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

@Packetcat "Video is currently unavailable". ?

@ThePsyOfLife Sadly the artist appears to have retired from that strip, but he left a substantial body of work before he threw in the towel!

@Packetcat There are teletext image conversion tools but the technology is not ready for prime time.

@Packetcat While he may have some tool assistance in his kit of artist materials, TeletextR ("one who teletexts") is indeed an individual, an evangelist of the strange historic medium who can be found at https://twitter.com/TeletextR

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.

@Packetcat We have a lot of tracker music in our back catalogue from the '90s, but there's never been a satisfactory way of sharing the tunes over social media, so we just wave our hands and make vague reference to it.

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.

@ThePsyOfLife Another artist who worked in a similar idiom was (te)XTComics, whose work was very similar but more framed after western comic strips with gags: https://www.instagram.com/xtcomics/

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.

@ThePsyOfLife anyhow, if you like this stuff, the artist has more in this style for miles at https://instagram.com/kurogao96

@ThePsyOfLife typewriter art is indeed an important precedent to this strain of textmode art. Fortunately in the era of text editors, we are free to experiment with cut and paste! The emoji element adds another dimension as to a fixed width canvas, all the mini-pictures are merely additional characters that can be "typed" into place.

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.
