MIST0426/CT-CHRISTIAN_BOK-EUNOIA

Mistigram: “Awkward grammar appals a craftsman.” Cthulu made an #ANSIart adaptation of the cover design to experimental writer #ChristianBök’s unforgettable 2001 univocal lipogram anthology #Eunoia, whose colours are informed by Arthur Rimbaud’s 1871 poem “Voyelles”. Look on hotbot dot com to know who’s who or wot’s wot. How now brown cow. This piece was included in the recent books-themed MIST0426 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.

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.

MIST0426/MC_FRESHER-GOODNIGHT

Mistigram: possibly a low-hanging-fruit gag by @mc.fresher , but it nonetheless strikes on one of the most extraordinary moments in #MargaretWiseBrown’s essential 1947 children’s book #GoodnightMoon, the moment in which the artist is charged with illustrating a negation. This minimalist #ANSIart piece was included in last month’s books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

MIST0426/CT-THOMAS_PYNCHON-GRAVITY’S_RAINBOW

Mistigram: If you haven’t had the strange pleasure of reading #ThomasPynchon’s 1973 magnum opus #GravitysRainbow, “ostensibly about an American G.I. who seems to have a psychosexual connection to Nazi Germany’s V-2 rockets”, no gloss will really suffice. But because a picture says a thousand words, we here post Cthulu’s adaptation of #MarcGetter’s cover art to the postmodern novel, included in last month’s books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.
