Mistigram: The oil paintings of Nick Lakowski played a big role in our revival over the past decade, playfully demonstrating that if the subject is a good fit, you can make incredible computer art without benefit of computers. Case in point: this still from a 1988/89 advertisement for Vendex's #HeadStart computers, starring pro wrestler #KingKongBundy. This piece was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.

Mistigram: this sour puss, rendered in #teletext by atonalosprey, is a vintage meme dating back some 20 years! Supreme ruler of all cats, it disapproves of your thread on the GameFAQs forum. This screen was included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection.

Mistigram: KnowYourMeme.com tells us that the #ChubbyBubblesGirl image macro has been with us since debuting on 4chan back in 2009 -- a veritable epoch in Internet time -- but though she has run from many a dire Photoshop scenario, I don't know if she's ever before fled from an unruly glob of paint. (That said, it was only a matter of time before she spoiled some painter's canvas! niklkovfska simply had the honour of being among the first to capture her feverish little footprints running across his palette.) This painting was included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection on themes of technology and internet culture.
