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   -- Artist, gamer, scientist... not necessarily in that order, Bhaal_Spawn is principally a graphite pencil artist, drawing for employers and smaller clients, but outside of the day job, has a love of science, sci-fi, fantasy and computer games. When relaxing, like most people they want to avoid work, but... still have a love of art. As for the particular mechanics of the #gamerhaikus series: "I write the haiku as a note, then take a screen shot, turning it into a picture. I crop it. Then you can draw on the picture with the markup tool in the iPhone pictures app! You get about 8 colours and 3 pen sizes and poke away... " etsy.com/uk/shop/YavinPaints / twitter.com/Bhaal_Spawn   -- 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 -- Writer, artist, and animator, Etana has remained wholly immersed in the arts on a daily basis since the dusk of the artscene, hammering out her own scenes with keyframeonline.com and tiltedwindmills.com www.athenacooper.ca / twitter.com/athenacooper -- In over 20 years on the arts & culture beat, Freelance Pete (aka Peter Guindon) is arguably the most unrecognized genius I have yet come across. Illustration, 2D animation, and heartbreaking ukulele ballads for the underemployed generation. If you don't blink, you can see his handiwork in Ripping Friends, Busytown Mysteries, Lalaloopsy, and Simpsons Tapped Out. pguindon.blogspot.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 -- 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 -- 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 -- 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 -- Pinguino grew up on the Internet, doing telco for CiA, and VGA for GAS and Rival. Lately, she runs the design studio Pinguhaus, goes raving on every continent, and experiments with obscure foods -- her latest accomplishment is making ramen noodles out of crickets. The design co-founder of the Cuddli geek dating app, her next project is partying with sled dogs in Greenland. ivomitrainbows.co / twitter.com/pinguino -- 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 -- Spitoufs started messing about in the DS homebrew 'scene' back in 2006 doing game graphics, branching out into ANSI art, pixelart, and further game development with collaborators. The SHMUP based on the art of Salvacdor Dali has shipped but... there's still so much to do! :D spitoufs.com / twitter.com/spitoufs -- 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 -- Uglifruit is the alter-ego of Andy Jenkinson. Andy is quite tall does things with music. Andy on occasion feels the need to express himself elsewhere. andyjenkinson.com / twitter.com/andyuglifruit -- 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 -- Even (especially?) with innocuous subjects, the glitch aesthetic -- which xer0 demonstrates handily -- has no option but provide an unsettling, vaguely sinister lens through which to view. When he's not cooking up twitchy weirdness for Mist, this longtime underground scenester, a programmer and Unix enthusiast, can be found making appearances with Blocktronics and Impure. xero.nu / 0w.nz / twitter.com/fontvirus / x-ero.tumblr.com -- 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 and if you really need to find us on Flickr, Pinterest, Google+ or YouTube, you can Google us there 8) SAUCE00MIST0917 memberlist xer0 and Cthulu Mistigris 20170720·,P IBM VGA
