A clean human skull, formed entirely out of gothic letters and punctuation marks, meets the viewer s gaze dead-on.

Mistigram: this elegant #textmode #skull, given rather more texture through use of a remapped #ASCIIart font than the ANSI bonehead it appeared alongside in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection, is of course the handiwork of

littlebitspace.

Mistigram: this #PETSCII illustration by

littlebitspace, 'The Last Gambit', presents an existential scene, all of us kings in our games of #chess, all doomed to #checkmate. This piece was included in the spooky MIST1024 artpack collection released one year ago.
A skull sits on a chess board, casting behind it the shadow of a crowned head.

If you take your time and are mindful of their centres of gravity, you can balance a human skull in the space between two other human skulls, nested in the gaps between three lower human skulls.

Mistigram: one person's composition is another tribunal's evidence of war crimes. This artfully-arranged #PETSCII pyramid of human skulls is the handiwork of

littlebitspace, resonant with his deck of skeletal Tarot cards. It was included in the spooky MIST1022 artpack.

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

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.

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.

All lined up in a row in the starry expanses of the cosmos are a small red dwarf, a tiny blue planet, a slightly larger dead red world, a blue-green sphere that looks a lot like the Earth, and a giant round skull

Mistigram: this #textmode art screen by

littlebitspace, "Interplanetary", figured prominently in last month's spooky MIST1024 artpack collection, because... wtf! So there's a cosmic conjunction of celestial spheres, fine! But what's up with the colossal, planet-sized skull? Is there an immense headless torso somewhere out there in orbit around Jupiter? Does the skull have a molten core, an atmosphere even? Every answer opens the door to weirder questions.

A close-up view of a dry, bony fleshless skull, shaded in its eye and nose openings, with a mystical glyph of unknown (but presumably unwholesome) meaning drawn on what was once its forehead.

Mistigram: you can practically feel the texture of old dry bone beneath your fingertips looking at this custom #PETSCII illustration of a #skull by

littlebitspace. What's with the glyph drawn on its forehead? And why is it described as a "mask"? Some questions are better left unanswered. This piece was included in the spooky new MIST1024 artpack collection.

A toothless cranium, scoured by the weather and blasted by the blowing of the sand in which it sits, gazes eyelessly out into eternity and contemplates how many thousands of years it will take before it also is worn down and reduced to grains of sand.

Mistigram: is it #teletext? Is it #ASCIIart? Yes. I'll tell you what it is: #vanitas. This #skull (in the sand, as the screen's title helpfully reminds us) is the handiwork of

atonalosprey (what did he do with the rest of the guy? You don't wanna know!), and was included in the spooky new MIST1024 artpack collection.

Mistigram: just in time for #Halloween, here comes the spooky new MIST1024 artpack collection full of seasonal computer art on dark themes. Browse it on 16colo.rs or download it for local enjoyment on your device.

Its FILE_ID.DIZ illustration pictured here, "Silent Scream", recently won its creator littlebitspace first place in the IBM PC #ASCIIART compo at the Flashparty demoparty.

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

littlebitspace and was included in the spooky MIST1022 artpack collection released two years ago this month.

A fleshless skull sits in a young man s hand, looking back into his unseen face as he contemplates mortality. Behind them are visible the folds of red velvet stage curtains.

Mistigram: "Alas, poor #Yorick! I knew him, Horatio. A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy." You may recall this boney character from Act 5 Scene 1 of William Shakespeare's #Hamlet. His remains were illustrated in #teletext by

atonalosprey and included in last year's spooky MIST1023 artpack collection.

Against a tessellating wallpaper of little grey skulls on black, curvaceous white letters spell out the word death with the letterforms somehow reading the same forwards and backwards.

Mistigram: this deathly #textmode #ambigram was drawn by

littlebitspace and included in last year's spooky MIST1023 artpack collection.

Four yellow skulls, facing the viewer, occupy a two by two grid, each cell offering a different garish combination of background and detail colours.

Mistigram: whatever your favorite iconic subject, it makes for an excellent fit in #AndyWarhol's serially repetitive, garishly tinted #popart style.

littlebitspace here shares with us textmode illustrations of skulls (possibly current portraits of Marilyn Monroe!) using the #PETSCII character set. This piece was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

Mistigram: I don't know if this #pirate #skull is a colleague of the Ghost Pirate LeChuck but if not they're definitely at least collegues in the same industry! This #ANSIart screen was adapted from a perler bead pattern (the original has a bit more seaweed in the background) by DW of Dark Systems BBS and was included in the MIST1022 artpack collection released one year ago this month.
A dried up old skull leers at the viewer with glowing yellow lights flickering in its hollow eye sockets, while grimacing with crooked, rotten teeth. It wears a kerchief pirate-style across the top of its boney noggin.

Mistigram: "I cannot tell a lie -- I've been dead for 224 years." I can't share a great deal of insight into precisely why

atonalosprey created a brief series of digital illustrations depicting US Presidents without their flesh on ("Dead Presidents", presumably), but nonetheless here is the first on the list, #GeorgeWashington. (If you ask me, there are too many of his own teeth in this portrait.) This piece was included in the spooky MIST1022 artpack collection released one year ago this month.
A fancy gentleman from colonial times, wearing an ascot and fluffy white powdered hairstyle, turns and grins for the camera. Oh, also his face is a skinless rictus of bone and enamel.
