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.
Mistigram: this #pixelart screen by Pixelartfortheheart celebrates Team Ico's 2005 PlayStation2 game #ShadowOfTheColossus. It was included in our video games-themed MIST0921 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this GameFAQs-style #ASCIIart portrait of #Raz from #Psychonauts was made by GFascii and included in the video games-themed MIST0921 artpack collection released last year.
Mistigram: #DeepInTheCaribbean... congrats to Return to Monkey Island for winning the esteemed PC Game of the Year award at the Golden Joysticks. Keeping the mood going, here's the iconic #MeleeIsland vista from the intro to 1990's #SecretOfMonkeyIsland, drawn in #teletext by @Horsenburger and included in last year's video games-themed MIST0921 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this #teletext screen, drawn by Uglifruit, nominally celebrates a milestone of automobile travel in the UK, foregrounding a fun bit of trivia to delight VLC fans and old denizens of TABNet: the first #TrafficCone in Britain! This piece was included in the MIST1120 artpack collection released two years ago this month.
Mistigram: this #pixelart tangle of gigantic wyrm heads, some combination of a dragon and a hydra, likely spells bad news for the campers at bottom right. It was drawn by Chuppixel and included in our MIST1118 artpack collection released four years ago this month.
Mistigram: this is a highly characteristic specimen of piquANSI's #asemicwriting, enshrined into #asciiart box-drawing characters. This piece was included in our MIST1118 artpack collection released four years ago this month.
Mistigram: this #teletext screen -- part abstract composition, part architectural floor-plan layout -- was drawn by Jellica Jake and included in the MIST1118 artpack collection released four years ago this month.
Mistigram: possibly as close to "ANSI Academy" as we're going to get, here's an important public building, seemingly from the 8bitMUSH at ansiart.com, drawn in #ANSIart (maybe probably #FANSI actually) by Sassafras. This piece was included in the MIST1118 artpack collection released four years ago this month.
Mistigram: I misspoke -- I said I'd be sharing three Illarterate #teletext screens on the #MaxHeadroomIncident of signal hijacking that took place 35 years ago today in the Chicago area, but though he has drawn a third, instead here's a new one I caught from Teletextr, in which #MaxHeadroom, like some ghost in the shell, eerily emerges from the Ceefax frontpage headlines, glitching everything he touches. "I still see the X!"
Mistigram: here, for the first time in #ATASCII (the #textmode character set of #Atari 8-bit computers) in one of our artpacks, Illarterate revisits the #MaxHeadroomIncident of pirate broadcasting that took place 35 years ago today, ironically playing on the #MaxHeadroom character's then-role as a Coca-Cola brand ambassador. This screen was included in last month's MIST1022 artpack collection.
Mistigram: a disconcerting image, this is a monochrome #teletext reproduction of a frame from the #MaxHeadroomIncident, an unsolved pirate broadcast that took place 35 years ago today with the help of a sheet of corrugated metal & a rubber #MaxHeadroom mask. Illarterate is a huge celebrant of this #cyberpunk moment in history and this is the first of three images by him on the subject we will be sharing with you today. This was included in the MIST1120 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this minimalist #pixelart portrait of principled hacker #LauriLove was drawn by The Elk and included in the MIST1119 artpack collection released three years ago this month.
