MIST1023/BLIPPYPIXEL-WHAT_IS_IT
Mistigram: a flock of bats flutters from the haunted towers of a castle out into the moonlight over the moorland. This #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen was made by @blippypixel and included in the spooky MIST1023 artpack collection released two years ago this month.
MIST0625/BLIPPYPIXEL-POSTER
Mistigram: many years ago, @blippypixel was in possession of a colourful framed poster of some geometrical computing algorithm’s output. It was hung proudly above his sofa, and one day for no apparent reason it fell off the wall and was destroyed in splintered wood and broken glass when it crashed into the floor. After 10 years of many false starts and fruitful distractions, this year he finally succeeded at rolling his own reproduction of the doomed poster using the #BBCMicro’s Acorn Graphics Extension ROM — the entire reason he got into making computer art to begin with. (That poster has a lot to answer for!) This piece was included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.
MIST0625/BLIPPYPIXEL-GRAF9
Mistigram: this is but one of @blippypixel’s suite of tablet-fingerpainted #BBCMicro high resolution graphics adaptations of actual #graffiti works seen out and about in London recently. (We shared this one first for traffic cone-related reasons.) It was included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection!
MIST0625 graffiti mosaic
Mistigram: this summer @blippypixel has been going out into public spaces in order to practice his computer art making, tablet-fingerpainting #BBCMicro reproductions of #graffiti pieces he finds thrown up on walls. Many of these sketches are included in the new, unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection, and here are a sampling of them!

MIST0224/BLIPPYPIXEL-SLY_STONE
Mistigram: it’s been an eventful ten days and the occasion ducked our notice for a week and a half, but in memoriam, here’s a somber monochrome #teletext portrait of the late #SlyStone by @blippypixel, included in last year’s music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.
MIST0525/BLIPPYPIXEL-WORM_HOLE

MIST0525/BLIPPYPIXEL-PORTRAIT_OF_GEPEET
Mistigram: a longtime fan of HAL 9000, @blippypixel has been quite excited at the popular emergence of #AI helper agents and copilots, for better or for worse. What we see here is a #teletext portrait of “GePeet”, his attempt at human-illustrating #GPT’s description of its own appearance. This screen was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.
MIST0523/BLIPPYPIXEL-COMPLY
Mistigram: every year since 2018, we’ve shared a collection of science fiction-inspired computer art in May. We haven’t quite gotten around to it yet this year, but there are still a few days left! This @blippypixel #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen, “Comply”, was included in last year’s MIST0523 artpack collection.

Mistigram: here’s a timely bonus #BlackFriday #teletext screen by @blippypixel for your enjoyment today in the era of AI excess: he calls it ‘Black AI-day’. Talk to a human agent about the status of your discounted order? I’m sorry, Dave, I can’t do that.
