A woman wears a very elaborate masked headdress like a sinister pagan four-masted sailing ship.

A dithered monochrome portrait of a man whose face pokes out of a great halo of magnificent hair, swaddled in loose, flowing garments and exploring his demons.

Mistigram: it's been an eventful ten days and the occasion ducked our notice for a week and a half, but in memoriam, here's a somber monochrome #teletext portrait of the late #SlyStone by [profile] blippypixel, included in last year's music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.

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: [profile] 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.

A heavily textured human cranium, chipped, cracked and weathered, stares hollowly back at the viewer as it reveals a tender shoot sprouting from a substantial crack at the top of its calvaria -- all in stark black and white.

Mistigram: this skullish monochrome #PETSCII exploration of the cycle of death and rebirth is unsurprisingly the handiwork of [profile] littlebitspace and was included in the spooky MIST1022 artpack collection released two years ago this month.

It was included in the spooky MIST1018 artpack collection released six years ago this month.
