contributing artists:
Obligatory token fellow Andreas Jansson is for obvious reasons very sorry to
take the first spot in the list this month, in which he only appears by
virtue of once again, as in MIST1015 three and a half years ago, helping
@Maureen to realise her creative visions. He blames his parents and the
alphabet.
Awesome Angela of Sleepy Stitch does in real life what many of us do
virtually: arranging mosaics of coloured picture elements into more than the
sum of their parts. An avowed nerdy narcoleptic, her cottage industry
helps to defray the cost of medical treatment not covered by insurance. In
Her Own Words: I got my bachelors of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art
Institute... during which I got diagnosed with cancer My health is a
constant battle both physically and emotionally, but creating art is the
only thing that keeps me calm and allows me to escape into it away from the
realities that suck. I think she just said a mouthful, folks!

Artist, gamer, scientist... not necessarily in that order. BhaalSpawn is
principally a graphite pencil artist, drawing for employers and smaller
clients, but outside of the day job, has a love of science, sci-fi, fantasy
and computer games. When relaxing, like most people they want to avoid work,
but... still have a love of art.

Castpixel is Christina Antoinette Neofotistou: I draw, paint and make indie
games. I imagine myself pouring pixels as if I was casting iron, and as if I
was casting spells.

Mistigris is a few months older than Cookieheart, but classic themes possess
an eternal appeal to this Colombian artist, who works in both sketchbook and
pixelart idioms.

A few years following the release of the final Mist Classic artpack collection,
c00k13m0n5t3r was born. The generational gap might well be nigh
insurmountable, had we not the mutual love of quality pixelart. Its timeless!

Writer, acrylic painter and digital artist, Etana has kept her fingers in
numerous creative pies since the dusk of the artscene with such avenues as

Windmills.

Eve draws a lot of hard-edged angular subjects like mecha and buildings
their pixelart practice. Here, take a look.

Know someone for a decade or so, perform at their wedding, and they still
might come up with some surprises for you. Senior front-end engineer Garann
Means also, it turns out, has a side line in fashion illustration! Which is,
like, committing the same crimes as Image Comics, but in the service of
truth and beauty!

Investigating a work in progress from 1998 after it came up in conversation,
Happyfish was pleased to discover that ANSI art is, in at least one way, like
riding a bicycle. Like a happy fish riding a bicycle? That said, it
cant supplant the great love she has for her banjola, the axe for her
award-winning main side gig on the filk circuit.

ldb Laura Brown is a rare bird, perhaps the last practitioner standing of
good old UseNet-style ASCII art, with a masterful command over economy of
slashes, parentheses and asterisks.

You wont see any of Mavriks creative work in this archive, but theres a
very good chance that the collection will have passed through his
graciously-offered web hosting at mistigris.org en route to you, picking up
from his historical facilitator role greasing the gears of Mists KiTSCHNet
echomail network from its home at Daemons Gate BBS. He, also, is a man,
but hes pretty sure that we shouldnt have to reinvent the wheel and make
exclusive use of woman-invented technologies in order to get this collection
together and into your hands.

@Maureen Evans grew up on Highway 16. She set her mind to writing a way out
young and has travelled widely ever since. She loves everything wild,
beautiful and hard.

Meesh enjoys occasionally creating ANSIart in her spare time. She started in
high school on ansiart.com creating pieces which contribute to a story, however
as you see in this art pack, she also isnt afraid of a pop culture reference
and there.

Melodia doesnt need an artgroup, she is an artgroup. One more case of the
parade continuing after the band stopped playing, courtesy of the bottomless
music in her head she kept on keeping on -- and indeed, has never stopped. We
are humbled by her continuing association with us, as to her, all we have to
offer is drag factor!

postmodern era.

really, but yes.

Claire Nouscentric Roberts is a multi-disciplinary thing-doer, using dance,

games industry as a 3D artist.

Pinguino grew up on the Internet, doing telco for CiA and VGA for GAS and
Rival. Lately, she runs the design studio Pinguhaus, goes raving on every
continent, and experiments with obscure foods -- her latest accomplishment is
making ramen noodles out of crickets.

Lest we take our practice too seriously, PixelFart is here to keep things
loose and casual.

Formerly known as Silver Angel, Tillie continues to live and write in the 604
area. Shes been published in Salacious Magazine and featured in the Dirty
Queer Anthology. Balancing being a queer, polyamourous feral leatherwoman and
handling donations at a church/homeless shelter, Tillie can be found at
@echnoidsymmetry on Twitter and on the book of face.
Every time I include her in an artpack, I find myself completely rewriting
Theresa Oborns bio, as though I might somehow hew closer to the truth, like
a darts player hoping to hit a bullseye. She draws and sculpts, and perhaps
the work speaks for itself.

Webersso.n brings about a deft marriage of subject and audience, making
hyperstylized perler bead portraits of an endless series of women with
fauvist pop art colour schemes.
