MIST1121/UGLIFRUIT-FAWKES
Mistigram: Remember remember… this #teletext portrait of a man in a #GuyFawkes mask (almost assuredly derived from #DavidLloyd’s work in #VForVendetta) was drawn by @uglifruit and included in the MIST1121 artpack collection released four years ago this month.

MIST1121/ILLARTERATE-AUTOMATIC
Mistigram: this blinking #teletext screen by @illarterate depicts a Microsoft #Windows95 desktop in the middle of having a trash fire meltdown. (It’s not too late to give OS/2 a spin!) This piece was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.
MIST1121/BLIPPYPIXEL-IBM360
Mistigram: @blippypixel has drawn this #BBCMicro animation of a #mainframe computer suite (and its 9-track vacuum column magnetic tape drives!) from the flexible #IBMSystem360 family of machines, sold for a bit over a decade starting in 1965. This piece was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.
MIST1121/ATONALOSPREY-CONNECTED_BY_EARTH_(WITH_STARS)
Mistigram: this prize-winning #teletext promo for @FreeGeekPDX, North America’s community-level e-waste refurbisher, was drawn by @AtonalOsprey and included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.
MIST1121/AXL-RESIST
Mistigram: I’d say that this #PLAYSCII piece by @axltm, released a year ago in the MIST1121 artpack, was prophetic, but really when has resistance been bad advice in our lifetimes? Instead I’ll say we post this to commemorate the recent death of #BASIC co-inventor #ThomasEKurtz.
MIST1121/NICK_LAKOWSKY-KING_KONG_BUNDY
Mistigram: The oil paintings of Nick Lakowski played a big role in our revival over the past decade, playfully demonstrating that if the subject is a good fit, you can make incredible computer art without benefit of computers. Case in point: this still from a 1988/89 advertisement for Vendex’s #HeadStart computers, starring pro wrestler #KingKongBundy. This piece was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.
MIST1121/TEKST_TV-WIN_XP
Mistodon:@teksttv_dk has drawn a #teletext adaptation of Charles O’Rear’s Sonoma vineyard photograph ‘Bliss’, famously used as the default wallpaper for #WindowsXP & likely the most viewed photograph in human history. This screen was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.
MIST1121/POLYDUCKS-FLYING_TOASTER
Mistigram: The inimitable @Polyducks here drew a fabulous #flyingtoaster, mascot of the After Dark screensaver dynasty, in #textmode art (most likely using a character set and colour palette of his own devising). It was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/BLIPPYPIXEL-CHOICE
Mistigram: the smell of fresh grass, the feel of the warm sun on your face and the wind blowing through your hair… @blippypixel wonders if one can get away with trading it all away for its mere appearance in this #BBCMicro hirez screen, ‘Choice’, included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this sour puss, rendered in #teletext by @atonalosprey, is a vintage meme dating back some 20 years! Supreme ruler of all cats, it disapproves of your thread on the GameFAQs forum. This screen was included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection.
