He is a co-founder of the Dead Pixel Society. instagram.com/8bit_poet / thedeadpixelsociety.net -- For the past two years, Alpha King has been living up to his nickname and ripping it up in Blocktronics, lending his textmode art talent hither and yon on occasion where they are best suited. At long last, our turn came up... and then, a half-year later, we finally got around to actually sharing the art! -- Axl is a Parisian artist who works in many styles but who has recently stumbled upon the Commodore 64's PETSCII aesthetic and is currently feverishly working every angle of it, machine-generated and bespoke. instagram.com/axltm -- Mike "Blippypixel" Rose is a digital artist whose tastes veer toward the vintage in electronic music and visuals, dabbling in low-poly 3D modeling, LED pixelart, and teletext as well as work in the distinctive palette of the BBC Micro. -- Bliss is another of our rotating cast of seasoned textmode artist guest-stars visiting from the alt-ANSI utopia of the 8bitMUSH at ansiart.com, handy with their screen-condensed, palette-extended variant, described as FANSI. She often is concerned with video game subjects, but her interest in fixed-width pixelart also extends into the textile realm. instagram.com/hollydollydinkleberry -- Periodically we encounter someone who is not only a specialist in a given medium, but who also focuses on a specific theme to the exclusion of all others. Chuppixel is the world's preeminent Tiny Towers-style pixelart movie cast group shot specialist. instagram.com/chuppixel_ / chuppixel.tumblr.com -- 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_ -- 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 -- edging out Horsenburger as our most prolific contributor of all time! twitter.com/crowkeep -- Dos Grog continues in the expansion of our Italian contingent, demonstrating a playful devotion to the pixelart medium. instagram.com/dos_grog -- You don't get to see all aspects of an artist's creative practice manifest in a computer artpack; you probably won't get a chance to see Emma_Doble's work in ceramics in these pages, but if you settle for her pixelart, it's a well worthwhile consolation prize. instagram.com/pixel_emme -- Eve draws a lot of hard-edged angular subjects like mecha and buildings their pixelart practice. Here, take a look. twitter.com/cdsnatcher -- 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 -- Not that it's a competition, but you don't get to call yourself a proper vintage technology enthusiast until you've exported images you've made on an Apple II to textile patterns printed on a Jacquard power loom. By these stringent standards, it's possible that kris10roos is in fact the only proper vintage technology enthusiast! kristenroos.com -- Part of a feral tribe of uncontacted textmode artists at the 8bitMUSH at ANSIART.COM, LDA returns from a family pixel art concern to grace us once again with the imagery of his people. -- 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 -- 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 -- Max Mouse, mysterious denizen of our home area code of 604, has found his way -- once again -- back to BBSes and ANSI art after a long time soaking up the rays of enlightment. twitter.com/MaxMouse__ -- A veritable patron of the arts, Morgan Lee, longtime Mistigris textile consultant, has continued apace in her mission of needlepoint pixelart. While textile work falls outside the traditional confines of the underground computer artscene, really -- as the original pixelart artform and indeed the original computer artform -- it has more similarities than dissimilarities with the work we do, so we are happy to continue championing it. instagram.com/morganleemcpherson -- 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 -- 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 -- Italian net.artist Nbreakfast thinks nothing of hacking a game ROM or patching in an obscenity to a breadboard to get his idea across. ngirotti.com -- 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 -- Ozunaga is just getting warmed up, but this may be the only portion of his pixelart practice that can be observed at this distance without welder's goggles. Stand back! instagram.com/ozunaga -- Games artist philllllljames has recently arrived at the textmode art aesthetic, notably the celebrated feel of Commodore's PETSCII, but also seemingly the offbeat textures of Glyph Drawing Club, through which to explore new visual territory. shinestrength.xyz -- There are many roads to textmode artwork; IRC channels are as legitimately valid an avenue as any. Emerging from the MIRCart realm into the world of artpacks, Picrotoxin brings a fresh perspective to a classic medium. instagram.com/picrotoxin -- 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.com / twitter.com/pinguino -- Pixard_Neh celebrates his pop culture favorites in a self-described self- indulgent spasm of pixelart. We're just lucky enough to be sitting by on the sidelines! instagram.com/pixard_neh -- Pixel Art For The Heart paints landscapes in pixelart, but always adjusts the "dramatic" slider well beyond recommended settings. jonathanrawlings.com -- Lest we take our practice too seriously, Pixel_Fart is here to keep things loose and casual. instagram.com/pixel_fart -- 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 -- Straddling the interdimensional realms of pixelart and voxelart, Brazilian game developer Scofanogd shares more of his more sedate whimsical experiments with us. instagram.com/scofanogd / scofano.com.br -- Founder of EuphoniX, Sentience has given the music a rest and is resuming his explorations into every other creative medium. -- 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 -- 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 -- Textmode experimenter t1po has it backwards, bringing computer art sensibilities to typewriters and typewriter sensibilities to computers. Failing to cross the streams wouldn't yield anything extraordinary, while going contrariwise both ways makes strange magic emerge from the dullest artifacts of the mundane. Nice trick! instagram.com/ty.p0 / t1po.tumblr.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 -- upper.case: storytelling pixelartist or pixel-illustrating storyteller? Why not both? instagram.com/upper.case -- Webersso.n made hyperstylized perler bead portraits of women with fauvist pop art colour schemes. instagram.com/webersso.n -- Communities of text art practice emerge through certain social contexts but the basic premise is such an appealing idea that it keeps getting invented and reinvented. XTComics draws comic strips using a combination of low ASCII characters and emoji. instagram.com/xtcomics -- Yet another tireless participant of the UK's teletext renaissance, it seems almost inevitable that we would provide a home for Alistair "ZXGuesser" Cree's playful screens beneath our umbrella. twitter.com/zxguesser MISTIGRIS DISTRIBUTION SITES: telnet://bbs.inktwo.com:23 telnet://guardian.synchro.net bbs.nz 16colo.rs artpacks.org mistigris.org instagram.com/mistfunk twitter.com/mistfunk 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, @hirmuofficial, mircart.org, paleotronic.com, soundcloud.com/bitcouver, vanchipmusic.ca, null e-mag, ArakNet and TABNet!
