I almost missed #caturday Enjoy this #ascii night stalker.

Mistigram: this, the central subject of a vertical ##ANSIart triptych by Nitron promoting Cyberdyne Systems BBS with a celebration of the ##anime ##Robotech, was included in last year's science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

Mistigram: this ##ANSIart portrait of ##MimaKirigoe from ##SatoshiKon's 1997 ##PerfectBlue was drawn by Cthulu and included in last month's ##anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

Mistigram: this ##ANSIart portrait of ##Ranma's ##RyogaHibiki as ##PChan the piglet was drawn by @zeusii.bsky.social for Martin Kazmaier's ##anime-themed Shurato's Heavenly Sphere BBS. It was included in last year's MIST-30 artpack collection.

Mistigram: you've all seen the meme - the android ##YutaroKatori from the 1991 ##TheBraveOfSunFighbird series points at a butterfly and asks if it's a pigeon? But you've never seen it drawn before by LDA in ##ANSIart. This was included in last month's ##anime-themed MIST0825 artpack.

Mistigram: returning once more to the #anime #CowboyBebop, this suite of mini #ANSIart illustrations on the subject was drawn by @consolejockey.bsky.social and included in last year's MIST-30 artpack collection.

Mistigram: Cthulu drew this quick #ANSIart sketch of a Star Child from #StudioGhibli's 2004 adaptation of #HowlsMovingCastle for use as an infofile header in last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

Digging through the archives, Here is some more #ANSIart I made for #HypernodeBBS using #CP437. Still working toward getting the board back online, but until then I’ll keep posting these pieces. Some may even return later as #MysticBBS doors or mods. 🔍 #TextMode | #ASCII | #Sysop | #Telnet | #BBS

Mistigram: this iconic moment from #StudioGhibli's 1992 #PorcoRosso was illustrated by Cthulu (easy linework) and LDA (incredible sunset engineer) for last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection. “I'd rather be a pig than a fascist.”

Mistigram: Cthulu drew this ##ANSIart tribute to ##StudioGhibli's 1997 ##PrincessMononoke (with help from LDA and ConsoleJockey) for the new ##anime -themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

Mistigram: Cthulu's '90s girlfriend was a big fan of ##SailorMoon. Thinking back to that big ##anime moment in the cultural mainstream, he drew this ##ANSIart portrait of Sailor Moon's partner ##TuxedoMask (with help from LDA) for the new anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

Mistigram: long ago, Emme Doble (still a hugely prolific visual artist in an entirely different idiom) specialised in a cozy chibi ##pixelart aesthetic. Five years back we shared her portrait of ##anime hero Usagi (##SailorMoon) in the TV-themed MIST1320 artpack collection.

Mistigram: Cthulu adapted to #ANSIart this scene from #StudioGhibli's 2001 #SpiritedAway where Sen squeezes into an onsen elevator with Radish Spirit. It was included in the new #anime -themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

Mistigram: @farrell_lego made this #Lego #pixelart portrait of #StudioGhibli's answer to #TheLittleMermaid, 2008's #anime #Ponyo. It was included in the movie-themed MIST0920 artpack collection released exactly five years ago.

Mistigram: another take on #StudioGhibli's 2008 #Ponyo, this time it is @horsenburger.bsky.social capturing in #teletext the moment when the little fishgirl declines Sōsuke's bread - but the ham in his sandwich is another story. This screen was included in the new #anime -themed MIST0825 artpack.

Mistigram: this #ANSIart screen by @conchaos.synchro.net celebrates the 2004 series #SamuraiChamploo. It was included in the new #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

Mistigram: artpacks necessarily contain #ANSIart, so we have rustled up a wide array of it to populate our new #anime -themed MIST0825 artpack collection. Here is a sampling of some screens on different subjects by a variety of creators.

Mistigram: providing a little connective tissue between our #cat-filled July and our #anime August, here is a flat toon #ANSIart portrait of Katy (aka Chao) from 1981's The Fantastic Adventures of #Unico, based on the manga by #OsamuTezuka.

Mistigram: once again in the closing minutes of the month, Mist just dropped a new collection of underground computer art in vintage formats - the new MIST0825 artpack collection, celebrating the world of #anime. #ANSIart #Totoro FILE_ID.DIZ by Cthulu

Mistigram: searching his memory for celebrated cats of the early '90s, contemporary to the Golden Age of the underground computer artscene, Cthulu surfaced with this repulsive specimen. Joy! From the feverish mind of cancelled Spümcø animator #JohnK...

Welcome to BRAiNDEAD – Reloaded. From 1994 to 1998 I ran my own BBS. In 2025 I brought it back. FreeDOS. SyncTERM. ANSI. Echomail. No Facebook, no Discord. Just text, files, and a healthy dose of underground weirdness. 🔗 www.familie-kleinman.nl/brain/index....

Mistigram: in the closing minutes of July 31st, as alleycats yowled in the alley, we dropped a new artpack - our third on feline themes. The new, cat-themed MIST0725 collection is available at mistigris.org/packs/MIST07... or for browsing at the 16colo.rs gallery. FILE_ID.DIZ artwork by cccfire

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.

An absolute fantastic tribute article from @aghotspot.bsky.social about the life and love that Roberta Vaughan gave us. It's full of testimonials that show what a truly magical person she was. Grab some Kleenex and give it a read. adventuregamehotspot.com/blog/4724/ro...

Whenever the @archive.org goes down (as it seems to have done this morning), I realize how indispensable it is. And I lament the state of our world, with such a wonderful thing so often under attack.
