Talk: Sorry Susie

MJ,

THanks very much for your note.  I really never intended to stir up this
hornet's nest like this.  I wish I could just unpost but I don't think that's
an option.

Maybe it wouldn't be an issue if I never posted any characters such as
Disney or other cartoons, but to be honest those are some of the fun ones.
And when it comes right down to it, I suppose you could say that nearly every
source is someone else's idea, unless you're creating entirely from your mind.
Ling LIng came from a small valentine... The apple picture (which I don't know
if I posted here) came from a picture on a school paper, the picture of the
animals picking an apple came from a painting book.  Yes, I change it quite a'
bit when I do it as ASCII art, but I do get basic ideas and inspiration from
other sources.

Before I found this newsgroup, the only ASCII art that I had ever seen that
was computer generated was basically abstract designs.  THey were fun to
look at, but I had no idea that it could be so incredible.  The picture of
Einstein in the ASCII FAQ was one of the nicest things I'd ever seen.  And
to be honest, it was rather intimidating.  I hesitated to post here at all
because I figured people were used to that quality and I didn't think my
pictures measured up.  To me, it's so obvious the difference between what I
do and what a computer can generate.  The detail on a computer-generated
picture is so very precise.

Well, now I'm the one who is babbling.  THe author of the note which
prompted me to withdraw from this group wrote an apology.  I appreciate his
effort.  He apparently did not realize that the work I do is not computer
generated.

Thanks again for your note.  I probably should have sent this privately, but
now that it's written I haven't got a clue as to how to do that. Oh, by the way,
I'm MRS.  :)  (And I've got six kids, who really enjoy this art stuff too.)
