ADVENT24/25_DEC24
Mistigram: The damn beautiful fool of an elf did it, he went too far this time, pulling off one final Christmas… but at what cost? This depiction of Santa’s gift-wrapped funeral was drawn by @littlebitspace and LDA for this date in last year’s ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar.

ADVENT24/01_DEC24
Mistigram: last year’s ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar kicked off on Dec 1st with this incredible macabre @littlebitspace illustration of #UncleSam hyping up the crowd’s patriotic involvement in festive seasonal cheer.

MIST1025/LITTLEBITSPACE-ASCII-HEAD
Mistigram: this elegant #textmode #skull, given rather more texture through use of a remapped #ASCIIart font than the ANSI bonehead it appeared alongside in last month’s spooky MIST1025 artpack collection, is of course the handiwork of @littlebitspace.
MIST1025/LITTLEBITSPACE-DANSE_MACABRE
Mistigram: Bystanders observing this gnarly #sk8r dude might be moved to remark: siiiick! No: in fact, he is completely deceased! But not even death can keep a wicked shredder down. This monochrome #ANSIart #skeleton, titled #DanseMacabre, is the handiwork of @littlebitspace, and was included in last month’s spooky MIST1025 artpack collection.

MIST1024/LITTLEBITSPACE-THE_LAST_GAMBIT
Mistigram: this #PETSCII illustration by @littlebitspace, ‘The Last Gambit’, presents an existential scene, all of us kings in our games of #chess, all doomed to #checkmate. This piece was included in the spooky MIST1024 artpack collection released one year ago.

MIST1022/LITTLEBITSPACE-COMPOSITION
Mistigram: one person’s composition is another tribunal’s evidence of war crimes. This artfully-arranged #PETSCII pyramid of human skulls is the handiwork of @littlebitspace, resonant with his deck of skeletal Tarot cards. It was included in the spooky MIST1022 artpack.
MIST1024/LITTLEBITSPACE-MEMENTO_TE_MORI
Mistodon: Memento te mori means Remember you must die, & mortality is sure on the mind of the person looking in this mirror. @littlebitspace won first place with it in the #PETSCII compo at last year’s @flashparty.ar ! It was also included in the spooky MIST1024 artpack collection.

MIST1024/LITTLEBITSPACE-VITRUVIAN_MAN
Mistigram: #LeonardoDaVinci used his #VitruvianMan design to model ideal human proportions, but @littlebitspace found there was still one small area for improvement, and stripped the obfuscating flesh from those big, beautiful bones in this #teletext adaptation, included in last year’s spooky MIST1024 artpack collection.
MIST0725/LITTLEBITSPACE-KING
Mistigram: the King of the Jungle here was drawn in #PETSCII characters by @littlebitspace, and was included in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection. (Q: What’s a #lion’s favorite compression format? A: Rar!)
MIST0725/LITTLEBITSPACE-CAT_CAT
Mistigram: in unixlikes, the command ‘cat’ outputs the contents of a file to the screen. In this case the file was a (#PETSCII) #ASCIIart illustration of a cat, so the artist @littlebitspace needed to ‘cat cat’. This recursive piece was included in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack.
MIST0625/LITTLEBITSPACE-CASTLEHEAD
Mistigram: you may recall our sharing of @littlebitspace’s “Castle Kit” font a bit over a week ago. As it turns out, castles are not the only thing you can draw in #textmode with its collection of remapped #PETSCII glyphs, and I rather suspect that drawing a #skull is the artist’s personal “Hello World” for any new creative environment. From the recent unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection, we give you: Castlehead.

MIST0625/LITTLEBITSPACE-PANGRAM
Mistigram: when most artists design a logo, they don’t design every single letterform in the alphabet. Here @littlebitspace demonstrates a #pangram, a phrase intended to demonstrate all the letters. This piece was included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

IMBIBE01/LITTLEBITSPACE-TEA_IS_ETERNAL
Mistigram: in all the beverage discourse this week, we have overlooked one of the all-time classics. @littlebitspace represents here again with this bird’s eye #asciiart representation of a Japanese #tea ceremony service. This piece, titled “Tea Is Eternal”, was included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.
IMBIBE01/LITTLEBITSPACE-TEA_SPILL
Mistigram: there’s not much hot gossip in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine, but nevertheless there @littlebitspace was, spilling the #tea, #ASCIIart style. Truly a scene to make Arthur Dent cry.
LITTLEBITSPACE_OBLIVION
Mistigram: and since we’re looking at #Oblivion today, here’s a #Daedric letter O, a symbol of Conjuration, drawn by @littlebitspace as #ASCIIart four years ago, representing the Oblivion Gates. We never got around to including it in an artpack (we really should release more videogames-themed collections!) but lbs was definitely ahead of his time in appreciating this janky old game like a fine wine.
IMBIBE01/LITTLEBITSPACE-CHA
Mistigram: before he mastered #ASCIIart, another niche field in which @littlebitspace had steeped was the world of #tea infusion and service. This piece from his back catalogue represents an overlap of both worlds, yet despite its relative vintage (only four years old!) it is still relatively fresh relatively to the materials from the ’90s which it was served up alongside in the time capsule of the new IMBIBE01 electronic magazine about food and drink.
MIST-30/LITTLEBITSPACE-MISTFUNK
Mistigram: we’ve never released a .WAD, but in the wake of “DOOM: The Gallery Experience” perhaps we should try our hand at it. In the meantime, here’s a stone cold #ASCIIart / #blockASCII Mistfunk logo drawn by @littlebitspace and used as an infofile header in the recent MIST-30 celebration artpack.

ADVENT23/25_DEC23
Mistigram: for this date in last year’s ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar, @littlebitspace drew a magnificent and chilling #blockASCII portrait of the late Jolly Old St. Nick, apparently reduced to nowt but bones and beard following his magical night’s impossible exertions.

ADVENT23/21_DEC23
Mistigram: with aid of a microscope, @littlebitspace conducted some #blockASCII research investigating just why snowflakes are so cold in this screen from today’s date in last year’s ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar. His report back: be very glad they are not warm.
