The visual artist Nick "Seriatum" Williams works in other styles, but in monochrome pixelart he f l i e s . instagram.com/1bitwonder -- 8bit_poet comes by his small-scale pixelart virtuosity by genuinely oldschool means, in a former life (the late '90s) designing Macintosh program icons as Doc Halpern of Mad Science Laboratories. He is a co-founder of the Dead Pixel Society. instagram.com/8bit_poet / thedeadpixelsociety.net -- A Flamingo Cup's work isn't a style, but a mood. instagram.com/aflamingocup -- 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 she wants to avoid work, but... still has a love of art. etsy.com/uk/shop/YavinPaints / @Bhaal_Spawn -- 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. instagram.com/blippypixel -- 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 -- CoaXCable of CoolPHat is getting a little more comfortable with lending us guest appearances, letting his festive freak flag fly. -- 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 -- 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 -- 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 -- Jamie Graham has a typewriter with a red ink ribbon, and he's not afraid to prove it. instagram.com/jamie_graham93 -- 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 -- Taking inspiration from the basic medium of ASCII art, Joni "nscii" Caparas treats the characters as design elements on a black canvas, in a fashion similar to, but fundamentally different from, artscene ASCII practice. Basically, from their base in Berlin they've reinvented the artform from first principles. instagram.com/joninscii / jonicaparas.com -- The idea was so great it was inevitable that it would spontaneously emerge in different contexts: Kurogao is another visionary straddling the related but very different worlds of ASCII art and emoji typography, blending both into single-panel vignettes. instagram.com/kurogao96 -- 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 -- On a whim, Malice recently decided to try her hand at textmode art for the first time since 1998, having previously spent some time writing lit and drawing ASCII art logos in the Mean Scheme sphere. Fortunately, Mistigris is primarily composed of whimsy, so it was a good and timely fit! -- A keen eye may recognize Mavrik's handiwork in the copying & pasting of this memberlist, the most effort he has put into anything Mist-related since offering to provide the web hosting for mistigris.org, 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 -- 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 -- Nick Lakowski is a Vancouver based artist. He holds a BFA in studio art from Emily Carr University (2004) and an MFA in studio art from the University of British Columbia (2012). His work is grounded in a commitment to grassroots community projects, including experience as a teacher, muralist, volunteer, board member, curator, and events facilitator for a variety of local schools, businesses, festivals, DIY art spaces, and artist-run galleries. His current work with acrylics draws anxiously and humorously from the overly deterministic discipline of neurobiology, the world of commercial painting and paint manufacturing, various indexes and orders of colour, the redactive procedure of painting itself, and a mystical hysteria towards resuscitation and intensive care medicine. nlakowski.tumblr.com / iheartlocalart.ca/artists-2/nick-lakowski -- 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/gentlemannikki -- Part of a peculiar current of untapped anxious ANSI art energy charging new talents on the periphery of the digital underground, this time around Odd got zapped with the voltage. @TheOddFireCat -- Ozunaga is just getting warmed up... put on your welder's goggles and stand back! instagram.com/ozunaga -- Phatal, one of the "Butchershop 20", is a beach bum par excellence, typically found in a boat or dune buggy somewhere between the Sunshine Coast and Baja California -- and occasionally installed at a sketchbook or easel somewhere in between. -- 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 -- Pixel Art For The Heart paints landscapes in pixelart, but always adjusts the "dramatic" slider well beyond recommended settings. jonathanrawlings.com -- 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 -- From the world of the Amiga to the realm of Linux to death metal... Scart_Issue had his own circuitous route to the land of textmode art, but we are glad to have him in here with us. instagram.com/scart_issue -- 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 -- 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 MISTIGRIS DISTRIBUTION SITES: telnet://bbs.inktwo.com:23 16colo.rs/tags/pack/mistigris 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, Lazarus, Legacy, impure.nl, amish.0w.nz, galza.org, Fire Dream, Break, the 2XL crew, @hirmuofficial, paleotronic.com, soundcloud.com/bitcouver, Phluid, vanchipmusic.ca, null e-mag, ArakNet and TABNet!
