Mistigram: Introducing the MIST0424 artpack collection, returning to the museums and galleries of the world and adapting their cultural treasures of visual art to the low-resolution idiom of textmode art and vintage computing. Featuring just shy of a hundred screens, you can download the pack via mistigris.org or peruse its contents through your favorite web gallery!

Mistigram: Today AdeptApril observes #Zipper Day in #ANSIart, celebrating the little fastener that could. It may not hold the fabric of the universe together, but it does hold the fabric of your jeans together and that's not nothing!

Mistigram: a blast from the past, here's a Mist promo we hadn't thought about since its release exactly 29 years ago -- but couldn't forget after Misfit featured it in today's @sixteen_colors Artist of the Day. It's a grim, gory specimen in high resolution #pixelart graphics, drawn for us by our area code 604 colleague Azagoth of UNiON, released in their UNI-0495 artpack collection. Be careful on that "S", it's a doozy!

Mistigram: Faster than a speeding bullet... More powerful than a locomotive... Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound... it seems that today is National #Superhero Day, observed in #ANSIart here by AdeptApril! I don't know if this couple of super characters know Superman, but I think they may well go to the same tailor.

Mistigram: AdeptApril has used a signal lamp to transmit the theme of this #ANSIart screen appropriately, for #MorseCode Day!

[mistfunk]

Mistigram: AdeptApril observes an occasion today in #ANSIart you may not have been aware was in effect: it's #Alien Day! (I sure hope it's the "we come in peace" variety, not the "in space, no one can hear you scream" kind.)

[mistfunk]

Mistigram: what would life be without it? (I don't know, but it sure wouldn't be pretty!) Today AdeptApril uses #ANSIart to observe #DNA Day, where we celebrate our favorite combination of adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine.

Mistigram: this #ANSIart screen by AdeptApril observes the World Day for Laboratory Animals. (Depicted is a #LabRat being trained to solve the Daily Struggle / Two Buttons meme.)

[mistfunk]

Mistigram: you can do what you like today, but tonight is reserved for a good read. AdeptApril reminds us with this #ANSIart screen that it's World #Book night!

[mistfunk]

Mistigram: congratulations to @checo.eco of Las #HermanasDelPerroMagnético for winning this past weekend's Blender improvised computer art competition with this #ANSIart interpretation of the topics DRAGON / HOT YOGA / GROW OP. It's a strikingly non-canonical interpretation of #Falcor the Luck Dragon from #theNeverendingStory but it's a great fit! If you're curious how the other entries turned out, you can check them out via the @sixteen_colors web gallery at https://16colo.rs/pack/blndr2024b/

Mistigram: they say that April is the cruelest month, which often most applies when you want to put on your beach clothes and log some quality time in the sun. AdeptApril recognizes the official weather of this month in this animated #ANSIart screen, celebrating #AprilShowers. (Cheer up, they bring May flowers!)

[mistfunk]

Mistigram: yesterday was about depressants, today it's stimulants to get us back on track! AdeptApril uses the medium of #ANSIart to illustrate the blossom of the Camellia sinensis plant, from which we derive #tea leaves. One lump or two?

[mistfunk]

Mistigram: It's late in the day but not yet too late to find a quiet little spot in nature and emulate AdeptApril's #ANSIart celebration of #420. #NORML

[mistfunk]

Mistigram: the words for this weekend's Blender improvised art competition have been announced! In deference to the occasion of 4/20, we challenge you to incorporate all three topics of DRAGON / HOT YOGA / GROW OP into your contest entry. General Blender details at https://mistigris.org/blender/blend.html , submission countdown (as of press time, you have about 22.5 hours) at https://lazarusblocks.com/blender/

[mistfunk]

Mistigram: start melting butter in that pan, because today AdeptApril celebrates everyone's second-favorite allium, #Garlic, in the conspicuously odour-free medium of #ANSIart!

[mistfunk]

Mistigram: may I have your attention, please! Today's AdeptApril #ANSIart screen observes an important event (that might, in turn, be observing you back) -- #Velociraptor Awareness Day. But please be warned: awareness of the velociraptor may not be sufficient to ensure your safety...

"You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the other two 'raptors you didn't even know were there."

[mistfunk]

Mistirgam: @zirroneous of Fire Graphics was awarded second place for the most recent Blender improvised computer art competition, with this long #ANSIart interpretation of the topics MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS / ROBBERY / ARRAKIS. We are hosting another Blender this weekend, Apr 20-21, on channel #blender on the EFNet. You are all welcome to particpate! Broad details at https://mistigris.org/blender/blend.html
