Apart from doodles, I'm attemting a picture inspired by a paragraph in
1633 by Eric Flint & David Weber; available from the Baen Free
Library.

I also write, and code, for fun; a prototype script of mine does this,
with figlet:
   ___
" / _ \  las, sir, in the most unexpected manner. After a long
 / /_\ \ talk with the harbor-master, Captain Leclere left Naples
 |  _  | greatly disturbed in mind. In twenty-four hours he was
 | | | | attacked by a fever, and died three days afterwards. We
 \_| |_/ performed the usual burial service, and he is at his
         rest, sewn up in his hammock with a thirty-six pound
         shot at his head and his heels, off El Giglio island. We
bring to his widow his sword and cross of honor. It was worth
while, truly," added the young man with a melancholy smile, "to
make war against the English for ten years, and to die in his bed
at last, like everybody else."
