Any idiot can push the analogue into a computer, but it takes a sublime idiot savant to drag the digital, kicking and screaming, out of the computer and into the world of the analog. youtube.com/user/antonvanoosbree / soundcloud.com/anton-van-oosbree   -- Awesome Angela of Sleepy Stitch does in real life what many of us do virtually: arranging mosaics of coloured picture elements into more than the sum of their parts. An avowed "nerdy narcoleptic", her cottage industry helps to defray the cost of medical treatment not covered by insurance. In Her Own Words: "I got my bachelors of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute... during which I got diagnosed with cancer My health is a constant battle both physically and emotionally, but creating art is the only thing that keeps me calm and allows me to escape into it away from the realities that suck." I think she just said a mouthful, folks! instagram.com/awesomeangela13 / facebook.com/sleepystitch   -- Mistigris is a few months older than Cookieheart, but classic themes possess an eternal appeal to this Colombian artist, who works in both sketchbook and pixelart idioms. We plunder her back catalogue this month for celebrations of Spring, which is just about in full effect in Canada -- just as Autumn is setting in on her side of the Equator! facebook.com/artbycookieheart / instagram.com/cookieheart_ -- A poet of extremes who can mean love when he says "death" and death when he says "love", our beloved ragman Crowkeeper has voluntarily toiled beneath minimalist constraints so severe that Twitter's word limit is as nothing to him. In 2015 Mistigris digitally reprinted his 1999 collection "Scarecrow Poetics", but he is even more active writing today. twitter.com/crowkeep -- A man of the world, Dubaiwalla has recently decided to begin paying closer attention to the endless buffet served up to his eyes and take up photography. instagram.com/dubaiwalla / hooloovoo.aminus3.com -- A genuine professional teletext illustrator two decades hence, Steve "Horsenburger" Horsley has recently returned to the game for love of the art: "It's kind of frustrating to discover you are good at something only to realise it's pointless in today's world, but I just really like doing it so I am going to carry on." We feel your pain, Steve! At his website you can commission original teletext creations from him, so don't delay to get your own piece of textmode art history! horsenburger.com -- Dan "Illarterate" Farrimond is a multimedia artist from Wigan, UK. Despite attempts to modernise, he will forever be known as 'That Guy That Does Teletext Art'. But whoever said that's a bad thing? teletextart.tumblr.com / danfarrimond.co.uk / portfolio.illarterate.co.uk -- Every medium has several modes: a pre-modern approach, a clean "modern" style, and a post-modern detournement, often in the "glitch" idiom. In Jellica Jake, teletext has found its glitch m(a/on)ster! It is such a simple 3-bit medium there quite simply isn't the complexity needed for things to go really wrong, but somehow this artist, doing more with less, has found depths of texture to imply psychological profundity between the lines. twitter.com/jellicajake / instagram.com/jellica_______ / kittenrock.co.uk -- Arts Program Coordinator chez l'Ecole Canadienne Bilingue de Paris, painter Jordan Lyric is not the first person to appear in a Mistigris artpack after one of their siblings did, but in his case the delay has probably been the most pronounced. patreon.com/user?u=4842173 -- Kazunari "Kalcha" Naito represents the tip of an iceberg we know little of and understand still less of -- Japan's Shift_JIS parallel textmode art scene. His works are informed by his interests in '70s prog rock, jazz, and fine art. -- You won't see any of Mavrik's creative work in this archive, but there's a very good chance that the collection will have passed through his graciously-offered web hosting at mistigris.org en route to you, picking up from his historical facilitator role greasing the gears of Mist's KiTSCHNet echomail network from its home at Daemon's Gate BBS. daemonsgate.com -- Melodia doesn't need an artgroup, she is an artgroup. One more case of the parade continuing after the band stopped playing, courtesy of the bottomless music in her head she kept on keeping on -- and indeed, has never stopped. We are humbled by her continuing association with us, as to her, all we have to offer is drag factor! soundcloud.com/empressplay -- A veritable patron of the arts, Morgan Lee, longtime Mistigris textile consultant, graciously allowed us to release another needlepoint project this time around. instagram.com/morganleemcpherson -- Mr. Biffo is most likely the most famous individual to have appeared in a Mistigris artpack, being known by an entire generation of UK youth from the decade-long run of his Teletext video games magazine Digitizer. Turns out that he, also, couldn't escape the siren lure of his onetime medium and has somehow also been tricked out of teletext retirement for at least one final engagement. twitter.com/mrbiffo / digitiser2000.com -- The man, the myth... Mythical Man handily satisfies both categories. Long known for his prowess on the euphonium, visual art is a relatively recent development to which he has applied himself ardently. euphoniousmyth.tumblr.com / instagram.com/the_mythical_man -- Nail has been known for stacking blocks for Fire and The Legion in the past, and, since his return to the scene last year, is doing the very same with old friends in Blocktronics. Deeply rooted in the 16-color world of the Commodore 64, he's also been instrumental in bringing the Galza PETSCII art packs to the attention of its native platform's scene. @nail7 -- Nick Lakowski is a Vancouver based artist. He holds a BFA in studio art from Emily Carr University (2004) and an MFA in studio art from the University of British Columbia (2012). His work is grounded in a commitment to grassroots community projects, including experience as a teacher, muralist, volunteer, board member, curator, and events facilitator for a variety of local schools, businesses, festivals, DIY art spaces, and artist-run galleries. His current work with acrylics draws anxiously and humorously from the overly deterministic discipline of neurobiology, the world of commercial painting and paint manufacturing, various indexes and orders of colour, the redactive procedure of painting itself, and a mystical hysteria towards resuscitation and intensive care medicine. nlakowski.tumblr.com / iheartlocalart.ca/artists-2/nick-lakowski -- Polyducks (Ben Jones) is an artist and web & game programmer living in greater Manchester, UK. His interests are in tile-based, PETSCII and pixel artwork using limited palettes. Often presents his bio in the third person.   pixeljoint.com/p/125346.htm / polyducks.co.uk / twitter.com/polyducks -- Susan Cormier, Queen of Crows, has long explored -- first through poetry, then videopoems -- the internal life, dark but not unilluminated. -- An Amiga .MOD-tracker hero formerly of EuphoniX, having worked his way through more than a few game development studios in the meantime Redeye (at one time aka Marauder) appears in Mistigris as a cultivator of abstract themes in photography. instagram.com/redeyephoto -- Ed "Starstew" Stastny is that rare synthesis suggested in the two-word phrase "computer artist", practicing a species of net.art at SITO continually since even prior to the establishment of Mistigris. Having mastered (and subsequently discarded) so many styles and approaches, wearing the masks of a half-dozen faux handles he could easily masquerade as an entire artgroup. (Or has he in fact been doing this... all along?) instagram.com/starstew / starstew.tumblr.com -- Carl "TeletextR" Attrill represents Mistigris' continuing wave of introducing the great public textmode art tradition -- teletext -- to the underground computer artscene. teletextr.blogspot.com / twitter.com/that_other_Carl -- Every time I include her in an artpack, I find myself completely rewriting Theresa Oborn's bio, as though I might somehow hew closer to the truth, like a darts player hoping to hit a bullseye. She draws and sculpts, and perhaps the work speaks for itself. theresaoborn.com -- A 16-bit guy in a 64-bit world, VileR grew up when baud rates were lower and signal/noise ratios higher. A bizarre pixelling accident in the mid-'90s left him trapped in an artistic timewarp bubble somewhere on the inert fringes of the demo-/artscene. However, he was recently seen crawling out of the woodwork and into projects such as the 8088 MPH demo, and may occasionally be observed busying himself with nameless and unspeakable oldskool-related machinations. 8088mph.blogspot.com -- Aurelien "Wasabim" Vaillant is a French retrogamer of the Atari ST variety who pays homage to and celebrates his beloved nostalgia by mashing up classic box and sprite art with stock photography and computer FX. If you like what he brings to the games room, please do note that he is available for projects. wasabim.com / twitter.com/wasabimgames -- MISTIGRIS DISTRIBUTION SITES: telnet://bbs.inktwo.com:23 telnet://guardian.synchro.net pc.textmod.es/crew/mistigris/ sixteencolors.net artpacks.org mistigris.org instagram.com/mistfunk twitter.com/mistfunk tumblr.com/mistfunk SAUCE00MIST0717 Memberlist Cthulu / Nail Mistigris 20170629é+P IBM VGA
