A fancy Japanese man in full Meiji-era style poses for a portrait
Mistigram: Not only is Kalcha from Japan, but doubling down, in last month's unthemed MIST0226 artpack collection he shared with us over two dozen Japanese #ukiyoe -style portraits, composed entirely from characters in the Japanese #ShiftJIS character set.
a 3x3 grid of thumbnail images shows blocky images, often composed of typographical symbols, depicting animals, people, a graffiti tag, a tea service and a talking class of frothy beer. (As one does.)
Mistigram: aside from some computer music, nearly everything in the new, unthemed MIST0226 artpack that just dropped is some form or another of #textart and #textmode art - here is a sampling of specimens of #ASCIIart, #ANSIart, #ATASCII, #PETSCII and #ShiftJIS contained therein.
It is also for this project that I dove into ImGui, UTF8 and Shift-JIS programming madness... 🥲
Interested in that? Check this out! 😅

Catching the rays of the rising sun as it rises out of the mists, the upper peak of Mount Fuji above the treeline appears red
Mistigram: this #textart adaptation of #FineWindClearMorning (also simply called #RedFuji), one of #Hokusai's suite of #ThirtysixViewsOfMountFuji #ukiyoe prints made in the 1830s, was made by @kalchano in #ShiftJIS and included in the new fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.
King Crimson and Yes album covers are (One More Red Nightmare, 21st Century Schizoid Man, Tales of Topographic Oceans) are given Shift JIS textmode adaptations, playing up Halloweeny connections like an emphasis on the numerals 10 and 31 on an altimeter and a decibel gauge.
Mistigram: Kalcha likes to revisit and remix some of his favorites among his #ShiftJIS textmode adaptations of prog album covers, updating them to be seasonal. Here we have an assortment of Halloweenified #KingCrimson and #Yes album cover designs, included in last year's MIST1022 artpack collection.
