Mistigram: may I have your attention, please! Today's AdeptApril #ANSIart screen observes an important event (that might, in turn, be observing you back) -- #Velociraptor Awareness Day. But please be warned: awareness of the velociraptor may not be sufficient to ensure your safety...
"You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the other two 'raptors you didn't even know were there."
Mistirgam: @zirroneous of Fire Graphics was awarded second place for the most recent Blender improvised computer art competition, with this long #ANSIart interpretation of the topics MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS / ROBBERY / ARRAKIS. We are hosting another Blender this weekend, Apr 20-21, on channel #blender on the EFNet. You are all welcome to particpate! Broad details at https://mistigris.org/blender/blend.html
Mistigram: "The Blender" is an improvised computer art competition where participants try to "blend" three spontaneous topics into a unified work of art. Last time around @_n1tr0n took the assigned topics of "Power Rangers / Robbery / Arrakis" as license to draw this #ANSIart portrait of #ElizabethBanks as #RitaRepulsa, and for his trouble he took home third prize.
We are running another Blender compo this weekend, from May 20-21. General details at https://mistigris.org/blender/blend.html , or just jump in to channel #blender on the EFNet IRC. Cheers & Blend on!
Mistigram: This day comes up every week, but if you have a big enough wardrobe you can get away with doing it once a year. That's right, it's laundry day - National Laundry Day - commemorated here in an #ANSIart illustration by AdeptApril of hypnotic laundromat washing machines.
Mistigram: it's a wild twofer today: you get both National #Dolphin Day as well as the International Day of #Pink. (As for the pink dolphins in the Amazon? For them, it's just another regular day!) This observant #ANSIart screen was drawn by AdeptApril.
Mistigram: today AdeptApril celebrates the favorite board game of spelling bee enthusiasts worldwide, so here's an #ANSIart grid of fixed-width semigraphics characters representing a grid of fixed-width letters on a #Scrabble board. Try to play it on a triple word score!
Mistigram: hold your breath, we're leaving the troposphere! Today AdeptApril helps us to celebrate the International Day of Human #Spaceflight with this #ANSIart screen of an #astronaut conducting an #EVA.
Mistigram: AdeptApril helps us to celebrate other occasions every other day, so today we can celebrate her: she gets a day off for her #birthday, with this guest #ANSIart screen again provided by LDA. Hats off!
Mistigram: this Spring has already been a pretty magical season, what with the appearance of the Easter eggs, Christ's resurrection and that business with the eclipse, and capping it all off, today is National #Unicorn Day! This #ANSIart screen celebrating the occasion was drawn by AdeptApril for Storm BBS.
Mistigram: in keeping with today's zeitgeist of #totality, here's a #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen by @blippypixel depicting the main event, cosmically speaking: a #TotalEclipse. This piece was included in the science fiction-themed MIST0521 artpack collection released three years ago.
Mistigram: everywhere you look online today, everyone is discussing the same topic: that's right, drawing birds. How did they all know how timely they were? I have no idea, but now thanks to AdeptApril's #ANSIart illustration on the subject, you're also up to speed with today's unlikely observance.
Mistigram: it may no longer be the most popular subject of video games that it was for the six years before Space Invaders hit the scene, but #PingPong, aka #TableTennis, remains an exciting sport still widely played today -- as commemorated by this #ANSIart screen by AdeptApril.
Mistigram: today, we celebrate the weed everyone hates to love, the sunny #dandelion! This #ANSIart observance of its day was drawn by AdeptApril.
