uneasily as the illumination afforded by the sun is briefly blocked by the moon, leaving the darkened landscape looking up at a giant cosmic doughnut.

Mistigram: in keeping with today's zeitgeist of #totality, here's a #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen by [profile] blippypixel depicting the main event, cosmically speaking: a #TotalEclipse.
