A friendly purple vampire wearing a monocle smiles at the viewer with a rainbow of colours undulating behind him.

_n1tr0n, who graciously put together the spooky new MIST1025 artpack collection in my stead, drew for it this #ANSIart portrait of Sesame Street's #CountVonCount, a promo for

sixteen_colors (16! 16 colors! Ah ah ah ah!) in homage to an endless parade of William Gibson-loving Count Zeroes in the digital underground of the '90s.

A big-haired biker escapes from the authorities on a prototype motorcycle.

nitron drew this #ANSIart illustration of #ShogoYahagi escaping with the Garland motorbike from the #Megazone23 #anime (or if you prefer, #MarkLandry stealing the #MODAT5 in #Robotech.) It was included in last year's SF-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

Mistigram: this #ANSIart portrait memorialises Charles "Lucky" Mendoza, Nitron's animal companion of some fifteen years. "Gangster, Friend, Lover of Fancy Feast." This piece was included in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

Two housecats with keen curiosity and perky whiskers, the nearer with grey fur, in front of one with a more orange colouration, crowd their faces out of the darkness into a grey viewing frame. They are named as Orion and Felix.

Mistigram: judging from their enthusiastic mustering, these bright-eyed characters, Nitron's buddies Orion and Felix, must have just heard their song being played on the wet food can opener. This #ANSIart group portrait was included in the new, cat-themed MIST0725 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.

A hollow-eyed man in deep shadow gazes toward the light with a neutral expression, to the left of him scrawled the words REMEMBER THE CANT

Mistigram: this desaturated small-scale #ANSIart illustration by Nitron, celebrating a 2015 episode, #RememberTheCant, of the SyFy series #TheExpanse, was included in last year's SF-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

On a white kitchen countertop, between a water-filled sink and a bottle of refreshing wine sits a white bowl filled with delicious and colourful fruit (eg. pear, lemon, apple, lime, banana, red grapes) under a window, showing a blue sky. On the wall behind it is exhibited a smaller recursive portrait of the same bowl of fruit.

Mistigram: this recursive #ANSIart #StillLife ("a painting of a bowl of fruit") was drawn by Nitron and included in the art gallery portion of our recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

A pale woman with big dark hair, pendulous white hoop earrings and a small mouth framed by red lips gazes toward the viewer.

Mistigram: you can communicate a lot of winter vibes with a cold palette of whites and greys, with maybe a splash of red for an accent. The green you can take or leave.

nitron drew this #ANSIart screen for this date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar.

In several rounds of developing permutations, we can see silhouettes of vessels and landmarks in the ocean are seen against the orange-red sky surrounding a setting sun.

Mistigram: This evocative nautical #ANSIart screen was drawn for today's date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar by

nitron. Here we get a privileged look at a series of work stages leading to the final version of the image at the bottom.

A propeller-driven airplane, looking very small against the vastness of the blue sky, releases a smoke trail as it dives down toward the glow of the sunset, showing its belly to the crowd.

Mistigram: to you, it's just an airplane. But the artist

_n1tr0n has actually flown it, and describes it as "Nancy, tail number 61672, is a 1950s era radial engine powered Nanchang CJ-6 fighter-trainer built by the Chinese Air Force." What can I say, every #ANSIart screen is worth a thousand words! This piece was included in the recent unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection.

A portrait of an impassive, unflappable lady pilot decked out in military kit and reflective aviator shades has been rendered exclusively in grey tones.

Mistigram: this greyscale #ANSIart portrait of #ColetteHiller as dropship pilot Corporal #ColetteFerro ("Fly the Friendly Skies" written on her helmet) in James Cameron's 1986 movie #Aliens was drawn by

_n1tr0n and included in last month's science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

A sleek zero-gravity racing vessel, looking like a vented grey wedge with blue edges and an opaque green cockpit, floats against a blue haze, caught by a camera with a very quick shutter speed.

Mistigram: this #ANSIart promo for the fictitious #Auricom Research Industries company (from Psygnosis' futuristic #wipEout racing game series) was drawn by

_n1tr0n and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection. It also was just announced as having won fourth place in the ANSI art compo at LA's recent LayerOne demoparty. Hats off to all the competitors!

Two sailboats, sails full of wind, speed along the calm water s surface. Superimposed against their desaturated image are a series of red, blue and yellow transparent rectangles.

Mistigram: The first #ANSIart screen we profile from the new #fineart-themed MIST0424 artpack collection is this composition by

_n1tr0n, a juxtaposition of #sailboat racing with the neo-plasticism of #DeStijl painter #PietMondrian. The artist/sailor states he depicts: "my favorite moment in a boat race, the approach to the windward mark... the mondrian colors are supposed to reflect the elements of the scene, the sea, the sun, the sky, the racing spirit of the crew in red... I drew that ANSI the day I decided to sell the boat, actually."

This image is secretly responsible for the specific timing of the release of our fine art collection, as tracking down the specific fate of a particular Nitron guest submission resulted in the discovery of an entire trove of worthwhile artworks on this theme that had been carefully stashed away and then forgotten about.

Palette-constrained portrait of a pale young woman with light skin, lit harshly against a white background, punctuated by her dark hair, cyan eyes and rich red lips.

Mistigram: This #ANSIart portrait of the recently-rediscovered #SophieEllisBextor, on a cover art variant of her 2000 #Spiller single #Groovejet, was drawn by our wildly talented guest star

_n1tr0n and included in the new music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection. If this ain't love... why does it feel so good?

Current Music: DJ Spiller feat. Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)
