We at #Pizzatoe #Pt put a lot of effort into polishing this version — adding intricate details to the hair, clothes, and accessories. We also redesigned the background, placing the character deep inside a mysterious cave to spark an adventure. We love the dynamic energy this piece brings.

Mistigram: this one has a fun history - Happyfish drew this crunchy #ANSIart logo for the food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine back in its first wind just before the turn of the century, unaware it would wait a further quarter-century before being seen and enjoyed by any other living soul.

Mistigram: while we're covering beverages, here's @Joninscii's self-drinking #ASCIIart #coffee cup to get your week started! This was included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.
