When relaxing, like most people she wants to avoid work, but... still has a love of art. This month, we open the door into her hitherto unshared realm of pixelart. etsy.com/uk/shop/YavinPaints / @Bhaal_Spawn -- 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 -- 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_ -- 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_ -- Drawbits is an emerging pixelart painter. instagram.com/pixel.tr.590 -- Emel is a digital illustrator from France, also dabbling in pixel art and the physical voxelart of "seed bead animals". instagram.com/emelpixel / twitter.com/Ml_Miellle -- 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 Emme_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 -- 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 in their pixelart practice. Here, take a look. twitter.com/ctf2fort -- 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 -- 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 -- Nikki is a "queer woman who loves retro games, technological tat ... and arty arty crafty stuff!" She has taken up the arcane art of teletext, which we are authorized to share with you. twitter.com/nikkidoesatweet -- Thematically, whether through photo or digital manipulation, The NJHLS works by medium of hidden patterns, drawing them out through a combination of colour, shapes, texture, and symbolism. While this exploration is a common theme in all of her work, each image also serves as a maze, revealing successive layers upon further viewing. instagram.com/thenjhlsÿÿ -- 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 -- a recent accomplishment is making ramen noodles out of crickets. ivomitrainbows.com / twitter.com/pinguino -- Lest we take our practice too seriously, Pixel_Fart is here to keep things loose and casual. instagram.com/pixel_fart -- Rita_Sada got the "salty crossstitch" memo and then blew straight past it, her destination a place you might not take your grandmother to even if just to flip her wig. Then again, there are stories granny hasn't told you... instagram.com/rita_sada -- Stella Li values her privacy, but agreed we might be able to round up some simpletons to admire her feat of successfully placing 3200 rhinestones on a grid pattern. -- 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 -- A Playa veteran, Toi Box has much experience both creating and destroying, but has only just recently once again picked up the paintbrush. -- Webersso.n made hyperstylized perler bead portraits of women (uh, and cats) 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, and this month they are the exception to prove the rule. instagram.com/xtcomics -- MISTIGRIS DISTRIBUTION SITES: telnet://bbs.inktwo.com:23 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!
