feMinISTigris0319 contributing artists: Obligatory token fellow Andreas Jansson is for obvious reasons very sorry to take the first spot in the list this month, in which he only appears by virtue of once again, as in MIST1015 three and a half years ago, helping @Maureen to realise her creative visions. He blames his parents and the alphabet. --- 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 --- 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. etsy.com/uk/shop/YavinPaints / twitter.com/Bhaal_Spawn --- Castpixel is Christina Antoinette Neofotistou: "I draw, paint and make indie games. I imagine myself pouring pixels as if I was casting iron, and as if I was casting spells." twitter.com/castpixel / patreon.com/castpixel / castpixel.tumblr.com --- 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. facebook.com/artbycookieheart / instagram.com/cookieheart_ --- A few years following the release of the final Mist Classic artpack collection, c00k13_m0n5t3r was born. The generational gap might well be nigh insurmountable, had we not the mutual love of quality pixelart. It's timeless! instagram.com/c00k13_m0n5t3r_ --- Writer, acrylic painter and digital artist, Etana has kept her fingers in numerous creative pies since the dusk of the artscene with such avenues as Hallucigenia, Keyframe - the Animation Resource and (currently) Tilted Windmills. athenacooper.ca / twitter.com/athenacooper --- Eve draws a lot of hard-edged angular subjects like mecha and buildings their pixelart practice. Here, take a look. twitter.com/2forts1 --- Know someone for a decade or so, perform at their wedding, and they still might come up with some surprises for you. Senior front-end engineer Garann Means also, it turns out, has a side line in fashion illustration! Which is, like, committing the same crimes as Image Comics, but in the service of truth and beauty! instagram.com/GarannIllos / garann.com --- Investigating a work in progress from 1998 after it came up in conversation, Happyfish was pleased to discover that ANSI art is, in at least one way, like riding a bicycle. (Like a (happy) fish riding a bicycle?) That said, it can't supplant the great love she has for her banjola, the axe for her award-winning main side gig on the filk circuit. brookeabbey.com --- ldb (Laura Brown) is a rare bird, perhaps the last practitioner standing of good old UseNet-style ASCII art, with a masterful command over economy of slashes, parentheses and asterisks. asciiartist.com --- 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. He, also, is a man, but he's pretty sure that we shouldn't have to reinvent the wheel and make exclusive use of woman-invented technologies in order to get this collection together and into your hands. daemonsgate.com --- @Maureen Evans grew up on Highway 16. She set her mind to writing a way out young and has travelled widely ever since. She loves everything wild, beautiful and hard. twitter.com/maureen --- Meesh enjoys occasionally creating ANSIart in her spare time. She started in high school on ansiart.com creating pieces which contribute to a story, however as you see in this art pack, she also isn't afraid of a pop culture reference and there. instagram.com/sheeshmeeshmeesh / fagusgrandifolia.tumblr.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 --- Mentalpop is a Toronto-based pixelartist who works in collaboration with indie game development teams and streams their creation sessions for Patreon supporters. mentalpop.ca --- my_life_computerized explores the imposition of the aesthetics of vintage computing (specifically, the IBM PC CGA palette) to help make sense of our postmodern era. instagram.com/my_life_computerized --- Nelumbotus is a major in computer science with a minor in pixelart. No, not really, but yes. instagram.com/nelumbotus --- Claire "Nouscentric" Roberts is a multi-disciplinary thing-doer, using dance, fire, & voice for play in creative communities, and makes a living in the games industry as a 3D artist. braveandreal.com / claireroberts.net 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. ivomitrainbows.co / twitter.com/pinguino --- Lest we take our practice too seriously, Pixel_Fart is here to keep things loose and casual. instagram.com/pixel_fart --- Formerly known as Silver Angel, Tillie continues to live and write in the 604 area. She's been published in Salacious Magazine and featured in the Dirty Queer Anthology. Balancing being a queer, polyamourous feral leatherwoman and handling donations at a church/homeless shelter, Tillie can be found at @echnoidsymmetry on Twitter and on the book of face. --- 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 --- Webersso.n brings about a deft marriage of subject and audience, making hyperstylized perler bead portraits of an endless series of women with fauvist pop art colour schemes. instagram.com/webersso.n ---  MISTIGRIS DISTRIBUTION SITES: telnet://bbs.inktwo.com:23 telnet://guardian.synchro.net bbs.nz 16colo.rs/tags/pack/mistigris pc.textmod.es/crew/mistigris artpacks.org mistigris.org instagram.com/mistfunk twitter.com/mistfunk facebook.com/mistigrisart tumblr.com/mistfunk and our usual round of greetz to our colleagues at: fuel.wtf, blocktronics.org  impure.nl, amish.0w.nz, galza.org, Fire Dream, Break, pungas.space, paleotronic.com, soundcloud.com/bitcouver, vanchipmusic.ca, and TABNet!
