Mistigram: though we mostly focus on releasing science fiction-themed art in May, due to the interests of its mastermind, @kirkman, who provided most of its showpieces, there was quite a bit of it in the IGNITE01 collection of multimedia #AtariST #IGS (#InstantGraphicsAndSound) works we shared last year on New Year's Eve. Because scientific progress goes "boink", this one is a tribute to Bill Watterson's beloved #CalvinAndHobbes comic strip.
Mistigram: one year & five days ago, we nominally assisted @Kirkman in releasing the improbable IGNITE01 artpack, featuring Instant Graphics & Sound multimedia screens for Atari ST BBS callers. One of its included artworks was this important disclaimer, designed by Weatherman115.
Mistigram: from the recent IGNITE01 collection of vector art and multimedia in the #AtariST's long-forgotten IGS (#InstantGraphicsAndSound) format circa 1990, here's a pristine mountainous landscape drawn by LDA.
Mistigram: on New Year's Eve we released two artpacks -- the second of them, IGNITE01, was a collection of multimedia screens drawn in the #AtariST's forgotten IGS (Instant Graphics & Sound) format, intended for BBS use, curated by @kirkman14 as part of his deep dive into the defunct system, extensively documented at https://breakintochat.com/blog/category/instant-graphics-and-sound/ This spiralling specimen, "the recursion is justified", was drawn by Moth.
Mistigram: This escaped Space Invader, drawn by polyducks, is a highlight of #IGS vector graphics from the recent IGNITE01 artpack collection of modern examples of the #AtariST's #InstantGraphicsAndSound format. You can enjoy further specimens via https://16colo.rs/pack/ignite01
Mistigram: for some time our oldschool colleague @kirkman of BreakIntoChat.com has been investigating and reviving the long-defunct #IGS (Instant Graphics and Sound) multimedia vector art format intended in the early '90s for use on #AtariST BBSes. This research culminated in our joint release of the IGNITE01 artpack collection on the final day of 2024 (our second artpack release of that day!), including several animated screens with sound effects that he made and numerous static illustrations, many of them drawn by regulars of the Mistigris computer art collective. You can enjoy seeing the static screens (and downloading the animated ones for local display) via the @16colors web gallery, or if you prefer you can watch them all display as they would have unfolded on period BBSes on YouTube via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS_riObN32o . Kirkman's complete explorations into the history of the IGS file format can be enjoyed at https://breakintochat.com/blog/category/instant-graphics-and-sound/?order=asc
