Mistigram: this fabulous coloured #ASCIIart / #ANSIart vignette from the fairy tale #JackAndTheBeanstalk was drawn by @ascii.mozz.us and included in the MIST-30 30th anniversary artpack collection released slightly over a year ago. (Another beanstalk scene was included in IMBIBE01!)
A tiny figure climbs to the top of a curly beanstalk, where a castle is visible on a nearby cloud.

Bakery's open. #ansiart #asciiart #catloaf #zzt
ASCII art of several cats loafing on shelves, done using the DOS game creation ZZT. From top to bottom, left to right: tabby, colourpoint, dark grey, black and white catloaves with their eyes closed. Coat colours are limited by the text mode 16-colour palette.

Mistigram: this distinctive #ANSIart/#ASCIIart scene of a screaming lotus-eyed face looming above a cyber boxdrawn cityscape, "Amongst Mechanically Organic Lines", was made by Mavenmob and included in the MIST-30 30th anniversary artpack collection released slightly over a year ago.
A giant ghostly head is tossed back in despair, eyes overwritten by giant colourful lotus blossoms, above and behind a nighttime cityscape on either side of an empty road running ahead into the horizon.

For context, i'm trying to take on a certain aesthetic with the 11th version of my street lamp flyers. Certain letters seem impossible to write in the MS-DOS terminal.

Pixel art shows the characters Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock from "Star Trek." Computer art of a robot holding a rose, made from overlapping rectangles. Computer art showing a three-dimensional rendering of a character from the video game Space Invaders. Calvin, a character from the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes", stands beside a cardboard box, rubbing his hands and grinning evilly.

Advent25, the @mistfunk.bsky.social #ANSIArt Advent calendar, is live, and my involvement begins with the "FILE_ID.DIZ" card in its archive! This mix of ASCII and ANSI is available in both traditional BBS Monochrome and Artpack Color!

In this monochrome text art image, a black cartoon cat man made of text characters with block eyes lays on top of the name "ADVENT25" written in slanted capital letters. His tail curls behind the logo and pops out underneath, revealing a ribbon tied around it with a jingle bell attached. Snowflakes fall around it. Above the image is "Mistigris Advent Calendar 2025: MS-DOS Version" written with the vowels in lowercase and the consonants in uppercase. A color version of the previous image. A black cartoon cat man made of text characters with yellow block eyes lays on top of the name "ADVENT25" written in slanted white capital letters with the vowels colored red and green. His tail curls behind the logo and pops out underneath, revealing a red ribbon tied around it with a yellow jingle bell attached. Snowflakes fall around it. Above the image is "Mistigris Advent Calendar 2025: MS-DOS Version" written with the vowels in red and green lowercase and the consonants in white uppercase.

Mistigram: this striking nighttime ##textmode art landscape (##ASCIIart? ##ANSIart? There's a little Xbin character remapping going on) was drawn by @mozz-us.bsky.social and included in last year's MIST-30 artpack collection.
A full moon low in the night sky is crowned with wisps of fog and cloud, reflected in a rural lake.

Mistigram: from last year's MIST-30 artpack collection, celebrating 30 years since the establishment of our (now vintage) computer art community, here's a lovely #ASCIIart logo by our guest Darokin ironically celebrating #ANSIart. (Hey, we like to mix it up, too!)
lower-case letters, themselves made out of text characters, spell out the words ansi art. art runs beneath ansi, and the descender from the i at the end of ansi becomes the t at the end of art. To the left of art is a tiny stylised heart.

Mistigram: a synthesis of ##ANSIart and ##ASCIIart, all you need to know about this ##skull is that it's all scream. It was drawn as a creepy guest appearance by our main liaison with the new @0xpizzatoe.bsky.social computer art community, Jackey, and was included in the spooky MIST1024 artpack
Is that curly hair or are its soupy brains being expelled from its cranium under high pressure in an evaporated form?

Mistigram: the new, cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection contains, unsurprisingly, rather a lot of cats, illustrated in vintage computer art formats. Here are several samples depicting cats famous and obscure, drawn in #ANSIart, #ASCIIart and #PETSCII.
