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 -- Illarterate 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? twitter.com/illarterate / 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 -- Part of a feral tribe of uncontacted textmode artists at the 8bitMUSH at ANSIART.COM, LDA emerges from a family pixel art concern to grace us with the imagery of his people. -- 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 -- 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 -- Lorn Huggins has been NOT drawing ANSI art for quite a bit longer than she ever was drawing it for, and we have consequently been waiting quite a long time to share this selection with you. Following this month, she can be considered retired at the top of her game. instagram.com/lornhuggins -- 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 -- Mentalpop is a Toronto-basic 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 -- 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 -- 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 -- Founder of EuphoniX, Sentience has given the music a rest and is resuming his explorations into every other creative medium. instagram.com/dyscotopia -- Artscene OG Smooth has long been on the Mistigris periphery, his telnet BBS iNKı on our distro site list almost since our revival, but again this month this elder statesman, founder of TeklordZ (with which Mist Classic spent almost its entire lifespan attempting unsuccessfully to merge with), descends from the heavens (by which I mean his regular ANSI and ASCII art gigs at Legacy and Impure) to class up our FILE_ID.DIZ iconography. Hats off, sir! www.inktwo.com -- 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 -- Arguably the most virtuoso of all classic Mistigris members to never actually release artwork in a classic Mistigris artpack, Talonswift went on to be a founding member of the Life Drawing Cartel and enjoyed a turbulent political career. instagram.com/shawnhunsdale -- 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 -- dawdler and doodler. everyone is an artist nowadays. but Unseen Fate (aka Antti Minkkinen) is an ANSI artist. (that said, enjoy the painting!) finland. iconosquare.com/minkant -- Webersso.n made hyperstylized perler bead portraits of women (uh, and cats) with fauvist pop art colour schemes. instagram.com/webersso.n -- MISTIGRIS DISTRIBUTION SITES: telnet://bbs.inktwo.com:23 telnet://guardian.synchro.net telnet://chq.phatstar.org:2023 bbs.nz 16colo.rs artpacks.org mistigris.org instagram.com/mistfunk twitter.com/mistfunk discord.gg/9R84QUN tumblr.com/mistfunk and our usual round of greetz to our colleagues at: blocktronics.org, Legacy, impure.nl, amish.0w.nz, galza.org, Fire Dream, Break, @hirmuofficial, paleotronic.com, soundcloud.com/bitcouver, pHluid, vanchipmusic.ca, null e-mag, ArakNet and TABNet! _____________________________________________________________ |,| | ((| |\\ /\_/\| |)) \^Y^/| |//____) (| | _/________/_( __/V\ /V\__ )( __/V\ | | (############)`~(__^Y^ ^Y^__)~``~(__^Y^ | |___\##########/__ldb ____//_\\______//_\\_____________//__\\_| SAUCE00MIST1319 list of contributors Cthulu and ldb Mistigris 20191231â:PöIBM VGA
