A Transylvanian nobleman fixes the viewer with a magnetic stare and a raised eyebrow. In the background, bats flitter.

Mistigram: Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make! This #blockASCII / #ANSIart portrait of #BelaLugosi in Universal's 1931 film adaptation of #Dracula was drawn by

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

Mistigram: we've never released a .WAD, but in the wake of "DOOM: The Gallery Experience" perhaps we should try our hand at it. In the meantime, here's a stone cold #ASCIIart / #blockASCII Mistfunk logo drawn by

littlebitspace and used as an infofile header in the recent MIST-30 celebration artpack.

A gasoline pump drips fuel dangerously near by to a lit match, next to the phrase Life s A Gas.

Mistigram: this vaguely menacing #blockASCII illustration, #LifesAGas, is the handiwork of

axbmusic and was included in the recent MIST-30 artpack collection.

Mistigram: the Mistigris computer art collective turned 30 in 2024. Oops, almost ran out of time to celebrate it!

grymmjack provided this wild FILE_ID.DIZ imagery to announce the arrival of our thirtieth anniversary collection, now viewable at the 16colo.rs web gallery.

You ve all read Linda Harden s old 90s UseNet post The Physics of Santa Claus , ending in the phrase : In conclusion - If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he s dead now. Well, here s picture evidence.

Mistigram: for this date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar,

littlebitspace drew a magnificent and chilling #blockASCII portrait of the late Jolly Old St. Nick, apparently reduced to nowt but bones and beard following his magical night's impossible exertions.

Extreme close-up view of snowflakes in a blizzard allows us to observe that a tiny human skull sits at the precise centre of each one of them.

Mistigram: with aid of a microscope,

littlebitspace conducted some #blockASCII research investigating just why snowflakes are so cold in this screen from today's date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar. His report back: be very glad they are not warm.

It s cold and snowing outside, but the cat is curled up inside on the warm windowsill. Across the sill from it sits a fleshless human skull, defying the viewer to inquire after its backstory. (It can t answer, it s dead! The cat may know something, but it s not talking.)

Mistigram:

littlebitspace drew this cozy-but-not-relaxing #monochrome #blockASCII screen of an indoor view through a crowded window on a snowy day for this date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar. The house rule is: don't rub the cat's tummy.

Mistigram: For today's date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar,

littlebitspace drew a tiny 1-bit #textmode #pixelart design writ large in #blockASCII, of what appears to be a fool, jester or joker in the Mistigris poker vein previously explored.

A very stylized rendition of a figure in half-dark, half-light garments, wearing a two-pointed hat and leaning on a staff.

Before a rising full moon, a powerfully built lycanthrope holds its arms open, lifts its tail and bays full-throated to the sky

Mistigram: this small #ANSIart (or #blockASCII) quickie #werewolf illustration, 'Howl', in the monochrome pixelart style of EzeeShady, was a very welcome guest appearance by The Green Herring in last month's spooky MIST1024 artpack collection.

Like a mushroom cloud made of synthetic materials, the illuminated, swollen head of a floating station in low orbit around a gas giant emerges from the swirling clouds beneath.

Mistigram: We've successfully decrypted the signal emerging from the wormhole -- turns out it's an encrypted message, announcing that the annual science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection has arrived, as heralded by this handsome #blockASCII FILE_ID.DIZ illustration of #Bespin's #CloudCity from #TheEmpireStrikesBack, drawn by LDA.

Current Music: The Empire Strikes Back soundtrack - Lando's Palace

A clean-shaven man with white hair and glasses gazes back, bored, at the viewer.

Mistigram: this uncoloured #ANSIart (#blockASCII technically) portrait of pop artist #AndyWarhol is the handiwork of

axbmusic. It was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

Mistigram: this #ANSIart take on #MCEscher's 1935 lithograph #HandWithReflectingSphere (or #SelfPortraitInSphericalMirror) was drawn by

axbmusic. Slow but steady, he kept drawing underground computer artworks inspired by works of fine art over the four years since our last artpack on the subject, gradually motivating us to curate another one, culminating in the new MIST0424 collection.
A spiky-haired man contemplates a reflective orb held in the palm of his hand, recently removed from a padded box. Gazing into its surface, he reproduces what he sees therein -- himself and the furniture in the room in which he sits, curved as though viewed through a fish bowl -- using a computer keyboard.
