Mistigram: this time last year, as we dropped our MIST-30 30th anniversary collection, our colleagues in @pizzatoe were celebrating along with us, sketching this seasonal #ANSIart logo. 2025 was supposed to be their year, but wherever they went, we never forgot their kindness!
MIST0625/XERO-MISTFUNK
Mistigram: a little celebration drawn unprompted on the occasion of MIST-30 dropping, this #emoji-based mISTFUNK text art logo (well, you see the funk emerging from the mist) is the handiwork of glitchy guest genius xero and was included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.
MIST0625/2STONED-MISTFUNK
Mistigram: Blippypixel wasn’t the only one with graffiti in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection — here’s 2Stoned’s funky take on ConsoleJockey’s #mistfunk #ANSIart template from MIST-30, used as an infofile header. Slap muh fro! Ah be bad!
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.

MIST1124 “Mistfunk” logo template
Mistigram: 26 years back, as Mist Classic entered its final year, we thought it would be fun to have different artists in our varied stable of creators demonstrate their different personal approaches toward colouring in and completing a plain Mistigris logo outline drawn by Rage, and the diverse results turned up in the M-9802 artpack collection.
For our 30th anniversary we’re circulating another “unskinned” logo, this time drawn by ConsoleJockey and reading “Mistfunk”, for friends to try their hand at finishing off in their own style. If you’re game to take a crack at it, you can find the generic version available as bitmap or block ASCII at https://mistigris.org/packs/MIST1124/ … I recommend you go wild with it.
Let us know when your experiment is complete and we hope to include it in our artpack due out at the end of this month!
Mistodon: and now for something completely different -- we're not showing off art (well, thanks for this nice logo, grymmjack!) but rather, we're requesting some of it! Our crew is celebrating its 30th anniversary at the end of this month, and we want to give everyone the opportunity to take part in the festivities and party like it's ... 1994.
If you have something specific in mind, we're very interested to see what you've got -- but if you could use a prompt to get the creative juices flowing, we have some suggestions:
1) We will be circulating an uncoloured, unadorned #Mistfunk logo outline and challenging the typographers among you to shade/colour/finish it off _in your own style_, hopefully yielding compelling variations on a fun theme.
2) There are thousands of artworks in our 30 years of back catalogues, and we would love to see some creative remixes, remasters, radical re-interpretations, skilled restorations and postmodern deconstructions of your favorite classic works from our back stacks.
3) As though you just fell through a time wormhole into 1994, draw up a promo for the same kinds of things we used to advertise in our packs -- the KiTSCHNet echomail network, Kithe e-mag, our WHQ the Screaming Tomato BBS (or its successor The Jade Monkey, if you prefer), or the PabloDraw ANSI editor (still under active development!) Or maybe you have a different cyberspace lost cause of 1994 that you'd like to give a last huzzah to -- a favorite MUD, newsgroup or GeoCities neighbourhood ... here's your chance!
4) If you care to open up the Moebius ANSI editor and join our networked server for the making of collaborative #ANSIart, in keeping with the #phreaking and #telephony roots of the underground computer artscene, we're hoping to collect a wide assortment of small ANSI vignettes of famous people, real and fictional, from TV, movies and real life, all taking part in a conference call on landlines, mobiles and cellular phones.
Please try to get your subs in not long after Nov 23rd, because we've gotta release this beast the following weekend! If you have any questions, you know where to find us!
