Greetings to our friends here at CounterSocial. We gave your platform a fair shake and for the time being must conclude that it is not a great fit for what we do here. Perhaps someday we'll return, but in the meantime if you'd like to keep abreast of our activities, in addition to the outlets mentioned below, our work can be found for the time being on the Mistfunk Twitter and Tumblr accounts, the Mistigris computer arts group on Facebook, and of course at www.mistigris.org
Mistigram: this screen, of the #Peanuts animal pals #Snoopy and #Woodstock drawn in a scribbly, loose hand, was drawn in #teletext by @horsenburger and included in the comics-themed MIST0720 artpack collection. This concludes today's string of #Schultz100 tribute posts.
Mistigram: this #Lego #pixelart #Peanuts scene, featuring #CharlieBrown, #Snoopy and #Woodstock, was made by @lego_colin and included in the comics-themed MIST0720 artpack collection. We share it today in honour of #Schultz100. #HappinessIsAWarmPuppy
Mistigram: this #pixelart group portrait of the cast from the 1985 movie #TheGoonies (including #SeanAstin, #JoshBrolin, #CoreyFeldman, #KeHuyQuan, #KerriGreen and, well, the rest of them) was drawn by _Chuppixel and included in the cinema-themed MIST0920 artpack collection. #GooniesNeverSayDie.
Mistigram: a little bit of #teletext humour here, this screen by teletextr adapts the poster art for the 1990 film adaptation of Tom Clancy's book #TheHuntForRedOctober, starring #SeanConnery. This piece was included in the movies-themed MIST0920 artpack collection.
Mistigram: Imagine Giorgio Moroder and Irene Cara (RIP) coming up on the stereo as you gaze upon this #pixelart portrait of #JenniferBeals as #AlexOwens in the 1983 movie #Flashdance. This piece, drawn by @StephanRewind, was included in the cinema-themed MIST0918 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this #ANSIart #THX logo was drawn in a generous guest appearance by The Knight of Fuel for our film-themed MIST0918 artpack collection. It kicked off the teaser trailer video clip announcing the pack's release complete with a sine-wave THX sound Cthulu whipped up in a .MOD-tracker, which fortunately for you can't be heard over this still image. #TheAudienceIsListening.
Mistigram: this is a #PerlerBead #pixelart adaptation of the cover art to #PrimalScream's 1991 album #Screamadelica, made by Smorltork. This piece was included in the MIST0121 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this jazzy jam scene -- featuring a sexy saxman, some rhythmic hand percussion, a cool cat tickling the keys on a baby grand piano and vocal backup by birds and frogs already present at their outdoor stage -- was drawn with #emoji in #ASCIIart by @kurogao96. It was included in the music-themed MIST0121 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this #PETSCII adaptation to the cover art to the single of #DepecheMode's 1983 song #WalkingInMyShoes, drawn by @SnakePETsken. It was included in the music-themed MIST0119 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this is an adaptation of the cover art to the 1987 album #LouderThanBombs by #TheSmiths, here tweaked by artist @pixard_neh to pertain to his chosen medium of #pixelart. (The album art is a photo of British playwright #ShelaghDelaney originally published in the Saturday Evening Post.) This piece was included in the music-themed MIST0121 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this #pixelart conversion of the cover art to #OingoBoingo's 1981 debut album #OnlyALad was drawn by @8bit_poet and included in the music-themed MIST0119 artpack collection.
Mistigram: in addition to all the fanart our science fiction-themed artpacks accumulate, there is also quite a bit of original imagery, much of it coming from the desk of Blippypixel. This #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen is titled "Set The Controls", implying the Pink Floyd song whose name continues "(For The Heart Of The Sun)", alluded to in the Disaster Area chapters of Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy. It was included in the MIST0519 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this is a close-up #teletext portrait of alien lagomorph warrior #BuckyOHare, drawn by @Horsenburger. To avoid redundancy, we never included it in an artpack -- but you can enjoy it on social media today.
Mistigram: this #Lego #pixelart portrait of #AsukaLangleySoryu from #NeonGenesisEvangelion was made by @Farrell_Lego and included in the science fiction-themed MIST0520 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this #PETSCII portrait of #CharlizeTheron as #ImperatorFuriosa in 2015's #MadMaxFuryRoad was drawn by SnakePETsken and included in the science fiction-themed MIST0521 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this Blippypixel #teletext screen, so minimalist as to be practically diagrammatic, is inspired by the #Carousel ritual in the 1976 #LogansRun movie. This piece was included in the science fiction-themed MIST0521 artpack collection.
Mistigram: Dr. Jim Gerrie of Cape Breton University ports small BASIC games to the TRS-80 MC-10 at a tireless pace. Often this involves #textmode character graphics. Here you see his simple splash screen for his conversion of Keith Campbell's #VespozianAffair. This screen was included in the video games-themed MIST0921 artpack collection. If you like, you can catch up with his latest ports at http://jimgerrie.blogspot.com/
Mistigram: usually you only see this one when your Internet connection has conked out, but fear not: if you see this now, everything is working as it should. It's the #DinosaurGame from #GoogleChrome, which usually turns up when users attempt to use the web browser to connect to a remote website while offline. This one was drawn in #ASCIIart by littlebitspace and was included in the video games-themed MIST0921 artpack collection.
