A snowman enjoys a sunny day at the beach beneath the protection of a floppy straw sunhat.

Mistigram: Frozen's Olaf isn't the only snowman interested in warm summertime pursuits! This screen for today's Dec 2nd date (at bottom right) was drawn by Moth for last year's ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar. (We have new art as well as the old for the ADVENT25 calendar, but you have to go open those little doors yourself... or wait a year for us to post them.)

A skeletal Uncle Sam points a bony finger at the viewer and implores them to get into the Christmas spirit.

Mistigram: last year's ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar kicked off on Dec 1st with this incredible macabre

littlebitspace illustration of #UncleSam hyping up the crowd's patriotic involvement in festive seasonal cheer.

Mistigram: introducing ADVENT25, our third annual #ANSIart #AdventCalendar. Enclosed is an executable program, and every day this month up to Dec 25th it will display that new date's illustration and allow you to view the previous screens. Andyh's MS-DOS executable can be run via 16colo.rs or in DOSbox, and j0hnny a1pha's BBS door fork will allow you to have the daily screens displayed via participating bulletin board services.

The #ASCIIart cat in the FILE_ID artwork is by The Green Herring, whose work you will be seeing a lot of in this collection!

A charismatic cyborg offers colour commentary on a futuristic race

Mistigram: this fauvist portrait of #MrZero, the announcer from the #FZero racing games, was drawn by

illarterate and won 1st place in the Nova 2024 demoparty's #Teletext compo. It was also included a year ago in the MIST-30 30th anniversary celebration artpack collection.

A full moon low in the night sky is crowned with wisps of fog and cloud, reflected in a rural lake.

Mistigram: this striking nighttime #textmode art landscape (#ASCIIart? #ANSIart? There's a little Xbin character remapping going on) was drawn by Mozz and included in last year's MIST-30 artpack collection.

mistfunk

A heavily shadowed skeletal figure with glowing white light diffusing out of its eye, nose and mouth-holes, poses jauntily in the darkness wearing a very fashionable suit jacket and tie.

Mistigram: this piece, TheWarOnXmas' amazing #ASCIIart remix of AFlamingoCup's incredible "Well-Dressed Ghost" pixelart piece from MIST1020 four years earlier, was included in last year's MIST-30 artpack collection, one of an awesome handful of updates and revisitations to worthwhile works lurking in our extensive back catalogue.

lower-case letters, themselves made out of text characters, spell out the words ansi art. art runs beneath ansi, and the descender from the i at the end of ansi becomes the t at the end of art. To the left of art is a tiny stylised heart.

Mistigram: from last year's MIST-30 artpack collection, celebrating 30 years since the establishment of our (now vintage) computer art community, here's a lovely #ASCIIart logo by our guest

darokin ironically celebrating #ANSIart. (Hey, we like to mix it up, too!)

A clean human skull, formed entirely out of gothic letters and punctuation marks, meets the viewer s gaze dead-on.

Mistigram: this elegant #textmode #skull, given rather more texture through use of a remapped #ASCIIart font than the ANSI bonehead it appeared alongside in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection, is of course the handiwork of

littlebitspace.

Two views of a bald, bearded wizard in red robes, channeling magick through his purple-crystal-topped staff.

Mistigram: Hocus pocus! Artscene veteran

zeusii drew these #ANSIart takes on a magical wizard for the Katzenpost Post Quantum Mix Network (Revolutionary post-quantum packet switching anonymous communication!) It was included in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection.

A bearded man with long, rainbow hair sits at a desk in his lab before a flashing model, flasks and test tubes bubbling merrily away all around him.

Mistigram: this animated #BBCMicro high resolution graphics #pixelart loop of an #alchemist surrounded by his bubbling kit was drawn by

blippypixel and included in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection.

mistfunk

a skeleton skateboarder does a one-arm handstand mid-trick (holding his deck in his other bony claw) while the sun and moon wheel above his kicking foot-bones... all rendered in a woodcut style by way of monochrome ANSI art.

Mistigram: Bystanders observing this gnarly #sk8r dude might be moved to remark: siiiick! No: in fact, he is completely deceased! But not even death can keep a wicked shredder down. This monochrome #ANSIart #skeleton, titled #DanseMacabre, is the handiwork of

littlebitspace, and was included in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection.

mistfunk

A horrific baron of Hell, eyes flashing, blood dripping off its fleshless face, champs its fearsome jaws at us while a stickman in the distance is subjected to eternal torments

Mistigram: In case you were considering gambling with the fate of your eternal soul, MC Fresher drew us this endless animated UTF-8 GIF animation loop of a hapless stickman being tormented eternally in flaming perdition. This piece was included in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection.
