Re: cool art

How the heck do you figure out how to make art doing this ascii art

yup, there is!

(Though, no _real_ ascii artists use one)

Drawing:

Ascii Paint [Mac]
The Draw [PC] (Ascii and ANSI)

Lettering

FIGlet [Most platforms]

Converting

Gif2ANSI [PC]

I'm also aware of a mac-program for converting PICTS to ascii, 
anyone know how to get this and it's name?

(I know of a site, but it's always busy)
<whacked.l0pht.com>

Elaine: Search for any of these names on f.ex:
<http://www.filez.com>

If you want to learn it the old fashioned way, take a look
at the tutorial and the ASCII art FAQ at:

Erik (obsessed on promoting my Ascii site)
