Greetings, everyone, from the Mistigris computer art collective! We started releasing artpacks in area code 604's PC underground scene in 1994, full of , , , and other good stuff, extending into the early Internet (first homepage on Geocities, many hours whiled away on the IRC) but drying up and evaporating by the turn of the century in the transition from the BBS/CLI to Web/GUI paradigm.

Then we stewed in nostalgia until hosting a reunion for our 20th anniversary in 2014, which got us back on track to releasing artpacks again -- now with representation from vintage art fellow traveler forms such as , and !

Mostly we organize through our Discord (invite at discord.com/invite/9R84QUN ) but are always happy to represent wherever the creative techy folks are to be found!
