A bearded man with long, rainbow hair sits at a desk in his lab before a flashing model, flasks and test tubes bubbling merrily away all around him.

Mistigram: this animated #BBCMicro high resolution graphics #pixelart loop of an #alchemist surrounded by his bubbling kit was drawn by

blippypixel and included in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection.

The tall towers of a very spooky, yet oddly rainbow-striped, stately country house reach into the foggy sky on a moonlit night.

Mistigram: this #teletext scene of a spooky mansion was drawn by

blippypixel and included in the, again, spooky MIST1019 artpack collection released six years ago this month.

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

A swirly-eyed yellow cat politely tips its hat, painted on a wall behind tall grass.

Mistigram: somewhere out in the wilds of London,

blippypixel encountered a #graffiti portrait of Hanna-Barbera's #TopCat cartoon character, and reproduced it as a #BBCMicro finger painting. This piece was included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

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,

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

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 swelling psychic nimbus is focused on one man s head.

Against the blue sky of the infinite cosmos, a giant colourful structure emerges from a colourful constructed landscape and twists off into the horizon beneath the gaze of several orbiting bodies.

Mistigram: I don't know if the quantum theory depicted is more wormhole than cosmic string, but regardless this cosmic #teletext scene was drawn by

blippypixel and included in the new, far-out science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

A pointillized featureless face peers out of a computer screen, fed by rainbow pipes of training data.

Mistigram: a longtime fan of HAL 9000,

blippypixel has been quite excited at the popular emergence of #AI helper agents and copilots, for better or for worse. What we see here is a #teletext portrait of "GePeet", his attempt at human-illustrating #GPT's description of its own appearance. This screen was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 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!

blippypixel #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen, "Comply", was included in last year's MIST0523 artpack collection.

An outlined hand extends a bottle of red wine and starts dispensing its contents into a wine glass well beyond its capacity to hold fluid.

Mistigram: if the Cola Wars discourse makes you feel like a madman, why not have a drink like someone absolutely deranged, and enjoy a bottle of red wine served in a glass? Truly my cup runneth over. This #teletext animation was made by

blippypixel and included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

Mistigram: I'm sorry, I posted the Pepsi logo yesterday and ... well, the #ColaWars are back on, it seems. Prepare yourselves for caffeine overdose and tooth decay. This #teletext portrait of a classic #CocaCola can was drawn by
