Mistodon: one of the biggest happy surprises of the new MIST0826 artpack collection is our including new work by j33p33, who has been MIA, computer art-wise, for the past six years. This #ANSIart gamer girl is part of a promo scroller for Nore BBS, which you should be able to telnet to via vetromac.dyndns-ip.com:232

Mistodon: and people are always especially curious how we're holding up on the #ANSIart end of things. Well, a number of artists have drawn a lot of it, in many different styles and on widely varied subjects... Here's a sampling of what's on offer in the new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection!

Mistodon: The new unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection is out, containing a wide variety of different kinds of vintage computer art, including #ANSIart and #teletext, #pixelart and #ASCIIart and music (difficult to illustrate).

Mistodon: you think you're having a hard time in the sweltering sun, have a thought for this fully-armoured member of the #KnightsTemplar crusading in the Egyptian desert circa the 12th/13th century, here drawn in #ANSIart by Darkman Almighty. This piece was included in the MIST0822 artpack collection released four years ago this month.

Fleshing out two subjects noted in passing in yesterday's article on Mist's 2023 The Big Dig #ANSIart joint, today we have written up Blocktronics' ACiD Trip and WTF4 scrollers from 2013 and 2014 respectively, the largest ANSI art works ever drawn:

Mistodon: this toony #ANSIart promo for Pedantik's BBS The Neon Jesus was drawn as a lifted truck by Mavrik (because hey, why not?) It was included in the MIST0896 artpack collection released 30 years ago this month!

Mistodon: this greyscale #ANSIart logo for the RAiD WHQ BBS Rise of the Midnight Sons, run by Pantera and named after a 1992 Ghost Rider plot arc, was drawn by Solinari and included in the MIST0895 artpack collection as part of a logocolly, released 31 years ago this month.

MIST0823/MM-ABOUTAFONT

Mistigram: @mavenmob’s #ANSIart illustrations are often inspired on some level by the artist’s musical selections. Is this one, ‘About A Font’, made in response to @NEFFEX’s 2022 song ‘As You Fade Away’? Only the artist knows for sure. This piece was included in the MIST0823 artpack collection released three years ago this month.

Mistigram: this blue #ANSIart logo was drawn by Neophyte in promotion of Mr. Flibbles’ BBS Stupidmop (or SM, as abbreviated here). This piece was included in a logocolly in the MIST0896 artpack collection released thirty years ago this month.

Mistigram: Inspired by blackjack, VileR drew an #ANSIart fever dream through a Lost Wages casino culminating in this logo celebrating the 21st edition of the Total DOS Collection, a software preservation project. It was included in the unthemed MIST0823 artpack collection released three years ago this month.

Mistodon: four years ago, @pixeldud had a month of #textmode art exploration, where he drew a screen daily for thirty days. This slice of isometric landscape excavation, "The Pit", a little dig in preparation for The Big Dig, is one such specimen of the outsider #ANSIart that resulted, released in the MIST0822 artpack collection.

Mistodon: This blue #ANSIart logo for #BlackApple was drawn by Rage, SysOp of Neosporin BBS, and included in the MIST0896 artpack collection released 30 years ago this month.

Mistodon: this #ANSIart screen by @codefenix has been patiently waiting a very long time for us to get around to releasing our next video games-themed artpack, but other themes somehow keep getting in the way. In the meantime, however, #Metroid turns 40 today, so we can't not share this portrait of #Samus in the #ZeroSuit! The galaxy is at peace.

Mistirgam: our unthemed MIST0823 artpack collection, released three years ago this month, was assembled in the immediate wake of the death of #PaulReubens aka #PeeWeeHerman, and we scrambled to cobble together a small tribute to his #PeeWeesPlayhouse oeuvre. Cthulu dashed off this super smallscale #ANSIart rendition of #Jambi the genie (RIP #JohnParagon also!) turning his wish-endowing chant into a Mistigris (well... Histigris) promo of sorts.

Mistodon: @zeusii drew this #ANSIart logoff screen, adapting Bizonacci's #DumpIt crypto memes featuring the distinctive likeness of #IgorBogdanoff, for Monero BBS. It was included in the MIST0822 artpack collection released four years ago this month.

MIST0526/US-GO_STICK_YOUR_HEAD_IN_A_PIG

Mistigram: @zeusii drew this stone cold #ANSIart silhouette of an alien city skyline beneath a gas giant and a tear in the sky… the suggestion of a logo footer in an extra-terrestrial language was reminiscent of a passage in the #HitchhikersGuide about the Complaints Division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation about a large neon sign celebrating their slogan #ShareAndEnjoy degrading into a very different message… well, Cthulu adapted the Narcotix typeface by the Sokratype foundry to give this piece a feeling of illegible alien script. The joint was included in the recent science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

Mistodon: some of us explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations... for Darkman Almighty, the science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection was an opportunity to draw #ANSIart of a character from a #StarTrek franchise he had not yet tapped. This is a portrait of actor #ConnorTrinneer, playing Charles #TripTucker III in #Enterprise. #WhereNoDogHasGoneBefore

MIST0625/ZII-EVNT

Mistigram: this #graffiti-styled #ANSIart logo was drawn by @zeusii.bsky.social to announce upcoming events on Shurato’s Heavenly Sphere BBS. It was included in the unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection released one year ago this month.

I'm working on something new. Here's a teaser on what it does

#art #ascii #asciiart #ansi #ansiart #bbs #computer #computerart #demoscene #digital #digitalart #text #textart #textmode #typedesign #design #typography #graffiti #modulardesign #modular #blackletter

Mistodon: #PaulBacon's famous 'Big Book Look' cover art design to #JosephHeller's 1961 satirical anti-war novel #Catch22, featuring 'the little guy that I tore out of a piece of paper, representing #Yossarian in full flight from everything', was adapted to #ANSIart by Cthulu for the recent books-themed MIST026 artpack collection.

MIST0426/US-DIANE_W_YOUNG-ADVENTURES_IN_A_MINOR_ORDER

Mistigram: sometimes we celebrate canonical classics established through the ages and sometimes, as in Ratatouille, we discover and defend the new. In this #ANSIart screen Moth (with help from LDA) reproduces the cover photograph of a new entomological monograph, #DianeWYoung’s #AdventuresInAMinorOrder, pertaining to the #booklice and #barklice of #psosoptera. If you have a strong interest in the subject and money is no object, you can purchase a copy today via https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4463637180/adventures-in-a-minor-order-insects This piece was included in last month’s books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

Mistodon: the great thing about hitting on an artpack theme like that of books, recently explored in last month's new MIST0426, is being reminded just how many different kinds of books there are. Here Cthulu has (with great difficulty) adapted to #ANSIart Bob Barner's doodly cover artwork to #DavidHAhl's seminal 101 #BASIC Computer Games, a 1973 volume of fun #typein code listings published by the Digital Equipment Corporation.

MIST0426/ZII-MLMR

Mistigram: to you, this may just look like an #ANSIart landscape illustration. But if you’ve read #PeterFHamilton’s 2004 SF novel #PandorasStar, kicking off his #CommonwealthSaga, you may recognize the creation of the powerful #MorningStarMountain hivemind here. This piece was drawn by @zeusii.bsky.social for last month’s new literature-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

MIST0525/MIST0525.NFO

Mistigram: this #ANSIart portrait of #RogueOne and #Andor’s #K2SO was drawn by Zeus II for use as an infofile header in last year’s science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection. #MayThe4thBeWithYou!

Mistigram: one of the first screens Cthulu started when the idea of doing a books-themed artpack came up (and also, after quite some turbulance, the very last one he finished), this adaptation of the typographical cover design to the 1999 Mariner Press edition of #JoseSaramago’s #Blindness was included in last month’s new literary MIST0426 artpack collection. (The artist thanks Yvonne for lending her copy so many years ago!)

Happy World Autism Acceptance Day from "Cyber Purge" v2.21, the final content update, released on February 21, 2026!

Mistodon: with the exception of a few pieces of computer music, nearly everything in the new, unthemed MIST0226 artpack collection that dropped last night is some form or another of #textart and #textmode art -- here is a sampling of specimens of #ASCIIart, #ANSIart, #ATASCII, #PETSCII and #ShiftJIS contained therein.

MIST-30/MOZZ-NIGHT-MOON

Mistigram: this striking nighttime #textmode art landscape (#ASCIIart? #ANSIart? There’s a little Xbin character remapping going on) was drawn by Mozz and included in last year’s MIST-30 artpack collection.

MIST-30/THE_WAR_ON_XMAS-WELL_DRESSED_GHOST

Mistigram: this piece, TheWarOnXmas’ amazing #ASCIIart remix of AFlamingoCup’s incredible “Well-Dressed Ghost” pixelart piece from MIST1020 four years earlier, was included in last year’s MIST-30 artpack collection, one of an awesome handful of updates and revisitations to worthwhile works lurking in our extensive back catalogue.

MIST0525/ZII-WADO

Mistigram: this #ANSIart portrait of #Maaya from the 2019 #Ultraman anime was drawn by Zeus II in promotion of Shurato’s Heavenly Sphere BBS at shsbbs.net. It was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/US-SNITCH

Mistigram: this scurrilous snitch, Garindan ezz Zavor (aka “Long-Snoot”), nearly ruined the day of the Millennium Falcon’s crew when they were departing Mos Eisley in #StarWars. He was drawn in #ANSIart on our networked Moebius server by LDA and Zeus II, and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST-30/MM-CRTANGEL

Mistigram: the fondly-remembered spirit of a bygone era, @mavenmob’s #ANSIart illustration ‘CRT Angel’ manages to enshrine a species of technological nostalgia. This screen was included in the MIST-30 artpack celebration.
