framed in the darkness by small architectural elements, pieces of rooftops, walls, doorways and hedges are artfully arranged to depict what might be characterised as the skull of a town golem.

Mistigram: you may recall our sharing of [profile] littlebitspace's "Castle Kit" font a bit over a week ago. As it turns out, castles are not the only thing you can draw in #textmode with its collection of remapped #PETSCII glyphs, and I rather suspect that drawing a #skull is the artist's personal "Hello World" for any new creative environment. From the recent unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection, we give you: Castlehead.

A red-eyed white cat(girl) with bangs stares in surprise

Mistigram: this big-eyed #ANSIart feline is #Shampoo, a cursed Amazon, from a 1994 installment of Rumiko Takahashi's #Ranma 1/2 manga. It was drawn by Zeus II, apparently for use as a BBS logoff screen, and was included in last month's unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection. I hope you like cats, because there are a lot more on their way!

In the blackness, short purple letters read TEXT MODE... beneath them, against thin purple lines, chunky, cursive letters spell the word mistigris in white.

Mistigram: this is an alternate, pointier, version of a Unicode #textmode promo [Bad username or site: mc @ fresher] kindly drew for us in last month's unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection, riffing off the name and logo of the '80s reality TV precursor #UnsolvedMysteries for some oldschool flavour!

Arising from woodland scrub and a small farmer s plot emerges the contours of a castle s walls and towers, behind the name of the artist littlebitspace, spelled out architecturally.  Behind it all the night sky twinkles with stars and glows with clouds charged with faint mystical energy.

Mistigram: "Castle Kit" is one of three remapped #PETSCII fonts created by [profile] littlebitspace. As its name suggests, its 8x8px blocks are intended for use illustrating scenes of monumental medieval architecture with specialised textmode semigraphics. This screen, demonstrating both its use and abuse, was included in the new, unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

A stubby-toothed grey alien head hangs without gravity in the middle of the darkness between a pointy Mist logo above and some abstract alien gang signs below.

Mistigram: Take us to your leader! This creepy #ANSIart alien dude may have been a better fit for May's science fiction artpack, but instead we gladly tapped CoaXCable's offering for infofile use in last month's unthemed MIST0625 collection.

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

Mistigram: somewhere out in the wilds of London, [profile] 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.

A blocky greyscale portrait of a woman with her hair pulled back, glasses perched atop her head, with several accent pieces of jewelry adorning her ears and nose.

Mistigram: this greyscale #ANSIart portrait of redditor HumanEyeballs was drawn by Nitron and included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

Golden Gothic letters reading DurDraw in a calligraphic style gleam and glitter before the blade of a longsword shining behind them in the darkness.

Mistigram: MC Fresher makes his text art creations in indyjoenz's tool #DurDraw, and he thinks it's so great he designs a lot of promotional artwork for it, using it. This badass piece, "Durngeons & Drawgons", was included in the new, unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

On the left foreground, a knight s face-obscuring helmet confronts us in deep shadow.  Behind him, at right, a castle keep flies a pennant in the breeze.  Down the centre runs the word Kingdoms in purple and at top right, End in red.

Mistigram: this medieval #ANSIart screen, presumably promo or actual interface for the BBS located at https://www.kingdomsendbbs.net/ , was drawn by Zeus II and 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, [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.

Two veiny and discoloured organic humanoid forms oriented toward each other dissolve their faces into a stream of ones and zeroes, yielding an empty space between them in the shape of a stylised heart

Mistigram: much like its meatspace analogue, online love in digital cyberspace can be messy... but can still be well worth exploring! This #ANSIart screen by [profile] mavenmob was included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

A winged, horned demon perches, gargoyle-like, atop the corner of an angled mini-disc, above a gothic mistfunk logo drawn entirely in text characters.  (All of it is drawn in these characters, not just the logo.)

Mistigram: this metal af newschool #ASCIIart promo for our fine selves was drawn by Deluks and included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

Emerging from the middle of a square grid of little emoji cloud puffs (or mist, if you will) are letters spelled out in flame, reading FUNK.  Hence, mistfunk.

Mistigram: a little celebration drawn unprompted on the occasion of MIST-30 dropping, this #emoji-based mISTFUNK text art logo (well, you see the funk emerging from the mist) is the handiwork of glitchy guest genius xero and was included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

A funky fly afro dude in shades struts past a brick wall with MIST FUNK painted on the wall, groovin to the tunes spilling out of the boombox on his shoulder.

Mistigram: Blippypixel wasn't the only one with graffiti in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection -- here's 2Stoned's funky take on ConsoleJockey's #mistfunk #ANSIart template from MIST-30, used as an infofile header. Slap muh fro! Ah be bad!

a red-haired woman poses in lipstick and lace

Mistigram: this double-wide, double-tall #teletext portrait was a study by [profile] atonalosprey, included in the new, unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

An angular bald eagle soars, wings outstretched, before a rippling American flag.  (Very, very ironically!)

Mistigram: here's a #textmode celebration for today made in #DurDraw with a healthy dose of irony by MC Fresher. We're number one! (in school shootings, obesity and citizen incarceration!) 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!

Written in stylish white letters against a black background, framed by curlicue textmode ornaments above, below and in the corners is written the phrase Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.

Mistigram: when most artists design a logo, they don't design every single letterform in the alphabet. Here [profile] littlebitspace demonstrates a #pangram, a phrase intended to demonstrate all the letters. This piece was included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

A colossal pale letter M looms ominously.

Mistigram: we aimed to release an unthemed collection of underground computer art in June and, well, it was time to make good on that intention! If you like you can browse it via https://16colo.rs/pack/mist0625 or download it locally from mistigris.org... or just sit back as we share highlights over social media. Catch you in July!
