#MIST1119

[mistfunk]

Mistigram: for our 25th-anniversary extravaganza back in MIST1119, four years ago, we invited computer artists to put their own spin on a logo template provided by j33p33. @jellica_______ made some great #teletext interpretations, then (presumably in collaboration with his colleague DataDoor) cooked up some wild animated #PETSCII variants of them. This is basically what we look like in our dreams.

Mistigram: #RememberRememberThe5thOfNovember... This take on the #GuyFawkes mask was drawn by @deep.one.insaniam on his #AcornElectron, in support of the Akron, Ohio chapter of #Anonymous, which operates an active copwatch program. This screen was released in the MIST1119 artpack collection released four years ago this month.

Mistigram: Here's one more take on the "do your own version of the Mistigris logo" exercise from our 25th anniversary five years ago. @NBreakfast heard a strange noise from the server farm under his desk, and what did he discover but an AR manifestation of our brand hovering in the air! It's been a while since we spontaneously manifested like that!

Mistigram: today at Sacramento's @chalkitupsac Festival, Skrubly reproduced, in sidewalk chalk, Banzo9420's ANSI art take on a j33p33 Mistigris logo outline we invited artists to finish "in their style" for our 25th anniversary back in the MIST1119 artpack collection. (Speaking of which, we should get another one of those going for our 30th anniversary this November!)

Mistigram: We caught our first glimpse of this character in our 2019 April Fool's artpack collection, "Ridin' QWERTY" in the passenger side of a pickup truck, but later in November of that year we were afforded a second visitation, this candid portrait apparently taken in a doctor's examination room.

This android's createor, Jhasen "Lawnjart" Cooper, died this week after a long illness. He is survived by many friends and his robotic child, who will have to hospitalise many, many children in order to uphold the Lawnjart family name: "An estimated 6,100 people have been treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries involving lawn darts from 1936 through 1978."

Mistigram: from our 25th anniversary MIST1119 artpack collection released four years ago this month, here's a #Lego model of the locally-produced best-in-class #GravisUltrasound sound card, a product of the feverishly nerdy mind of @bhaal_spawn.

Mistigram: a final follow-up to our tributes to Aaron Swartz yesterday, also from the MIST1119 artpack collection, here's one more monochrome #AcornElectron portait by The Elk, this one of the #Anonymous #OpStopSuicide campaign. Look after each other!

Mistigram: marking the tenth anniversary of the death of RSS, Creative Commons and Reddit innovator #AaronSwartz, we share this portrait drawn by The Elk in #AcornElectron high resolution graphics. His legacy is not forgotten. This piece was included in the MIST1119 artpack collection released four years ago.

Mistigram: in this monochrome #AcornElectron high resolution screen by @electrons_from_acorns, we see a hoodie-clad hacker, whose essence is defined by binary sequences, being constituted of packet-switched pixels and data points. It was included in last month's MIST1119 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/33U8X33
