Wherever we have a rough spot, he's holding it together. -- 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_ -- Dwimmer began with an interest in fractals and programming art and in a roundabout fashion found their way to the demoscene and textmode arts, including ANSI, ASCII and PETSCII. instagram.com/dwimmer.tm -- Farrell_Lego prefers a broader canvas for his brick mosaics, engaging all manner of nerdy subjects against grey studded backings... hoping against hope that he doesn't, again, run out of pieces! instagram.com/farrell_lego -- Godfather is the System Operator of the Underground BBS, and has taken the opportunity of revisiting the bulletin board realm to finally indulge a turn-of-the-century interest in the creation of ANSI art. www.theunderground.us:10023 -- Grymmjack celebrated us in the 20th century and was baffled on the occasion of our revival, but in the fullness of time he has come back around to his initial response, jumping with both feet into manifesting our intention as a crossroad for computer creativity. twitter.com/grymmjack -- 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 -- Perhaps our all-time youngest contributor, but if everyone her age celebrates the changing times with digital art the way she does, perhaps the kids are alright. -- 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 -- Kazunari "Kalcha" Naito represents the tip of an iceberg we know little of and understand still less of -- Japan's Shift_JIS parallel textmode art scene. His works are informed by his interests in '70s prog rock, jazz, and fine art. -- 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 -- 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. -- LittleBitSpace experiments with ASCII art, now turning it into a line art medium, now dabbling with the use of negative space, superimposed for effect against high resolution backgrounds. instagram.com/littlebitspace -- Mavenmob is an interesting case, informed by equal parts of the philosophy of J. Krishnamurti and his artscene youth in Blade and Echo. His most recent undertaking is a game called "The Word Is Not The Thing". (Our lit division may need to beg to differ.) mavenmob.com / instagram.com/mavenmob -- 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__ -- An old dog doing new tricks, MeaTLoTioN has made a return to the BBS scene after many years away, and this time is trying his hand at some textmode art, contributing to the UK scene with some attempts at being creative. On a normal day he enjoys red meat, vegetables, plenty of greens and a shipping ton of gravy. meatlotion.com -- Mig_moog brings an animator's demented sensibilities to the realm of pixelart. @mig_moog -- 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 -- Mr Polyducks, Esquire, is an artist and web & game programmer living in greater Manchester, UK. His interests are in tile-based, PETSCII and pixel artwork using limited palettes. Often presents his bio in the third person. pixeljoint.com/p/125346.htm / polyducks.co.uk / twitter.com/polyducks -- prunes: storytelling pixelartist or pixel-illustrating storyteller? Why not both? instagram.com/prunes_art -- Sassafras, our initial gateway to the FANSI world of the 8bitMUSH, makes another sporadic appearance from the wilder reaches of textmode art. ansiart.com/Info/Artist/Sassafras -- 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 -- Whazzit's history with Mistigris dates back to our 1994 inception, and though our paths diverged before long, when talk of our 2014 revival came up he was right there on the front lines with the impossible -- a seemingly endless font of fresh ideas of new applications for a positively archaic artform. instagram.com/whazzit_b7 -- From Twilight, the Legion, Avenge, Fire, Fuel and through to Blocktronics, the Swede known as Zeus II is a one-man ANSI art industry.
