Mistigram: the #ANSIart rendition is a little too small-scale to be a wholly flattering likeness, but I guarantee that the character meant more to artist Darkman Almighty than to virtually any of you out there.

Mistigram: "I'm the head vampire!" "Mom?!" "I do have a life outside this house, you know." #MargeSimpson's climactic moment from 1993's #TreehouseOfHorror IV was adapted to #ANSIart by Cthulu and included in the spooky new MIST1026 artpack collection.

#onthisday, 509 years ago, some bloke in Wittgenstein was unhappy with the way the Church did certain things. For the sake of comprehensibility, he summarised his grievances in a Numbered List (DEBATE ME BRO) and posted them on a church door.

Mistigram: this screen titled "Face of a sad mask", part Melpomene and part John Merrick, was drawn by CoaXCable. It won 4th place in the Multimatograf demoparty's #ANSIart compo six month ago, and was just included in the spooky new MIST1026 artpack collection.

Mistigram: the oldschool artscene heads are always concerned for a good #ANSIart showing in artpacks, so for the spooky new MIST1026 we put our own heads together and tried to cook up a wide range of creepy illustrations made of coloured textmode block characters. Here are some specimens!

Mistigram: "Aaargh!..." With a little assistance from LDA and Moth, Cthulu drew this #ANSIart adaptation of the poster art to 1978's musical-comedy-horror movie #AttackOfTheKillerTomatoes. It was included in the spooky MIST1024 artpack collection released two years ago this month.

Two years ago, Curious Zelda's Twitter and Instagram accounts announced her passing on this day. This is my tribute to the queen of shook and funny little poems, still missed to this day. #tuxedocats #catsofbluesky #ansiart #cats
