He is a co-founder of the Dead Pixel Society. instagram.com/8bit_poet / thedeadpixelsociety.net -- 192.168.10.13 occupies a rarefied echelon of glitch production, like a tree that drops apparently effortless scrambled fruit at peak ripeness. 1013.wtf -- What could deliver a more concentrated essence of computer creativity than making pixelart by arranging squares on a screen under high magnification? That's right: doing it in Microsoft Excel, using the spreadsheet cells as the picture elements. Carl Dizon is one of a very few specialists in the use of this outsider art tool. instagram.com/eduardo_calamar -- Periodically we enounter someone who is not only a specialist in a given medium,medium, but who also focuses on a specific theme to the exclusion of all others.

From his homebase in area code 418's BBS Sarcastic Toaster, his involvement was critical in getting Mistigris' first WHQ, The Screaming Tomato, up and running, as well as fixing us up with an entire satellite wing in Quebec in the lead-up to our initial release, an arrangement that would continue yielding dividends through Mist Classic's entire 4-year run. All that, plus he submitted some art! fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Turgeon / twitter.com/_______33______ -- 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 -- Wolf spirit Involtino draws pixelart on a 100x100 scale when not studying architecture in Genoa. instagram.com/involtinopixel -- 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. -- The Knight of Fuel is what we like to consider an OG underground computer artist, emerging in tandem to Mistigris Classic for a run from 1995-1998 in Belgium, only to disappear for a little longer than we did, roaring back to life in 2017 in a fantastic profusion of ANSI art. They do amazing work that is well worth checking out, and once in a while they very helpfully toss us a bone 8) fuel.wtf -- Lego_Colin uses a plethora of programs to prepare images for physical incarnation in the ultimate pixelart composition: assembled using Lego bricks. instagram.com/lego48x48 -- Manuel Vio fell in love with Commodore computers when he was 8... 36 years ago... and tries to keep the same wonder and passion from when he was a kid, starting to grasp the fundamentals of coding. His modern graphite portrait practice must have somehow influenced his PETSCII style, driving him to try to get the most out of every single character cell. The only software he uses is Petmate, a nice PETSCII editor. instagram.com/manuelvio -- 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 -- Nail has been known for stacking blocks for Fire and The Legion in the past, and, since his return to the scene, is doing the very same with old friends in Blocktronics.

No, not really, but yes. instagram.com/nelumbotus -- You'll find the visual art stylings of Ordinary_Pixel at the unlikely intersection of pixel art, pop culture, and fine art, laying down colours from a simplified palette in a conspicuously painterly fashion. instagram.com/ordinary_pixel -- PiquANSI sporadically draws elaborate boxological mandalas in Rexpaint and it is our pleasure to periodically share them with you. @piquansi -- Polyducks (Ben Jones) is an artist and web & game programmer living in greater Manchester, UK.
